FUN!!!!

The past month has been so much fun- tons of celebrating the twins expected arrival!! We are so blessed to have so many friends and family support us and share in the excitement. This is a long post to catch up on all the happenings....

I finished up work on July 10, and Ryan threw me a little "retirement" party at home that night. I was surprised to come home from my last day to balloons, food and friends. My cake said "Congratulations on your NEW Job!" It was such a nice surprise to celebrate the 10 years of my career.

That same weekend, my girlfriends from work through me a shower- at my favorite local restaurant, Brio. It was a perfect send off from work too since I got to see so many people I have worked with over the last 5 years here.

Ryan's sister, Danielle, her husband, Rob, and the kids, Jack and Emmy drove in all the way from Florida to spend the week with us. It was great to have the time with them and get a good glimpse of our home in the future with kiddos! We are so thankful they came all that way!

Then my girlfriends through me a fabulous shower for our group of girls in Dallas at the Stoneleigh hotel. They themed the shower "Dana's favorite things" and hit ALL my favorite- foods, desserts, flowers and even Brent George Gaudin he guitar player! The setting was gorgeous - right out of a magazine. They outdid themselves! Oh and there was the "minor" detail of tiny gucci purses from Italy for the girls. Did I mention my Mom was just in Italy???

One more big surprise, Meredith flew in from MD for the weekend and brought "my favorite cookies" that she makes. I can't believe she came between a 6 mo old baby, working full time and an always busy social schedule.

We have been SPOILED by all the fun, love and support! It was the most fun 2 months celebrating in NJ and TX all of the showers and changes. I can't even imagine how it will be when the girls actually arrive. My heart is so overwhelmed and full.
