The Tall & Short Of It: Couple's Shower

This past weekend we took a trip out to the farm and had a blast! Saturday morning Jackie Jensen of Jacqueline Kay Photography (she's Darron's cousin), took our maternity photos. We went around the property and Jackie took some gorgeous photos! You just wait - there are pictures to prove that I sat and laid down in the tall, chigger infested grass! :P It was worth it though, and when I get those photos from Jackie, I'll be posting them here!

Sunday morning we had sweet fellowship with special folks at Granny's. We had six workers there since Saturday was a work day at Marysville, so that was extra special! Then, our dear sweet Justine & Derek threw us a couple's shower at their newlywed nest! It was so cute and fun! It was a cookout, or "Baby-Q" if you will, and it was PERFECT weather for it! I was even able to sit outside to eat, comfortably! In mid-August! 8 months pregnant! :P Anyhow, I was also super excited that our friend (and elder from the Manhattan meeting) Les Kuehne was so kind as to bring up my dear friend Donna Burton. Donna and I were both managers at Orion together, and through trying to survive our time there, we became good friends! It was so special to have her there, as well as our friend Natalie Johnson! Natalie is Nick Patch's girlfriend. For those of you who haven't had the privilege of meeting Nick yet, he and Darron were partners in crime at K-State while working on their Master's degrees (I'm really not sure how they got anything done or graduated with all the pranks they pulled!), and they remain good friends. You'll probably see posts in the future (after baby) involving all of us shooting out at the farm together! :) Anyhow, we were SO glad and thankful to have everyone there who was able to come, it really made it extra special! So here are just a few pics of the decorations...
