No Ring

As I wrote earlier Sunday was a busy little day for me. I first had to go to my indoor soccer game; it is the start of a new session. We lost the game to a good team that came down two divisions, clearly they shouldn't have, and I didn't score. I thought my foot would bother me a little more than it actually did during the game too.

I had to leave right away after our game to book it home and get ready for Mo's baby shower that afternoon. I just love babies and baby showers so I was super excited. I picked up Jenster and we headed to Mo's parents for the shower. When we first got there I got a congratulations from Mo's dad on my engagement, which I wasn't expecting, but was very nice. I also got some congrats from Teed's mom and Mo's sister, all of whom wanted to see the ring, but I couldn't produce one. My ring was still at the jeweler, which upset some people who wanted to see the beautiful ring Ando bought me.

The shower was what I was expecting; there were no games which was good. We had a few appetizers and then Mo opened all of her gifts. She didn't get any nipple cream, but we did get her the baby bjorn; I am expecting Teed to wear it all the time. After she was finished we ate lupper and just hung out and talked. Not to worry there was lemonade and tea cookies at the shower. Apparently that is a staple at all baby showers, news to me. Jenster and I tried to keep our convo going, but ran out of things to talk about since it was the third day in a row we had seen each other.

Jenster and I were ready to leave so I could head out to my family function that started at 5pm. First we had to take some of Mo's presents since she got so many and didn't know if she could fit them all in her car. We just took most of the small stuff and left all the heavy things for the pregnant lady to handle. This is how it is supposed to work right?

I then went to my family function, sans Ando, at Molly Malone's up the street. It was a birthday, welcome home from Iraq, Anniversary party, all for different people. Once again I was told a bunch of congratulations, and had no ring to show. I really just had some beers since I already ate and talked with my family. Ando did end up showing up toward the end of the get together for a beer of his own. It wasn't that I didn't invite Ando, he was doing some work related activities throughout the day.

Ando and I are now fighting about where to have the reception. And by the way don't think all the other fights have been resolved because they haven't.
