On Giving Thanks

This Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for. I have an amazing husband, family, friends, and co-workers!

A couple weeks ago, my staff surprised me a baby shower at work! When one of them let it slip that morning that there was a surprise shower taking place for me that afternoon, I played cool and just assumed it would be the ladies in my department, maybe a couple people from the front desk.

But at one o'clock when I entered Meeting Suite 4, the lights turned on and it seemed half the hotel was there shouting surprise! My coworkers had a huge turn out in response to the departmental invitations that my lovely PBX ladies had sent out. Stupid me didn't bring my camera, but one of the ladies bought a disposable for the shower and I haven't had time to go to the store and do the old school one hour film developing. I tried last week at Target, but their photo center was closed unless you were using the automated kiosk. I guess there really isn't much of a need for a real person anymore. Anyway, back to the shower. My ladies went all out on the food and decorations and everyone was extremely generous in their gifts. I am very thankful! I will post pics as soon as I can get them printed and then scanned.

This past weekend the Jaquez side of the family threw Baby Rhina a similarly fabulous shower! So many cute rhino details!


Berto, Baby Rhina, and I are so grateful and blessed to have all of these people's love and support.

8.5 weeks to go! Don't get too comfortable in there little Rhina! I mean, I know it's all about you and stuff, but it would really work out better for my work schedule if you could move things along and get here around 37-38 weeks. So if you could go ahead and plan on that, that would really put my Thanks-o-Meter over the top...Thanks!

Mom-Mobile

Last week we traded in my cute 2 door Honda Civic for something more Baby Rhina friendly. I feel like such a soccer mom! This Honda CRV was used but with only 26k miles and 1 previous owner. I love all the space and storage, but mostly that I won't have to flip my seat back and forth just to get Baby Rhina in and out of her car seat.



The pictures aren't the best, but I've been leaving for work and getting home in the dark, so these pictures taken in the hotel's parking garage will have to do. I'm looking forward to Daylight Savings this weekend, so I'll get another couple weeks of seeing daylight on weekdays.
