Surprise Bridal Shower!

My work through me a surprise Bridal Shower on Friday during lunch!

I will start at the beginning because I had NO clue!

On Wednesday afternoon my peer coach Emily tells me that we are having a baby shower for another co-worker Nicole who is having  a baby girl (her due date is actually my wedding day). I was a little surprised and confused I had not been informed about this baby shower before then but I was hoping it was because I was always in training.

So Thursday night I leave work and get Nicole her baby shower gift. I went to Dillards and I really was not impressed with their baby clothes selection. There were a few cute things but not really. I was able to find 3 really cute outfits on sale. I got 3 month onesies, a set of 6 month clothes that would be two outfits and a 9 month outfit. I always try to get larger clothes figuring the Mom to be and other guests will get her plenty of the smaller clothes and I think the Mom to be should get some larger clothes to make it easier for her when the child grows.

So Friday comes and I go to class and then it is time for lunch. So I head out to meet my pod and we walk to one of the break room and I see everything decorated! I notice it was divided between sections...one pink and one purple but I didn't think anything of it. Well Emily tells me that the shower is also for me! I was so surprised! There was sandwiches, chicken, guacamole, chips, salsa and chocolate cake bars.

They even got me gifts!

Carol, a coworker, made us this towel cake!

My friend Ginger gave me these tea towels and utensils!

The pod as a whole got us a gift card to Walmart :) I was so surprised and am so grateful to them. It did not occur to me that they would do this. They are so kind and it did not go unnoticed.
