Another Huge Thank You!

There have been a few times in my life when the generosity shown to me and/or my family has overwhelmed me.  This has to be one of those times.

Emily just got back from her trip out to Nebraska for her work trip and to visit her family.  While she was out there, her family threw her another baby shower.  As Em started unpacking from her trip she showed me item after item that she received as gifts from this trip.  I'm not sure what Emily was thinking as she was showing me these items because I didn't say much, but I think I was truly speechless.  

I just remember seeing different items coming out of a suitcase and me thinking to myself, "Wow! I wouldn't have thought of buying that.  That would be handy.", or "That is really cute."  (And I don't use the word "cute" very often at all.)

Emily's sisters (Ang & Gen) and her mom & dad deserve a big thank you from me.  They really made Em's day (if not week, month, or longer).  It really means a lot to me that so much love was shown to my wife and I by you all.  Everyone that was there really came through in a big way and made her (and me) feel so special. 

Thank you to all of you!!!

Here is a picture I took a just a few of the items that we received as gifts from this trip.  (If you don't see a gift from you, I apologize.  Blame me....not Emily.  I just took several items in hand for the picture.  We received many more gifts than this.  (Please note that even the blankets underneath were gifts.)

Thinking back on the beginning of this journey (of pregnancy), I remember thinking to myself that I need to start saving a lot more than I already have been doing because of all of the costs of new baby.  I thought that because we lived so far away now and because most of our friends live in different states that baby showers probably would not be possible.  Boy, was I wrong. 

Thank you all for not only the great baby stuff, but for making Em & I feel so loved.  Thank you.
