Surprise Young Life Baby Shower







Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Marin- I think it hit 80 degrees- Spring is here! Guy and I started the day with the super exciting task of cleaning out the entire garage. Let's just say Guy is a trooper with all the things I want to do pre-baby...As we finished up, covered in dust-bunnies, Guy suggested we clean up and go have a nice lunch in downtown San Rafael. I should have been suspicious when he casually suggested I wear a sundress, but I did think it would be fun to wear something besides my pregnancy uniform of yoga pants. We headed to a nice lunch outside on 4th Street and I started making more plans for our afternoon. Guy then suggested that we take a walk down the street to "enjoy the day". Before I knew it, 2 of our Young Life girls appear out of nowhere, wearing black jackets, sunglasses and red lipstick- and looking very serious- and led me into the waiting car of our fearless YL leader, Chrissy. It was hysterical- they acted like Secret Agents and took me to our committee chair's house where there was a surprise Baby Shower planned! It was amazing- there were 8 YL girls, 5 YL committee women and a few staff friends from SF and Sonoma. What a fabulous afternoon! I was overwhelmed by all that they had planned and we were blessed with more generous gifts for baby Avery. We are loved!
