Shower #1 Was A Success!!!

Today we had our first baby shower with our Lafayette family and friends. Although it started off a little rough, it was overall a success. Besides the weather not cooperating, there was a little confusion and drama when we arrived at O'Charley's. The room they had originally  reserved for us was in use. So in a rush to get us a spot they sat us (a party of 20+) in the middle of other customers enjoying their lunch. After much frustration the manager cleared the room, gave us free appetizers and gave everyone a free meal. THANK YOU O'CHARLEY'S!!!I was very happy to spend time with friends and family. I have been quite the hermit crab during my pregnancy and don't visit with friends much. We received a great amount of gifts. I feel so blessed and thankful for all the wonderful things we received for Hunter today. He is most definitely going to be well dressed/handsome little guy. Some of the items we received were:

baby blankets, onesies, lots of clothes, bath stuff, bath robe,Hunter's first piggy bank (with money in it), swim trunks, diapers and wipes,Colt's hoodie with sweats, IU booties, Purdue socks and an awesome baby scrapbook (with Hunter's name on it and decorated for each major event of his first year).


Thank you to everyone that made this day special. Anthony and I truly enjoyed it and we are thankful for everything.

Another New Adventure

Anthony has been waiting for a call about a possible new job. Well, today he got the call and accepted the position!!! It's a position at a correctional facility. This is a position he has been searching and applying for months and months. Anthony is very excited about the position and I am very proud of him for pursing a career he has been wanting for awhile. This new job adventure also means we will be relocating our family closer to Indy. We keep praying things fall into place closer and closer to the arrival of Hunter, so far things are looking up. We definitely have some new adventures heading our way in the next few months and we are very excited (and a little anxious at the same time).
