Surprise Shower 11-17-08

Never in my life has anyone ever really surprised me. Sure I have gotten a few gifts that I didn't know about here & there, but nothing big! My parents tried to surprise me with a car for my 16th birthday & I found out about it & no one has ever thrown me a surprise party for any reason....UNTIL LAST NIGHT...a total surprise to Michael & I both!! For those of you that don't know, we live right outside of the city limits & are in a volunteer fire district. Michael has volunteered for the fire department since we moved out here in 2005 & absolutely loves it! I have to brag a little bit: his first year on the department, he was nominated & won 'Firefighter of the Year'! What an accomplishment!! They have meetings every other Monday and last night was one of their meetings. He left like normal & my parents called to see if I would like to go get ice cream with them since Michael wasn't going to be home...how can a pregnant girl pass up some ice cream, so off we went to Braum's, or so I thought! Let me just say, I did nothing yesterday except lay on the couch & sleep, so that means I had on no makeup & looked like I just crawled out of bed!!! I did throw on some jeans & a hat because I figured we would go in to get ice cream, but I looked horrible! Michael called right as we were walking out of the house to see if I could drop off a set of keys to the fire department on our way (which is right down the street from our house). I was hesitant because I didn't want to walk in their meeting looking like I looked. He assured me he would be right inside the door to get the keys! WRONG... I opened the door to cameras & people yelling surprise!!! Can you say total humiliation??? Michael had been surprised too & knew I was going to be embarrassed about the way I looked, but what could he have done at that point?? It was wonderful! All the members of the fire department & their husbands & wives were all there to celebrate Cooper & Hadley! We got showered again with some wonderful gifts & great food! They had the cutest games & decorations!! Thank you so much White Bluff/Rye Hill Fire Department...you guys are awesome & you got us good!!!
