My Journey: 2015 Jubilee by the Sea and woman's ministry baby shower

I know I am about a month late with the Pismo jazz festival update but I have been so busy with work, dentist appointments, and obgyn appointments. And I also have been sleeping a bit more. Most may know and most may not know I am now 7 months pregnant with a baby boy and I was blessed by the woman's ministry of CEFC. They threw me a baby shower on the 8th of November. However, this baby shower was not only for me because there are two others in the church body who are having baby boys as well so the baby shower was also for them and it was the best baby shower ever and it was the neatest way to do a baby shower. But, first I am gonna talk about the Jubilee by the Sea. So on Friday October 23rd we left Fresno really early and got to my parents house around about 9:30 am and at 11:15 am we went and we watched Jeff Barnhart play his set and then after that set we sold for Ivory and Gold in the Seacrest banquet hall (which is the old Marie Calendars). Then at 1:45 pm which was right after Ivory and Gold we sold for Swing Nola (Swing Nola was the members of Blue Street who were already there and since Sherri was in South Africa for work they did not have Blue Renditions. Hopefully, next year they have Blue Renditions). Then at 3 pm we went and we saw Draga, Tatrow, Cavera, Coots, and Leyland play their set. At that set Katie Cavera sang the song "Angry" just for me. It brought back so many memories and I enjoyed it so much. Then at 4:15 pm we went to the Seacrest banquet room to watch Danny Coots play with Brian Holland. Then we went to St, Anthony's Lu's Landing at 5:30 pm and sold cds for Swing Nola. Then right after that set Dave, Matty, Rick, Kevin, Alana and Kevin and Alana's kids went to Pismo's Fish and Chips for dinner. It was such a blessing to hang out with them and it was so much fun. I always enjoy everything that anyone in Blue Street does for us. After dinner James and I went to the Vet's Hall and we watched Cornet Chop Suey's last set. Then on Saturday October 24th at 11:30 am we went to Lu's Landing and we watched Scala's Rhythm Jesters (which was a really good band... Pismo was the first time we heard them play). Then after they played we stayed and watched Jeff Barnhart play with the Red Skunks and then we watched Cornet Chop Suey play. After Cornet Chop Suey we went to the Seacrest Banquet Room at 3:15 pm and we sold cds for Ivory and Gold and then at 4:30 pm we went to Turk's Place and we watched the Midri Brothers play and after that set we sold cds for Blue Street. Then at 7 pm we went to the Vet's Hall and watched High Sierra play and then at 8:15 pm we went to Addie's Street and watched the Au Brothers play. Then at 9:30 pm we went to the Seacrest banquet room and sold for Blue Street. The 9:30 set was their last set that night so it was their request set and it was the set they usually get crazy at. I always enjoy watching what the boys of Blue Street can pull up their sleeves. Then on Sunday October 25th we started our day at 9 am selling cds for Blue Street's gospel set.Then at 10:15 am we went to the Vet's Hall and watched Jeff Barnhart play with the Midri Brothers and then at 11:30 am we went to Addie's and we watched Cornet Chop Suey and then after that set we went to the Seacrest banquet room and we sold cds for Ivory and Gold. After Ivory and Gold we stayed and we watched Jeff, Larry, and Bob play the last set of the Seacrest banquet hall. The highlights of this festival was Jeff being so amazed at how skinny I looked for being 6 months pregnant at the time, eating dinner with some of the Blue Street members, Katie singing angry for me, Jeff and Anne giving us a gift for our son, the gospel set for Blue Street, the last set for Blue Street on Saturday, the inspirational set for Ivory and Gold, and of course getting my new cds (I love them all). Then on October 26th James and I meet with some good friends for a bit and on October 27th we celebrated our 5th anniversary, We went to Toledo's for dinner that night. On October 28th I met with Michelle to talk about the baby shower and a week before the baby shower I talked to Paula because she was preparing a devotional. Then on Halloween we went to the Lite the Night at our church. On November 8th we had the progressive lunch baby shower right after church. We all met in room 111 and then we headed to the houses. The first house was Michelle's house and that is where we had soups and of course Paula gave my devotional there. Then we headed to Tammy's house and we had sandwiches there and that is where Cricket gave the devotional for Alyse and then the last house we went to was Brittany's house where we had dessert and Jerre gave the devotional there for Naomi. The woman's ministry blessed James and I with a car seat stroller combo and we are so blessed that after our son is here we will have a lot of help from our church family. Thank you so much everyone. Then on November 10th right after I got off work Sheila picked me up and we went James and Robert at the Savemart Center for Winter Jam. We had such a blast. Malcolm was moving around while the music played but he moved so much when Family Force Five and Switchfoot played. He seemed to like the heavier music a lot more. Malcolm moved a lot at the jazz festival as well. I of course had to get up early the next day (November 11th) and be at work at 7:30 am but I got off at 1:30 pm so I was able to come home and nap (at least until we had the inspection that day). Like I said I have been busy with appointments as well. I had a dentist appointment on the 16th and the dentist told me once baby boy is here then they can start working on fixing my front teeth which makes me so excited. I can't wait to have my beautiful smile back. Then yesterday I had an Obgyn appointment and so far everything looks good. Baby boy is measuring right and his heartrate was around 150 and he made his mommy gain 14 pounds this month which is a huge jump in what I was last month. If everything goes right my maternity leave will start January 6th.
