Velocity's first baby shower

I'm so glad time is going by quickly--I was worried that August and September would draaaaaag.  Today I'm hopping on a plane to California--my last trip before being a mom! I know it will get much much harder to travel when I have a kid.

Celia threw me an awesome baby shower on Saturday.  I am incredibly awkward about parties thrown in my honor (which I discovered two years ago during my bridal showers) but this wasn't awkward at all!    Hallelujah.  I guess it was really in Velocity's honor, and that makes all the difference.  It was so fun to hang out with my friends and eat delicious food.  (Funny thing about Celia, Ashley, Katy, and me--ANY party we throw features turkey sandwiches and cupcakes.  Other things too, but ALWAYS turkey sandwiches and cupcakes.) (Fool that I am, I did not take a single solitary picture.  I am a complete loser.  I need to do better.)  I received blankets, toys, Velocity's very first book (Curious George's ABC book, I love it!), a ton of toiletry-type items that are going to be sooo useful and I'm glad I don't have to think about buying later, and a gorgeous car canopy made by Amanda.  I made out like a bandit!  We kind of ended up hanging out for hours chatting, and I loved it when Kyle came and joined us to eat and hang out.  They are all his friends too!  It was awesome.

We're finally watching Supernatural season 5 whenever we get a chance.  I can't believe we have to put it on hold for a whole week while I'm gone!  I don't know if  we can survive without more Sam and Dean...
