Shower in a Box

Last week, I received a package in the mail. I hadn't ordered anything online recently, so I had no clue as to what it could have been. Then, I saw the return address label. It read...
"GNO Friends!" I was filled with excitement as I began to open it.

If you have been reading this blog for any length of time, then you know that a group of us "bloggers" formed a real life friendship about 2 years ago. I love these girls to pieces and have been so beyond blessed by each one of their friendships. Yes, we met in a crazy way, and many people do not quite understand it. That's okay, though. It blows my mind sometimes, too. :) I love that we are so real with one another, that we have laughed together, cried together, prayed together, seen each other through many pregnancies and hard, hard times and so much more. I love that they each love the Lord! I love that most of us are going through the exact same stages right now with our families, kids, and just plain life. These girls just get it!

Anyway...when I first opened the box, there was this precious poem...

Underneath the card, was a Shower in a Box for me and my sweet baby boy! How fun is that?! They TOTALLY surprised me!!! Oh, I was in tears!

From the bottom of my heart, I could never thank them enough! These were the first gifts that I have been given for this baby boy! So fun!! I was so thankful for all the wonderful clothes, gifts cards, and mommy treats; but even more thankful that God crossed all of our paths and these incredible friendships have formed! Thank you, ladies, for everything! I love you all dearly!!
