Although most of my days are jam-packed with eating and watching TV... occasionally I can make time to do other things. Last weekend I went to the RWU Golf Tournament, obviously to support my basketball family. And here is where I include a
very special shout out to PAIGE CONGDON. My red headed best friend who is jealous that my cousin gets all of the shout outs. We frolocked the streets of Newport hand in hand and had a jolly ol' time. Monday morning we had to leave our lovely king sized bed and head to the golf banquet. While there I bought four wing-spans worth of raffle tickets, which I figured out to be just under 200 tickets. I know what you're thinking, I bought so many tickets because all of my money is supporting the basketball team. Wrong. I selfishly was determined to win as much as I possibly could. Well, the plan worked. I won an autographed baseball from Red Sox player Andrew Miller. And an autographed football helmet from Patriot's player Jerod Mayo. I have no clue who either of these people are, but I figured they would look nice on display in the baby's room. (Which is coming along nicely by the way).
Just a few days ago I had the biggest surprise of my life. A BABY SHOWER. I've secretly been waiting but had no idea if I was actually going to get one or not. My Aunt hosted while my number one fan, Caroline, planned. I was told it was a going away party for Caroline, which made sense seeing as she's leaving for college this week. So we get there and I was clearly oblivious to everything that was going on. When I walked in everyone had their camera's in my face, everyone was staring at me with a creepy smile, and some of my good high school friends were there. In my mind, I thought the camera's were because I love telling people to take pictures and tag me. I thought the creepy smiles were just, well, creepy. And my high school friends all know Caroline. So I didn't really think twice. I didn't notice all of the presents in a crib, the baby shower banner or all of the baby themed foods... It wasn't until my Aunt yelled, "Well, Surprise!" that it clicked. A surprise indeed. The shower was wonderful. I got everything I could ever need. Play pens, bouncers, stroller, car seat, bottles, diapers, clothes, toys, blankets, bath supplies... I really do feel grateful for the friends and family I have. I was just so excited because this meant that I actually had things to put in the nursery! My next adventure is organizing and putting the finishing touches on the nursery!
