Blessed

Last night Dave and I had a couples baby shower (aka: a baby shower guys are actually invited to) given by Ashley/Prashant, Courtney/Jake, Michele/Stewart, Fran/Marc, and Cassie/Wade. It was amazing to say the least. From the beautiful house it was hosted in (thank you Michele and Stew), to the refreshing cocktails (that unfortunantely I couldn't partake in), to the guys smoking their stogies on the man porch, to the delicious food. Everything was perfect! (the food was catered by Ashley's sister, Emily Sasser. Owner & Chef of Mary Jane's Confection http://www.maryjanesconfections.com/. If you need a caterer in the metro area - call Emily. She's awesome)!
These couples put a lot of time and effort into the shower and it showed. It wasn't just about the gifts & food (though that part was great too). It was just so wonderful to see all of our dear friends come out and support Dave and me as we are creeping towards parenthood. We love everyone so dearly and are truly grateful for everyone coming last night. After opening gifts, Dave stood up to thank everyone and quoted his good friend , Rosing, by saying, "I like to think of my friends as family I got to choose. I love every one of you here tonight." It was so sweet and very true to how we feel about everyone. We are so dearly blessed to have such amazing friends!
