So, our friends invited us for dinner yesterday. All of our friends here in town do reserve an evening with us these days seeing that we're moving away. But yesterday was different: When we showed up for "dinner" yesterday at this fine couple's house, there were some 25 other guests there, too. Some friends, Nani's cousin that lives here in Cinti and some of Nani's former co-workers had all gathered at our friend's house last night. Nani stepped through the door and "SURPRISE" - they had a Baby Shower for her.

This was entirely the idea of this friend of ours who felt so bad that Nani may not have a Baby Shower since we will be in a new city where we don't really know many (if any) people. I was part of the planning but Nani had absolutely no idea beforehand that yesterday night was not just a dinner invitation. It was beautiful and it made Nani the happiest mom-to-be last night. Wow, there are just genuinely nice people out there. :D

Reinhard that was really wonderful of them, it is without a doubt that you are both going to be missed when you move to sunny Florida, I'll bet Nani was in tears :yes:

Life is like a challenge... Pursue it.

Life is like a sacrifice... Offer it.

Life is love... Enjoy it.

I would move to FL in a heartbeat, but we are stuck in Manhattan due to my husbands job here! I totally hate Manhattan so we are moving outside mid of July.. can't wait! :dance: My husband's commute will take ca. 35 min but it is totally worth it!

Good luck with the move!
