Gap #6: Georgia Baby Shower

On Wednesday, July 9th we visited our former church, Bright Star UMC in Douglasville, Georgia. It was so nice to be back! We were able to visit with many good friends, although being there only one evening was not enough time and we felt so rushed. We were glad we could be there for Wednesday Night Supper. Following supper, we were able to show pictures and talk a little about our experience in Guatemala. It is especially neat to talk about Guatemala there because our church has made two trips to NLCH and several people sponsor children at the Home. Therefore, people are actually interested in hearing about it, not just pretending to be interested. :)

Following the presentation which was held in the theater building, our friend Tim Plumley came up on the stage and said they had a surprise for us. The curtains on the stage opened and behind them they had beautifully and elaborately decorated for a cowboy themed baby shower. We were blown away! They went to such trouble for us. I think that the cake was the neatest cake that I have ever seen in my life. Texans are very proud of their state, so in honor of Daniel and our move to Texas, the cake was in the shape of Texas and decorated like the Texas flag. I was so impressed! They did an amazing job! I think Tim, Katie and Kim could make a lot of money selling those here in Texas!
They even had a whole theater set arranged with a little house labeled "Harris Ranch" and a rocking chair out front. Thanks to everyone who made that such a special night for us!
