Baby Shower Day July 26th

It started out calm, we had breakfast, just like a normal day......and then....... We had a faucet we needed to change out in the half bath downstairs. Ila volunteered Robert for the job due to his previous experience as a maintenance man while going to BYU. He began the project at about 10:00a.m. I stopped him while still reading the directions and asked several times, if everyone was sure this was not going to be a difficult project as we had about 30 people coming and that would be the bathroom of convenience. No big deal well get it done, was the reply.
Well as we've seen in home ownership projects, nothing is quite what it seams.
The next thing i know the whole sink has to come out, but wait it's stuck, not for long Ryan to the rescue...oops now its in two pieces. Now we have a bathroom with no sink and the shower starts in about 2hrs. To top it all off the temperature is rising. An unusual heat wave is passing though Oregon and our house has no AC. Stressful? Just a little bit. To make a long story short, we went to the store bought a new sink, and Robert finished the installation about 5 min before the party started (no joke)So It's about 3:15 the Baby Shower is set to start at 3:30 and Tanya and Angie(the girls throwing the shower aren't here, there is no decorations, I have no idea what the food situation is, or what the plan is for the entire party. Thank goodness, Angie arrived in time we all hurried with the decorations, and food table and everything was ready when the guests started to arrive. Funny how everything just comes together. The party was a huge success. Everyone had a great time. we payed a couple of games, ate, opened presents, (even Lilly and Suni got a few from Aunt Carly,) and had a lot of great conversation. Several of our new neighbors came, so it was a great opportunity to talk with them, and with the portable AC unit we kept in the living room, it wasn't even THAT hot. Thank you so much to Tanya and Angie for throwing us such a wonderful party. It was definitely a day that started out rough and ended better than any of us could have imagined. It was Perfect!
