Surprise Baby Shower!

BabyMama — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:59:49 +0000

This past weekend I was lucky enough to be showered again with gifts and love! My aunt Sandy organized a “surprise” baby shower for me out in Pottstown. I knew about it but knew none of the details. Jon and I arrived at my parent’s house at noon on Saturday. I was blindfolded and put in the car and told not to ask any questions….I believe this was some sort of revenge for the way in which we told my parents I was pregnant (video to come soon of that, I promise). Needless to say, the ride from Wayne to Pottstown (about 45 minutes) was almost unbearable being blindfolded. I stuck it out though and lasted the whole way without being able to see. My mom led me into the restaurant and apparently it was the most hilarious spectacle. I wish I could have been an outsider looking in instead of being the idiot who was blindfolded!

Here are a bunch of shots. Visit Jon’s Flickr Page to see the originals!

Thanks again to everyone who helped to organize and keep me in the dark!

Baby Shower!

This past weekend Jon’s family (major props to Allison and Janet) threw us a fantastic pool side shower. There was tons of amazing food, incredible presents and fun had by all. Here are a few pics and videos of our time showering it up!

Here is what happens when Jon’s old band arrives and takes over the pool. It was such an impressive feat because it literally took them 50 tries to nail the final dunk–go Jon, Mr. Dunk himself!

Thanks again to all those that attended. Jon and I had a blast. Everyone was so generous with their gifting. Elzie is so set!

ENGAGED!!!!!

Well, it looks like we are one step closer to making this website’s name a little less meaningful….much to our parent’s delight I am sure! Here is a little video of our adventures from yesterday!

It’s difficult to see the ring in the video but its a beautiful antique piece that we believe belonged to Jon’s Grandmother. I am in the process of finding out its true origins. Amazingly, it fits PERFECTLY which was just the icing on the cake of this fun surprise engagement!
