Suprise Housewarming Shower

I am a very suspicious person. (That's a better word for nosey). 

Anyhow.......I just about got the suprise of my life a few weeks ago. It would have been a complete suprise, but someone happened to make a comment that made me wonder if something was going on. 

Then at school, the secretary passed out notes to staff members that invited them to a staff lunch the next day, which was on a Saturday. I immediately, was suspicious. So, I'll admit that I read another teacher's note to see if it said the same thing as mine. Ha ha 

I still wasn't sure. I began texting my sister Melissa that I had a feeling my church was having me a shower the next day. We laughed and talked about how silly I would feel the next day when I showed up and it was in fact a staff dinner. The whole time I talked to her though I kept telling her I was suspicious of her and that she was probably in on it too. She just laughed and told me I was dumb. 

I didn't tell Maynard about the staff dinner to see if he would get antsy about asking me what we were going to do the next day. Just to see if he knew about it. He never said anything, so I figured he was clueless too. His text messages on his phone checked out ok too. Ha ha ha

So Saturday, we pulled up in the church parking lot and my kids began recognizing my family's vehicles. Then, I knew my hunch was right. 

The very sister I couldn't trust was inside grinning from ear to ear at me. 

Everything was beautiful!!

All the decorations on the table were my gifts as well!  Talk about loving the decorations!!!

We had tons of food and presents. 

I think what suprised me most was I had no idea that my mom had planned the shower. She had my friend Heather helping her on this end with the decorations and such. Then I felt jealous that my Mom and sister had been texting and chit chatting back and forth with her. I told them I don't share my friend. Lol

But I was worried why I was getting a shower and yet 2 other families had just moved the weekend before in the church. So when I found out my Mom was the one who planned it, it all made more sense to me. 

I had a blast opening gifts. I got lots of nice things. We've been married 17 1/2 years and most what I use still is stuff from our wedding shower. 

The boys got western decor for their room and Amelia got pink chevron decor for her room. They were as excited as Maynard and I was. 

I got all kinds of kitchen stuff. I had mentioned to someone about wanting Pioneer Woman pots, pans, and dishes. 

We were beyond blessed and so thankful for our family and friends to come together and bless us like they did. 

We will be moving soon. We only lack a few piddly things to finish. 

I am loving the wall colors and the floors make the house look so much more spacious. 

I will update once we get moved or at least get started.
