Surprise Shower

Yesterday I had a late lunch with sweet Meredith - one of the girls in our young couples group at church. As I was leaving McAllister's to head back to work (around 1:35) I got a call from Levi. He asked about my day, what I was doing, and kept me occupied for the 3 minute drive back to my office. As I pulled in I saw a white Honda in the parking lot that looked suspiciously like Levi's...

"wait, where are you?"
"um, at home."
"oh, weird, there's a car in my office parking lot that looks just like yours. I thought you were trying to pull a fast one on me."
"Ha - well, have a great day."

We hung up as I walked in the side door at my office, where I ran into Tami - who informed me that there was a meeting going on in the conference room. "Oh?", I said, continuing to sit down. "Like, a team meeting that you're supposed to be in...". Ah - oops!

So, I obliviously follow Tami into the conference room to find it FULL of balloons, decorations, flowers, gifts, cake, punch, and my coworkers. And Levi (sneaky, sneaky). I was shocked. My coworkers had planned this whole, huge surprise shower, gotten everything in the door right past me, and included Levi without me having the slightest idea. Even when I 'thought' I saw Levi's car, and Tami basically had to spell it out for me that I was supposed to be in the conference room, I didn't put it together.

Not only was the surprise so thoughtful and fun, but my coworkers showered us with so many wonderful gifts that we are overwhelmed. The generosity of my company and the incredible people that I work with is such an amazing blessing - I hope they all know how truly appreciated they are!

I know that a lot of people had a part in making this shower such a treat for us, but an extra thank you to Krysten and Tami - you girls completely spoil me.
