My friends Joe and Sarah had a baby shower last Saturday afternoon. I left home 1/2 hour before it started, which was pushing it, for sure, but should have put me there right around the start of the thing.
First I got behind Slowy McSlowerson. (He actually went 25 in a 25. Full three second stops at stop signs.) Then I had to pull over for one of those police-escorted motorcycle brigades. (Can someone PLEASE tell me the purpose of those? I honestly don't know but that's the second one I've had to pull over for in the last two weeks.) Then I got slowed WAY down in a construction zone.
By that time, not only was I late...but my car was overheating again - just like it did on the interstate during my Wisconsin vacation. I had to pull over four times just to make sure I didn't get stranded in the middle of an intersection. I was shaking, crying, having a SERIOUS come-to-Jesus moment, and unable to reach my parents for help. They were at the shower. Their phone was at home. Lovely.
So my grand entrance to the shower (late) was complete with tears.
Dad left to tend to my car, and I proceeded to enjoy the shower.
Joe and I went to high school together, and I met Sarah after they got married and we all went to church together. You might remember Sarah from some of my Craft Hideaway posts. She loves that place!
This is their first baby...and she is one well loved little bundle of joy - already!
Sarah is also the maker of Flour Child Cupcakes - so you can see why this was such a PERFECT gift.
Joe and Sarah are going to be great parents. I have no doubt about it at all.
Faith and I gave her a Bumbo seat. Note: those are impossible to wrap and no one sells gift bags that large (in the greater South Marion area, anyway).
Sarah 'n me. Can't wait to meet little Magdalena!!
Also can't wait for my car to be fixed!
