Surprise Shower

Greg said, "Nobody wants to hear about that." When I told him I was going to blog about the surprise shower for Roda. That's a man for you!


Roda worked for the company that my family part-owns and runs. She brought us up to date on back-logged scanning, which needed to be done and in the process was able to get to know the office staff. Everyone wanted to contribute to a gift and cake to celebrate their upcoming ceremony.

We didn't tell Roda about the shower, just that we had some more paperwork to scan. She came in, started working. Kevin (our cousin on Mom's side) also works for the office. He went to pick up the cake while she scanned. I had Rob tell Roda to turn around and took this first picture.

The office staff picked two items from her registry. One was a really nice spice rack and the other item was a pitcher that fits on the door of a refrigerator.

(Attached to the bags in the gift were measuring spoons in the shape of hearts with little saying on them, such as "a cup of love", "dash of patience" and so forth)



The last set of pictures are of Rob feeding Roda the cake. I didn't want to buy a regular cake, because Roda is such a good baker. Instead, we bought icecream cake, something different. She told Rob, "No, that's too big of a piece" at first. They are adorable together!
