Andrew's mom, Julie recently took a trip to her dad's house (Lil' Papa) in Dallas, Texas. Lil' Papa is 84 years old and still gets around like he is 20, but nevertheless Julie and her sister Martha were on a mission to clean Lil' Papa's house down to the smallest base board. I received a call from Julie last week stating that she was having our first wedding shower..... without us present! I WAS SO EXCITED!!!! Lil' Papa was gracious enough to give us a lot of kitchen appliances that he no longer uses. When Julie arrived she had a couple of tupperware containers full of stuff with our names in marker on the top... EXCITING, right? I thought so!!!
We were surprised to find boxes full of casserole dishes, bread pans, cookie sheets, vases, waffle makers, crock-pots, deep fryer/steamer, salt/pepper shakers, and bowls. Andrew also was excited to see that his Lil' Papa had sent him a hammer that had been his dads and dishes that had been his moms. Andrew and I could not be more thrilled to be trusted enough to receive family heirlooms. We are so blessed to have his Lil' Papa in our lives and his godly wisdom! We enjoyed our first shower more than anyone will know and will be forever grateful to Lil' Papa, Julie, and Martha... WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!
