Today I had another shower, this time with friends from work thrown by Debby, arguably the best cook in the entire office. Needless to say the food was delicious! In addition to friends from work the "grandma's" were also invited. You'll notice Malena in the picture but my mom wasn't able to make it. This week she fell off the ladder while picking cherries from a tree in their mini-orchard and landed square on her knee:( She can't get around very well but did still manage to make the cherry pie! It was so much fun seeing people from work outside the office and I was really touched by how many people were able to come.
Last weekend Erin, Kelley, and Tara hosted a couples shower for us. Finally Ryan got to open some presents! We grilled out, ate cake from Concannons (the best bakery in the world for those of you who've never been to Muncie, IN), sculpted babies out of playdough, and of course opened gifts. Everyone contributed to a very special gift, an "advice book" where each person wrote some words of wisdom/encouragement for us. We've loved reading thorough it. The excitement of the day came when Alisha realized the diamond had falled out of her engagement ring and we were all down on all fours tearing up Steve and Tara's house (all I found was a toy cell phone and a couple pennies) until she finally found it in her purse:) Thanks to all for making this such a great shower, we feel blessed to have such amazing friends.
