Majenta's Scrapbook: Your Second Baby Shower

Planning of Baby Shower

This baby shower was for all of Mom's friends and co-workers in Salem, OR. It was actually really funny about the date that I chose for our baby shower. My friend and co-worker Malissa Feregrino wanted to put my baby shower together. I picked this weekend and made sure that there was nothing happening on that day before we set the date. I told her March 29th and so we sent out the invitations. As soon as I had done that I was talking on the phone with my friend Angie Perry about the baby shower. She sked how work was going and I told her fine. She asked if I was doing any traveling any time soon for work because I do that sometimes to go and train dental fofices. I said actually I am leaving for Syracuse, New York on Thurs. March 27th and then it hit me. I was going to be flying back to Salem from New York on the day of my baby shower. I was great planning on my part. I did not want to send out another inviation saying it is on a different day because then I believe people would get confused. I found out that I would be flying into Portland at 2:50pm on that day. My baby shower was scheduled at 4:00pm. It is about a 45-60 minute drive from the airport to Salem. I decided that i would be fine. Son the day of my baby shower I had been traveling for about 12 hours then drove and hour to my friend Malissa's house and had the baby shower. It was fine I was not tired until later. That is the story about how the baby shower came together.

My friend Malissa made tamales for everyone because she loves to cook and she made a HUGE bowl of guacomole that was wonderful we had the baby shower a her house.
