My Cousin’s Baby Shower (3/31/12)

I received an invite to my cousin’s, January’s, baby shower for the end of March. I wanted to go, I hadn’t seen her in years. She lives in South Carolina, too, but we just hadn’t met up yet. This seemed like the perfect time! Well, Pete wouldn’t want to go, but turned out in his favor it was a girl’s only baby shower anyway! So, I asked Pete’s sister, Elizabeth, to join me, since she’s expecting later this year.

My cousin lives about 2.5 – 3 hours from me, and I hadn’t driven that far in quite a while (I think last time I drove long distance was in April 2011 with Pete as the passenger), and so I was nervous. I had Pete give my car an oil change, as it was time and we had another trip the following weekend. While he was doing that, he rotated my car’s tires, and realized I needed new tires. This was Thursday, baby shower was on Saturday!

Well, on Friday, March 30th, I had new awesome tires put on my car! They were *slightly* cheaper than I anticipated, but not cheap. I felt better…and then that night it thunderstormed. And, the rain wasn’t to let up until Saturday afternoon. Joy!

Morning of…I WOKE UP LATE! I mean, I said we were leaving at 10am, and I woke up at 9:50am. Seriously. Panic…I text Elizabeth. I start getting ready. And, here’s where Pete shows how awesome he is! I wanted to go with Elizabeth to Chick-Fil-A for breakfast, but now no time. Well, Pete said he’d got get the breakfast for us! Such a sweetie. He was so set on making sure we had our meals, that he forgot to get his!

All ready and managed to leave around 11am…for a 2pm Baby Shower that was 2.5 – 3 hours away! Amazingly, the rain wasn’t so bad and we didn’t forget anything. Weirdly, traffic sucked on I-20 going there, and I-95 coming back. LOL.

I was glad Elizabeth came with me, because I only know my cousins, and there was A LOT of January’s friends there. Now about my cousins…I got to see January’s mom, Tuesday (my cousin), and five of her sisters – Kelly (& her lil one), Katie, Leah (& her lil one), Jennifer, and Janice, (yep, my cousins)…and later even got to see her youngest brother, Richie (yep my cousin). It was really nice to chat with them, even though it wasn’t for long, due to baby shower festivities. I hadn’t seen January since 2009…Kelly & Katie since 2006, and the rest not since oh my…1998.
