This past Saturday, JD and I flew out to St. Louis for a very special Co-Ed Baby Shower all in honor of Dipstick. It was awesome! 65 people came! That was super-crazy! We had such a great time getting to see people we haven't seen in so long. Some of these people haven't seen JD since the wedding three years ago, because of his deployment. So, all in all, it was a very quick but fantastic weekend.
Chris and Jodie threw an excellent party, packed with games, food, great weather and a lot of laughter. Paul, my brother-in-law, took a ton of pictures. Thank you, Paul....I had my camera, but only took three. That would have made for a very boring slide show!
Thank you to everyone who came out - some drove three hours to get there...and the gifts..outrageous! Everyone outdid themselves. We can't thank everyone enough.
Below is a slideshow - it runs pretty slowly, so speed it up by clicking many times on the (+) button to view it a little faster.
I'm uber-tired, but it was SO worth the trip. You may have to remind me, though...the next time (God-willing) I am pregnant, I can NOT be on a plane after I've made it past 20 weeks. It was so uncomfortable coming back, it brought me to tears. So, that was Dipstick's last flight in his/her little jacuzzi!!
Oh, one more thing...thanks to Dad for allowing us to bombard your house like we did. It means so much to us.
Love, JD and Rachel .... not real sure why I signed that like a letter!!!
We buy small to medium sized companies.

It was a blast, wish I could have seen the games... too funny. I'm glad you got to come out, it was awesome to see the THREE of you!
thanks to all your comments. I did have a great time!
Carissa - let me know if you get anymore pictures.
Rebecca - I will definitely consider the outlets...could get some good baby stuff. I just have to see how the nursery painting is going by then! :-)

And how come I'm not in any of the pictures from the b-shower??
Storm - you're annoying.
And, that is a great question as to why your butt isn't in any of the pictures - care to post about THAT on your blog? Dipstick will never forget this!
Yeah Yeah Yeah.. it posted twice. Storm - go get a job :)
JoMom and I had a great time seeing allyouall.
If Storm had been there, he would have won the dirty diaper contest.
What is this "Dipstick" thing? If the "other-other" huse is a boy, will he be called "Dippypoo"?
Love
