the shower

I was lucky enough to be thrown two baby showers to celebrate our little girl. One held in June in Utah by my mama, and the other held a couple weeks ago here in California by my best gal(s) Sarah, and 

Mary Claire (who is responsible for the following gorgeous photos + the pretty dress I got to wear that day).

I am blown away with how beautiful it turned out. I could not have pictured a more perfect set up. It was a brunch party, complete with: donuts, donut holes for the thieving little ones, assorted french macrons, my mom's delicious chicken salad croissant sandwiches, strawberry and watermelon skewers, and homemade lemonade. It was a tiny get together of those that I love. It was comfortable. And I felt so incredibly special. Sarah made a complete reality of my vision, and I love her so much for it.

Thank you, ladies. One-hundred fold.

As I am nearing the end of this pregnancy, my cup runneth over. I have never know such depth of love - for not only the life that was hand sewn inside of me by God himself; but love for my Father, love for my Savior, love for my body, my husband, my family, and those friends that have lifted me up along the way. I have been surrounded by unwavering support during every single step. I feel so privileged to be so close to bringing new life into this world, this new person that is responsible for all of this love. Next time I write in this space, I may just be introducing my daughter (fingers crossed that is the case!). What a journey the past ten months has been. My heart is so ready for the next step.

 Until then.
