The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Baby Shower
The year I graduated with my bachelors degree I met an angel. She
actually turned out to be married to a friend and co-worker of mine and
was actually quite human....but besides all those facts, she was an
angel to me. I was doing my student teaching in my last quarter of my
Elementary Education degree. I was in a classroom which was with a
teacher that, how shall we say, was COMPLETELY different then myself. It
was a rough quarter. "A" was in the classroom next door also doing her
student teaching. Having her there saved me. We have been fast friends
every since.
"A" is a
brilliant combination of creativity, eclectic ideas, homemade genius,
and a dazzling smile. She is the most creative person I know. She sees the
possibilities in old chairs and broken down mirrors, making them into
fabulous parts of a bigger picture.
Well, she and her husband are expecting their first baby. It was my
pleasure, therefore, with my Marmie as my partner, to have a baby shower
honoring her and her baby boy.

Oh my goodness - the effort you and your Mum have put into this baby shower! I expect that day will stay with your friend forever. Absolutely beautiful and meaning touches to everything you added. Being a teacher myself, I love how you asked people to bring along their favourite stories. Just lovely. I don't know where you're at right now in trying to bring home someone into your family, so I hope this doesn't offend, but thank you for putting out the love even if it's hurting alot on the inside. In almost all cases, that sort of gift tends to comes back to you.
