Celebrating Jayden Talon Shuler - Part I

On Sunday, April 6th, we had a baby shower in Nahunta and boy did we get spoiled rotten with love!  Rance and I only had ONE request for this baby shower and I know it stressed some people out quite a bit but we were thankful our wish was granted.  Considering the fact that we live on the other side of North Carolina - the few trips we do make out east are generally reserved to spend quality time with my family.  It's hard to 'fit' time in to see others when the trips are short.  Therefore, we asked that people bring their gifts unwrapped (or however they wished) so that Rance and I could spend the entire 2 hour shower talking to everyone vs. opening gifts and getting no personal time with people.  THIS WAS SUCH A GIFT TO MY HEART.  Being free to enjoy people I do not get to see or talk to much was a far greater blessing than I can explain.  Not to mention, so many people traveled over an hour away and I would have been crushed if I did not get to talk to each one of them. 

After the shower was over, Rance and I were able to enjoy looking at each gift (in no rush) instead of wishing we could be fellowshipping with family & friends. 

Shower theme:  BLESS THE NEST!
