Blessed by a shower of LOVE

Last night, 7-28, my best friend, Becky, threw a "mommy shower" for me. All of my closest friends were there and showered me with love and goodies. This being my third child, and third boy at that, they decided to shower me rather than the baby. What a neat idea. Becky did this for Sandy last year as she was expecting her third boy as well (must be something in the water! Ha.) but it was really neat. I feel pretty undeserving but so humbled by everyone's love and generosity. I made out like a bandit! (as my father-in-law would say). I received gift cards, lotions, bath gels, soaps, pajamas, jewelry and even a snack basket with movie rental gift card! I also received gift certificates for a pedicure and manicure which I've never had before. I'm really looking forward to that!

Our church family is such a blessing to me and I'm sure these girls do not know what they mean to me. They are truly servants and live such godly lives. They are an inspiration and encouragement to me. I often wonder how they have the time to do all the things that they do. But it occurred to me tonight that they DON'T have the time--they MAKE the time. I wish I could be more like that. Thank you girls for all you have done and continue to me. Thank you for the wonderful atmosphere you provide for me and the encouragement you are to me. I love you all dearly!
Becky gave me a ready made scrapbook to put pictures of Rhett in. I have tried to keep a scrapbook for each child's first year. Jagger's is not even half-way done. The ready made scrapbook is a BIG hit with me as it takes some of the pressure off having to make one! :)

I realized as I was looking through pictures that I failed to get a picture of me and Becky. I am so sad! :( Thanks, Becky for all your hard work and for EVERYTHING you do for me!

By the way, the food was INCREDIBLE at the shower! Chicken salad, bread, watermelon, cantaloupe, and baby rattle cupcakes that were unbelievably cute! Becky blogged about this on her page and you can read about it here as well as snag the recipes! Very much worth writing down!
