That's Not A Watermelon Under My Shirt: Surprise Baby Shower at my work!

Friday, my co-workers surprised me with a baby shower. One of my very good friends, Mandy, organized the entire thing with the Leslie, the Assistant Planner, who works in my cube. Mandy and Leslie had a tough job because I have worked in some many different offices since I have been with Belk and they really wanted to make sure that everyone was included. I knew that I would probably have a shower at work, but I honestly had no clue what day it was going to be etc. Mandy told me after the fact that she swore I had known because everyone was coming to her desk to give money for the gifts and none of them realized that I literally sit right outside of Mandy's cube.

Here is how it went down: Around 3:30pm, my buyer said that the vendor we had been working with earlier that day had to show us one last thing. I was like OK and got up and followed her down the hall. However, when we got to the first meeting room (which was not the one my vendor was in earlier) my buyer opened that door. Everyone shouted surprise as I walked in and Mandy was their to capture a picture of my reaction, but it didn't come out that well. The room was full of people that I knew from the Home store area, the office that I worked in when I was an Executive Trainee was in there along with my co-workers from Special Sizes. Leslie had made the cutest cake (pics below) and their was rice crispy treats, peanuts, a veggie tray, chips and drinks. Once I had gotten some cake, everyone else got some snacks and then I opened the gifts (pics below). I got several nice things for the baby and I am truly thankful for great co-workers. Again, another BIG thank you to Mandy and Leslie for throwing this shower for me :)

Cake that Leslie made (it was confetti cake!)
