Last night, I was genuinely surprised by a Valentine's Baby Shower at our friends' John and Jen's house. It was a wonderful, intimate dinner party of nine, and it was a true shock to me (who thought we were having a "the-men-make-the-dinner" evening with just the hosts of the party). Instead, when I walked up their stairs, I saw several friends who don't even know John and Jen (one of whom all the way from California)! My brain did a little back up, and I thought, "WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?!?!"
It was wonderful, and even though few at the table knew one another, the whole group laughed together and enjoyed the food, drinks, and company for hours.
Tee Jay and I didn't head home until 2:15AM - our bellies heavy and our hearts full of the love surrounding us. We may be far from home and our families, but we are extremely fortunate to have folks who care about us here in PA/NJ. Thank you, thank you, to everyone who celebrated us last night - and to our generous hosts (John and Jen, you've outdone yourselves once again!). We are so blessed!
