Blog No. 17: Baby Shower

Today was a day of manual labor, as explained in my previous blog. But it was worth it, seeing as it was for Audrey and John's baby, Lennox.

But still, it had ups and downs.

Meeting with the family. Very interesting. There are awkward moments because the strong family center was my grandmother, who died about a few years ago. The family center would've been inherited by my mother, who doesn't really plan much parties like my grandma did. So when it did come to family gatherings, like my sister's baby shower, everyone's all, "Oh, we should definitely come around more often" or "Man, you sure have grown a lot since I last saw you." Of course I did, I grew facial hair.

That wasn't the only issue. You see, I haven't seen much of John's family either. I've seen John's twin, Ben, and his girlfriend a lot, along with a couple of their usual friends like Sear, Nu, and Austin. But that's it. Maybe I've seen John's mom twice and his father once, but that's it. Plus, there was this period of time where John's parents, to put it simply, did not agree with the match of him and Audrey. To put it bluntly, they called her the devil. No joke. I was treading on foreign waters today. They seemed at ease though, although my mom is very much reading to their actions and whatnot.

Then there were people from Audrey and John's work. They were cool, giggly and bubbly, pretty much like Audrey. I remember Mary Ann was a real sweetheart, especially since she was the one who gave the most. Then there was Brenda, who just ended up talking to me a lot about her birds... *awkward turtle in space*

Audrey loved Kaylah's gift though. She was opening it up and smiled at each particle of clothing when she released them from their tissue coccoons. I got Lennox some piratical shoes, the slip ons like his father wear. Then they got a WHOLE BUNCH of stuff, clothes, blankets, bottle warmers, rockers, etc. She made out like a bandit.

Need to download pictures tomorrow, because I'm sure there's bound to be close to a hundred of them.

Now on to wedding mode! *exasperated moan*
