Baby Shower

I am trying to bury this post between others that I intend on posting today. I am not an ingrate - I am very grateful for having a shower.

My one and only friend, Rita, here in Carson threw a shower for me yesterday. We the ward member who I sold the house to. It was kinda her way of showing off what she's done to the house too, which I was cool with - then the pressure isn't so much on me to entertain.

The shower was attended by 6 people. 3 of which are nearly complete strangers from church and 3 were people that I am nice to. It wasn't a bad shower at all, considering that I am a total stranger. The company was enjoyable the food was good. Rita and Larisa worked hard at putting it together.

I was disappointed because I had no family and no friends there. It would have made a world of difference if it were in Henderson, where I have friends. I hate being stuck teaching primary for this reason, they called me to primary as soon as I moved in and I haven't got to meet any one else. Our ward doesn't have many enrichment nights or activities.

I have like 3 church friends, and I was sooo disappointed that they didn't show up. I sorta counted on them to come. I am not hurt by who came - but who didn't. Make sense? I am grateful for having had a shower. Don't misread that at all. It would have been different to have more support. Just paints a bleak picture for having support after baby is born too.
