The Steely's: An Intimate Event...

So as most of you know, my best Jacksonville girls, Krystal and Racine were planning on throwing me a shower this past weekend. I sent out invites to our additional military family here in Florida and to some of my co-workers. Hearing through the rumor mill at work that they are planning on throwing me a surprise lunch shower at sometime in the next five weeks I did not expect a lot of my co-workers to attend. And about three people that I invited were also going out of town. Most of my military girls had rsvp'd to the event, and me wanting to make it a co-ed shower, it would make it have just a small get together.

But unfortunately, the turn out turned to be smaller than we had ever expected. I think the hosts were more upset than I was, and already being blessed to have had a big shower in Virginia, as well as being showered with gifts throughout my whole pregnancy. I did not take anything to heart. I love my best friends and was just happy to get to hang out with them two days in a row! (The day before we went to lunch together, it had been forever since all three of us had been together all at once...)

As you know, I tend to always try and air on the lighter side of things and decided we could turn it into an old fashioned mini party like we used to have almost every weekend prior to my pregnancy. I told the girls to make them some cocktails and break out the Wii! Scott even got along in the action. We ran back to our place for a few minutes, grabbed my Michael Jackson dance game, some extra remotes, and headed back to Ray's.

The girls couldn't believe that I was so good at the dance game and with being almost nine months pregnant they also thought it was hilarious! Mostly because they said from the back I don't look preggo at all and then I turn to the side and it's like BAM! Belly! When I did some of the moves they were like, "Watch out! Those are giving birth movements!" Next was karaoke which was also a blast. And yes, Scott even took part in this as well. All in all I couldn't of asked for a better night with GREAT people surrounding Lily, Scott and myself.

Here are a few pictures that we took:
