I actually hadn't seen Amber and Kayl in almost two years so it was nice to reconnect with them. It was also a chance for me to see one of my former college roommates (I hadn't seen her in over a year) and one of my friends since I was six years old (I hadn't seen her in over four years). It is truly nice knowing I have such long term, life long friends!
The shower itself had a "Fill Her Nest" theme, complete with birdhouses, bird statues and feathers. It was pretty darn adorable! My cake was fantastic! A chocolate chip cake with rolled fondant icing. It tasted as good as it looked, if not better!
I received all kinds of useful presents!!
One thing I do regret is not getting a group picture of every one who attended before my guests began to leave.
My awesome day was also very bittersweet. That's because I had to say an actual good-bye to someone for the first time in my life. It was this gal:
My amazing sister. She's moving to China in March. Needless to say, the waterworks started, and things weren't quite the same after she and our mom left.
Speaking of my sister, because of their big move, she loaded Greg and I up with all kinds of baby essentials, toys, and clothes. We honestly had to rent a U-Haul trailer just to get everything back home. I still need a few baby items, but overall I feel completely set to bring Baby Parker home in a few short months!

Great to have you back in the blogging world :-)
It looks like a great day! I'm sure it was incredibly sad to say goodbye to S.
Your Mom looks fantastic.
I'll be sure to pass that along Heidi!
Thanks, Nora! I actually have so much to blog about but no time to do so!!! ;)
I am so sorry that I could not make the drive.
Heidi is right your Mom looks great.
I know it is going to be hard when she leaves, even though we don't see her often she is right up or down the road but now that won't be the case.
I'm glad you had a great day.
What an adorable shower theme!! You had a great shower, to have to rent a UHAUL trailer, that is awesome!
The Shower was a lot of fun and B you were missed.
Myhouse looks funny with almost no baby stuff it in. The backyard is very empty now too. You will still need infant toys. I didn't supply you with many of those. I'm not following mom and getting rid of all the cute classic baby things.
Parker is set otherwise!
