We had a whirlwind of a weekend in Iuka last weekend. We had 2 showers--one on Saturday at Rebecca Skinner Gray's house and one on Sunday at Mt. Evergreen UMC. I am so lucky to be from a town like Iuka. I haven't "lived" there (except for summers while I was in college) in 11 years and when we get to Iuka, it feels like I never left. Ryan and I drove to Enterprise, AL Thursday night to break up the trip a little. Ryan's mom, our sister-in-law, Stephanie, and niece, Libby, flew into Birmingham on Friday. How sweet of them to make the trip to Iuka to be at the showers?! A trip to Iuka is not easy or convenient (especially a quick weekend trip) and we soooo appreciate them going out of their way to be there for us at this special time! Ok, I'm not going to ramble on about the showers. But, I really want to thank Lori Beth Rhodes, Rebecca Gray, Brooke Gentsch, Lisa Locke, DD Lambert and Paula Moore for everything they did this weekend! We are so blessed to have friends and family like all of you!
Sweet messages to baby Huntley
Everyone made a prediction...
Some I appreciate, some I don't!! HA!
Everyone picked napkins according to whether they thought the baby would be a boy or girl...
I picked girl...Nikki picked boy
My aunt, Lisa, Nikki, my grandmother, Beebs, me, Kinsley (she got off work early and was able to stop by) and my Mom
Lori Beth (due Feb. 1st), me (Oct. 4) and Erin (due Dec. 7th)
I want to say something cheesy about being best friends and sisters. But, I won't. Nikki and Rebecca have always told us that Big Sisters rule, little sisters drool. Looks like the Big Cousins will rule!!!
When we got back to the lake, I had to get everything back out so Ryan could see. We are soooo blessed! So much good stuff! I just cant wait to use it all!
Shower at Mt. Evergreen (there aren't as many pictures here, mainly because I am NOT very photogenic at the moment :)
Mrs. Huntley was very sweet to get my mother a Grandmother gift.
Me, Stephanie, Mrs. Huntley and Libby
I came home and got everything out for Ryan to see :)
Thank you to everyone!
And just a few more pictures from the weekend:
Hope everyone has a great week!
Wow girl you racked up! Sorry I wasn't able to make the shower Saturday! I will have to get your gift to your mom next time I'm in Iuka.
