Florida Baby Shower (Cont.)




All because of the two very special ladies above... my day was so extremely special! :) When I walked in there were near 60 ladies there from our church! There was a crib set up with all of the presents in and around it... can we say overwhelming?

I've said this before but when you aren't from somewhere you don't always feel at home... which is how I feel quite often here in Florida.... sometimes I'm not sure why but other times I just feel out of place. Because I feel like this a lot, I wasn't quite sure how the shower would go... but it made me feel special they were doing one none the less... I can say now that the ladies in our church went above and beyond themselves to make me feel at home on Saturday and for that I am extremely blessed. It's so nice to be proven wrong sometimes! ;) I feel so overwhelmed with how much people showed they care and I appreciate it so much. One thing that happened that was amazing was, Cindy's Sunday school class (my mother in law), took it upon themselves to gather up money from the entire class in order to give to me in cash so that Sheldon and I were able to buy a big item that we still needed. THEY GAVE US NEARLY $250!!!! (That night we went straight to BabysRus and bought the stroller travel system we registered for!) Talk about a good slap in the face! AMAZING! The whole time was just very emotional! AGAIN, I knew God would provide for us in every way needed but yet again, I AM SHOCKED! lol and I shouldn't be! :) HE IS GOOD! Thank you so much to everyone that took part in the shower and helped to make it special for Avery and I, we appreciate it so much and I cannot wait for her to meet and get to know all of you! :)
