But somewhere along the lines I must have done something right.

My friends threw me a surprise 20th birthday party almost 7 years ago and it was amazing. I am reallllly intuitive and I think pretty much impossible to surprise. They had this amazing party and I would have been totally surprised had two of my friend’s not left me in a room with the invitation less then an hour before the party. (They were supposed to be the ones to get me there) That was the one fatal mistake- leaving it up to two stoned boys to be in charge of getting me there.

Anyways, fast forward to today. My sister-in-laws Sarah & Krust and my Cousin & her Hubs John threw Scott and I a little surprise baby shower!! It was so sweet of them! And-Yes, I found out a few hours before the party yet again! How do you surprise that who is unsurprisable!? lol. Maybe someday!

I didn’t expect a shower this time around at all since Hudson’s shower was last November and was literally 70+ WOMEN: not even co-ed! People were ridiculously generous to Hudson and we literally got every item we wanted and more. So, this time I figured we were most likely on our own.

Anyhow it was a perfect contrast. Just our very best friends and this time the boys got to come! It was like 15 people which was great because we got to sit around and chat and hang out. Again though- we were totally spoiled and I seriously have no idea what we have done to deserve such love and awesomeness from people.

Thanks to those of you who planned it and to all of you for doing your best to keep me out of the loop. You literally had me until this morning and I think that’s a feat in itself! I love you guys so much and I cannot thank you enough for both this wonderful shower and for attempting yet again to surprise me! (and Scott.)

We have an amazing group of friends. Most of whom we are lucky enough to also be related to. Our family and support system is beyond anything I could have imagined. Learning of this pregnancy was pretty difficult for me to come to terms with and twins was even harder to wrap my head around. Our family and friends have been so helpful to us. From coming over to hold a fussy Hudson while I shower to bringing us lunch or dinner to building a bedroom for my kids with their bare hands for free. We are total charity cases. But so many wonderful people have been there for us to help with time, energy and generous gifts. We really cannot thank you all enough.

I just really love you all.
