We drove down in the afternoon on Wednesday for dinner at my parent's house that evening. As everyone arrived at the house I had to decide how I wanted to tell everyone our good news. It turned out mom had already told Aunt Kathy and Uncle John. When John came in he gave me a hug and whispered "I hear congratulations are in order". While we were outside eating dinner my mom kinds of spread the word to the cousins Jason, Corie, and Jeff.
My grandfather and his sisters with their spouses were eating inside. After dinner was finished I went in to find an opening to announce the good news. Jim and Bill had both left the table at this point but my grandparents, Helen, and Elsie were still sitting there talking. I waited for a lull in the conversation and announced, "Jesse and I have some exciting news to share . . . we are expecting". Everyone was so excited and grandpa got right up to give me a hug. He teared up as he shared his excitement and congratulations. There was hugs and congratulations all around and I staying inside talking about the estimated due date, and all the other plans to this point.
We joined my grandparents and Great Aunts and Uncles at New Belgium Brewery Thursday afternoon. Everyone (excpet me of course) enjoyed the beer sampling. I really enjoyed the cherry mango sparkling water they had. Thursday night was dinner at Corie and Jason's house which was also very delicious and enjoyable. It turned into a beautiful evening (after a hot day) and we enjoyed sitting outside enjoying each other's company.
We headed back to Denver Friday morning to be around for all Bonnie's festivities. We had a great trip and love getting to see the family. We are so excited for Aunt Kathy and Uncle John to get moved to Colorado this fall.
