My fingers are crossed!!!

I could never ask for a better woman as my sister in law. I was very scared of allowing another sister n law or brother in law into my heart after getting attached to the my brothers ex wife and my sisters ex husband. I always seemed to be the other for them to take things out on after the divorce. Although I am not a big fan of my new brother in law, I completely love my sister in law and her little girl who is most definately my new niece :) I have a big spot for both of them in my heart.

As many of you know my brother met his wife over seas while he was in Guam. He came home at the end of October, actually had 2 halloweens, one in Guam before he left and one in Hawaii on his way home. After he got home he sent for her and she was here the first week of December. She went back and got her daughter a little while after settling everything down around here, although it was very hard for her to leave her there. Most of you know that they are married and expecting a little boy, little Bradley Eyan, in October.

Not long after she got over here, he was offered a job in Tampa at the base and he accepted. Not only would he be closer to us and be living right there at the beach, but he would be closer to his little girl who lives near me. It was an offer he couldnt turn down. Better pay and 5 hours away from home compared to 11. So now they are in the middle of moving and Joyce, his wife,and Vianne will be spending much of August with us while he wraps things up at the base where he works now and begins things at his new base. We have decided that she probably wont be able to do much traveling in September and that Bradley may even come in September, so we are going to give her a shower in August.

I have been having such a wonderful time planning this shower. I really should become a professional party planner. I have so much fun putting this stuff together.

Sadly though, she doesnt have any friends over here. All we have is my little family on my moms side and my dads side never comes around and I want to make this shower so worthwhile for her. I hope I can gather some people up to come and make this shower everything I want it to be for her. They need everything. Neither has anything left over from their first child, which both have a little girl. And Bradley is going to need EVERYTHING. I'm hoping this shower helps them a lot.

Please pray that this shower goes well for them and that they get most of what they need. My fingers are crossed!
