Showered with Love
This post is long overdue! I am starting to feel a trend coming on... amazing stories to write and so little time!! I can only imagine the loss of free time that is quickly approaching me. So I better get to it and stop diddle dallying....
A few weeks ago, a lovely group of ladies threw me a shower above all showers. It all started with handmade invites, complete with a sewn on fabric swatch of one of our nursery fabrics...
Excitedly I waited a few more weeks and with a few hints the night finally came!! I can't explain the love I felt when I walked through the door and saw every tiny detail and thought behind all the planning. All the effort it took to pull this shower off litereally took my breath away and left me oooing and awwwing for days!
{Me with the beautiful hostesses!!! More on them later...}
These girls put so much into the shower and not only made me feel super special but also Wyatt's G-Ma's {mine and Jake's mom's self proclaimed nickname} and Auntie. When they arrived they found themselves reserved seats with brag books in the same amazing nursery print!!
There were banners sewn in the different prints, napkins with Wyatt's name, coffee cups custom designed for us, pencils personalized and lots and lots of yummy treats! Oh but that's not even the half of it...so instead of telling you, how about you see for yourself!
{yummy...this belly is about to get a little bigger!!}
{favor doggie boxes & personalized napkins}
{pencils saying "baby Wyatt is on his way!" and "it's a BOY for the Brodskys!"
{WYATT letters and some banners that will be making an apperence in the nursery...}
{Adorable "Brodsky" coffee cups}
{On the back were little custom squares like Starbucks cups...& of course "W" stir sticks!}
{bow wreaths decorated the front door and 2 rocking chairs on the front porch}
{everyone took home magnets reminding them to pray for baby Wyatt...and prayers are much appreciated!}
{Julie took pictures of me one day and framed prints as decor}
{Everywhere....}
{I mean everwhere!!}
{didn't believe me?...EVERYWHERE!}
{we were showered with lots of presents and some much love!}
{I also had thank you cards to match!}
{some of the amazing flower arrangements}
{we played a trivia game...questions all from this very blog!}
{and had a wonderful devotion from my bible study leader for the last 3 years, Kristin Stone}
{Quite possibly one of projectbrodsky.com's most devoted fans Vickie!}
{Me with Jennie, a fellow preggers, Emy & the woman responsible for most the yummy treats...Elyse}
{Me with Shannon & Lauren}
{Me with Heidi, Jenny & baby Amelia}
{Me with Jill, Kate & Tiffany}
{The hostess with the mostest!!}
Julie, words can not express how much I love and appriciate you! Thank you for opening up your home {& fully renovating it} for quite possibly one of the best baby showers ever!! You're creativity is truly inspiring, but your love for the Lord and your gift to show His love through your hospitality is something I yearn to be! Thank you for your sewing, photographing, chocolate dipping, graphic designing, baby booking, and all around shower planning!! You are the best!
{And as my sis-in-law put it, "When I grow up, I want to be Julie"...and I second that!}
{Little Wy Wy's Auntie Jack Jack}
Jackie, your excitement for this shower kept me intrigued the whole planning process! I can always count on you for encouragement and enthusiasm in all things, and it is refreshing and uplifting. I am so thankful God brought you into Brenny life and our group of friends so that you and I can grow closer together! I am so thankful for all your hard work on the sewn invites, scrapbook and even the mini dessert shooters. You and Julie are truly a team to be reckoned with!!
{Fashionista Angel}
Angel, thank you so much for stepping in and helping put on such an incredible night! The flowers were breathtaking, the wreaths were super fun but your zeal for all things party planning simply amazes me! The Lord has gifted you immensely in this area and I feel honored that I got to be on the receiving end of that talent! When I look at you, past your amazing style, I see a beautiful woman that can't help but glow with joy for the Lord whose kind words make me feel truly special!
For all those ladies there that night, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Jake and I {& baby Wyatt} are truly blessed to have friends like you. God extends His love to us through the love of those around us, & we felt the love that night! You are all truly special to us & are so excited to have you all come along side us through this CRAZY new journey we are about to go down.
