Last..but certainly not least!

Who says you cant go home again????
Here are pics of my baby shower in Birmingham, Alabama. Yes, thats right, I'm about as southern as they come. Jimmy and I moved to Atlanta about 3 years ago. We love it here, but miss our wonderful friends and family back in Birmingham.
Well, you know it takes a lot of wine to get me through a baby shower( if its my shower that is) without crying, and frankly, my mom and nana were there so it wasnt that kind of shower ;)) so yes, here is my brief emotional break down which occured while reading the first few pages of ---I Love You Like Crazy Cakes---to the group. you know the page that says something like: "There was a woman who had lots of friends but needed a baby.......that woman was me." Well, that woman WAS ME. and when I read that line.........well, the rest is history. Dont ever think you have to have pregnancy hormones to become a complete baby sap. it happens to the best of us. I've cried in front of most everyone I know! and now all of you!


Daphne, I've taken this poster EVERYWHERE . My friend, Tracy painted the above tiles complete with ladybugs
Southern cooking..........cant beat it. I had a lovely cake with dragon flies..trying to get it to load......will hopefully add it later.

The girls/ladies at this shower have known me all or most of my life. One of my favorite things was that everyone went around and introduced themselves (although many of them already knew each other) and shared, either how they met me, or a funny memory we have together. I just love that kind of stuff---told you i'm a sap. anyway, it was funny and quite a walk down memory lane. It was so special to celebrate this occasion with them. After all, they've seen me at my best and worst; being graceful and behaving badly; and have loved me during both.
Thanks for making my day so special, girls.........and so much fun! I'll never forget it.
