I threw my FIRST Baby Shower!

Hopefully not my last too. It was so fun planning and carrying it out, but first, a little background...

Can you hold this?

Three and half years ago, I transferred Targets when I was promoted as one of the Team Leaders in the clothing area (they had three back then). I was terrified of everyone and I knew that not many people trusted me because my boss, who got me the job was not a very nice person and everyone assumed she and I were extremely close. One of the other team leaders was named Rachelle and I could tell how suspicious she was of me so we didn't really interact much. Anyway, to make a long story short, my boss was transferred and people actually started talking to me and trying to get to know me.
Rachelle and I started working together more since her school schedule forced her to work certain days and started to become friends. As time went on, I grew to absolutely love this girl.

She is so kind to everyone and tries to see the positive side of things. Even when she was mad, she would just make me laugh because she was so out of her normal character that it would surprise me. She always was so silly and happy that I never really was mad when I would work with her.

She used to always joke about how bad of a mom she would be and say silly things about putting NyQuil in her babies bottles, or what-not. Then.... she got knocked up last summer. Her and her husband are going to be great parents because they have the caring gene and will always be incredible to their children.
Rachelle is due on April 6th which is quite a significant date, the LDS church had their first meeting this day and my sister, Jocelyn, and Jesus (No relation... haha) were born this day. I am so excited for her! Her compassion and humor are just perfect to raise the fruit of her loins.

I decided to throw her a baby shower for her with all of her Target friends even though she is no longer at our store.

I felt left out.

I had to enlist the help of my friend, Krissy because I was not quite sure about what to do. I guess I should say that Krissy threw it because she knew everything and planned most of it.
It was an open house at another coworkers apartment (which is gorgeous, Chelsea) and Krissy made the best kool-aid, cake, and rice krispies. I contributed sandwiches, fruit, and.... entertainment?
I wish I had taken a picture of the super cute banner that Krissy had made. It kept falling but was adorable anyway.
Everyone who had kids brought them and I had so much fun playing with them and holding them. I hate being baby hungry. I just need to borrow someone's for like three days then I'm sure I will be good. Anyway, I think that Rachelle enjoyed it and I know that I did!
I freaking love Rachelle and know that she is going to be an awesome mom.
