anyway, while i never got the wedding of my dreams, i did get the man of my dreams. and with that, another dream came true: our baby boy :) i couldn't be happier. yesterday, we had our baby shower and well, it was one of the most memorable times of my life. ted and i were surrounded by our family and friends and when we came home, ted said something that almost made me choke with tears. he said, "babe, i felt so loved today." i asked him what he meant by that and he said, "well, i've never really had anything where people showed up for me. it just feels really good" and he was just smiling from ear to ear while he was saying it. THAT alone made me happier than i already was. and while i'm super thankful for everyone who showered us with so much love and shared in our happiness, there are a few people i would like to give special thanks to:
Ate Chi- thank you for making the invitations and sending them out. also, thank you for hosting the games and making sure that everything went well at the shower. thank you for helping me set up and just being there for me, ted, and the baby. you were first to be there with me and last to leave. thank you!
this diaper cake was absolutely beautiful! THANK YOU, ate chi!
Jen Kim- i know you're Jennifer LaBrie now but you'll always be Jen Kim to me :) thank you for personalizing my giveaways and for being excited for me and the shower. because of that, i got excited, too. and thank you for our banner that you made! you're super creative and thoughtful!
this was such a beautiful banner, jen!
and how cute were the tags?! they matched the giveaways! :D
Susie- thank you for making the flower centerpieces and for getting the mint holders with the shredded papers. your idea was genius! i'm so glad you put pieces of safari animals in them. that gave it a special touch :)
how cute and pretty was this centerpiece?!
and we even got to match the mints with the whole theme!
Pauline- thank you for making the SUPER CUTE money tree. we absolutely loved it. and making it orange just made me feel even more special :) i felt like you made it for ME and not the baby. haha! also, thank you for the notes you bought so that everyone can write things to dylan and to us. that was a great idea and i can incorporate that into my scrap booking.
we LOVED this money tree!
such a sentimental thing from someone so thoughtful :)
Megan- thank you for making the beautiful cake. that was the one thing that Ted was most looking forward to. he couldn't stop talking about that cake and EVERYONE thought it was amazing. not just visually but it was one of the best cakes we've ever had :)
this cake was sooooo cute and soooo yummy!
Dee- thank you for being there early and for helping me set up. also, thank you for making the banner. if it were any other person, the banner would've been all sorts of messed up and off centered since you had to put the stickers on it. because of you, it actually looked cute. haha!
and lastly, Nheil- thank you for being my ride and for giving baby dylan your entire day yesterday :) thank you for helping me set up, load the car with all the gifts, and helping us unload all the stuff as well. GIGIMAW!!!
thanks for all the help, kid!
overall, yesterday was such a beautiful and special day for us. our deepest gratitude to everyone who came out and share our happiness with us. baby dylan, ted, and i are extremely lucky and blessed to be surrounded by such good, loving, and beautiful people. thank you, thank you!
kloveyoubye!
