Showered With Love

This is way overdue...but over the past month, I have been blessed with 2 wonderful baby showers in New York. The first was a COMPLETE surprise! My team and friends at work put it all together. They did it a good 3 weeks before my last day in the office, so it would "throw" me off. They did an amazing job! I thought I was going to a marketing meeting, so you'll notice the laptop in hand and especially the look of shock to see about 60 of my team members, including the partners and practice leaders, AND my husband there to celebrate this fun time. So fun!

The other shower, was given by my sweet friends from church. It was such a beautiful shower; they put so much thought and detail into everything. Here are just a few of the pictures taken and here is the link to the website (Shawna's NY shower), so you can see more. Keep in mind they are unedited, so you may see a lot of Shawna opening gifts and making really funny faces.

The funniest part of it all, was how to get all of the gifts back to our place. It's not like you have a car just outside to load them up into and David happened to have the CFA exam on the same day! So, my friend's sweet husband loaded up a "hotel" cart and pushed all of the gifts 2 blocks and helped us get them all home. There were 5 other girls who helped as well, so we literally looked like a parade marching up the upper east side. Now that is a great NY memory for sure!

We feel so blessed by those around us in NY and in Texas who have celebrated this special time with us. We can't wait for Kate to enjoy all of her new things!! Thank you to all of you who helped with these special events!
