Showering Kelly!

This post is about...OH...five months behind. Oops, my bad. 

Back on October 14th, no judgement please, Stephanie and I had the pleasure of throwing our best friend Kelly, a bridal shower. We stuck with the color scheme of her wedding, yellow and gray, and had a lovely outdoor shower for our bestie. It was a beautiful day on the rooftop and I loved every second of it.
Let me let you in on a little secret. I was about 8 or 9 weeks pregnant at this time and had told absolutely NO ONE. I may or may not have been a bit nauseous and on edge wanting to spew my news to my family and best friends. It was interesting, but oh so much fun!

Kelly is so amazing and her wedding a few weeks later was absolutely perfect. I have had the privilege of calling Kelly my bestie since the first grade and love experiencing every milestone of life side by side. There is nothing she can't do and she has such a bright future ahead of her. 

Now on to the pictures!

Baby Shower Time!


Let me start by saying I absolutely love throwing a shower. I am so into the decorating, food and all that jazz. It's RIGHT up my alley. I've had the opportunity to throw a few and I always have a blast doing it. I have to say that it is a whole new ball game when the roles are reversed and the shower is thrown for you. It's just as fabulous, I can't lie. 

Before I left South Carolina for Arizona, my fabulous best friends threw me a great baby shower. They really outdid themselves and it was amazing. There were beautiful decorations, delicious food, and a house FULL of people from all different parts of my life. Throughout the shower, I just kept getting struck with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Gratitude to Kelly, Kristin, Stephanie, and Jackie for throwing the shower, gratitude for Mr. Steve and Mrs. Janice Amell for opening their home to me once again for this wonderful shower, gratitude for all of the people in attendance who have played such an important role in my life, gratitude for my family for all of their support, gratitude for being completely spoiled with gifts, and gratitude for the upcoming role of Momma I will soon play. It was a perfect afternoon and it was so fun to get prepared for our little baby boy.
