Yesterday my friend Erika had a baby shower for me. They pulled off a darling western/cowboy theme and lots of people came so that made it lots of fun! I guess most people out there are nicer than me...when I get invitations to things like that I rarely even consider going, even when it is someone I'm really close to. Those types of get-togethers are just so, uh, social and require talking to people and such. I just do much better in small groups I guess. Anyway, apparently the people we invited are not as selfish as me because lots of them showed up! There were several people from my ward, some who used to be in the ward before the boundary change, some who used to be in the ward before the other boundary change, my mom, some from my old job at the book publisher, some from my old job teaching gymnastics, but none from my current job...what does that mean? Does it take a while to recover from me or something? Probably!We spent some time just chatting and eating, then went around the room for introductions, then opened some presents. There was definitely way too much attention on me, that's for sure! Then some of the moms tried to give reassuring advice like "don't worry, when it's your own baby the diapers really don't seem to smell as bad" but the honest moms would shake their heads to let me know my kids' diapers will be just as bad as any other.
Anyway, Charlie gots lots of great gifts. Now he just needs to come on out and enjoy them!
