Sundae Shower

Today I realized just how much I'm going to miss my church family here in Greensboro. Today was my last Sunday for awhile there. Thankfully we'll be visiting home at least once a month to check up on momma :o) Our choir sang a song this morning about how God is in that place. Never have I been to a church in which I've felt God or even just seen Him move in others, like I have at my church. All the churches Andy and I have visited in Cary...God just isn't there. I felt ridiculous because before the words to the song even started I started crying and I couldn't stop until it was over. I'm really going to miss that place and I can still only continue to pray that God would leas us to a place that we can grow and give back to with a community nearby.

I've become really close to the associate pastor and his wife over the past couple of years and they were so sweet to throw Andy and I a wedding shower today. My mom helped to, but Jennifer, thanks again for everything. We can't even begin to tell you how much we appreciated it. Anyway, it was so fun to just hang out in a relaxed setting and fellowship. There were ADORABLE yellow and orange umbrellas (hence the "shower") hanging from the ceiling, lots of ice cream and tons of toppings and yummy carrot cupcakes Jennifer made all by herself (if you are reading this, GREAT JOB!). There were even cute M&M's with our names on them in yellow and orange (we may take a few bags to the reception with us for a little more decor). Anyway, it was so sweet of them. I think the funniest thing was this awesome older couple in our church handed us this mystery gift, we couldn't figure out what it was, but when we opened it up it was this really nice serving tray with a LOT of cleaning supplies. I guess they must think we are messy. ;o)

Anyway, I am so greatful for my church and all the amazing things they have done for me and my family. If anyone from Clifton Road is reading this...you all will be missed...

Here are some pictures of the wonderful shower...
