Karen's Baby Shower

One might wonder why I post so much about kids' birthday parties and baby showers. Basically it's what takes up my time these days. And I love it, so don't think I am complaining. It's just the truth. How could it not when I have 20 friends that are pregnant! Yes, I did make a list to see if I really had the number right. I get a phone call at least every other week with a new buddy that is pregnant. It's almost hilarious when you think about it. The Lord has truly blessed the majority of the women in my life. And these aren't friends of friends or acquaintances - these are girls that I either host a shower, go to a shower, or get a nice gift because I am that close to them.

All that to preface that this post is about a shower I was invited to, not hosted. It was nice to be on the other side this time :-) Karen Chang married one of Derek's fellow Rice basketball buddies. Alex still plays ball in Italy, so Karen came home for a short while and in the process had a shower.

4 of these girls went to Rice and all but one is married to a Rice athlete: Martha, Brianna, Karen, Casey, and Courtney

It was great to catch up with these ladies - I always seem to have a conflict when Derek gets together with this group of people. On to the next baby shower, which I am hosting this weekend (I really am not kidding)....
