My BFF (Shawna of styleberryBLOG.com) posted on her blog today with a sneak peak of our Maternity Shoot last Friday night.

The pic to the left is us at my shower….more to come!

WARNING: This post may make you cry….it did me…and her……

Friendships with girlfriends are such special things, when you find the real thing!

They are hard to find, hard to keep, hard to trust!  True friendships with woman are SO valuable and SO few and far between.

I am so thankful for my friends (I know….broken record talking about my blessings)!

I think she said it better than I could ever have said it….so check out her post!!

For the record….I think our little “tiff” in 2004 was my fault!

I will have more pics to share from the shower and shoot soon…as soon as styleberry sends them to me! (hint, hint)

Tell me about your best girlfriend!!!

Ok not really, but excited none-the-less for both myself and Halle.

A pic I took of Halle in Sanibel made the Regis & Kelly Beautiful Baby Search! website on  page 39 on the H’s…

Here is the original photo (she just happened to look up after I picked up the camera)….

(That was the best video I could find, so I suggest clicking on the link above and listening to the recorded version. The sound quality is better.)

I LOVE this song! Since the first time I heard this song, it’s made me happy! I used to listen to it during my last job when I was miserable and remember why I was working so hard….for my husband, our future, and our future “little blond haired” children.

Now that my BFF has had her first baby, Baby Caroline, I am in love with this kid and I haven’t even met her yet. Now this song makes me teary…yes, me!…me who never cries!! I still see myself in the movie playing in my head, but instead I’m teary seeing Caroline as the “little blond haired” kid and my BFF and hubby as the two “dancing in the living room”. So, I’m sure it’ll make my BFF teary, since I’m hearing she’s crying at Walmart commercials including mom & daughter.

For you, with love, Caroline and your mommy!!!
I know you hate country music, but get over it for 3 minutes!!!

“I Love My Life” (Jamie O’Neal)

Her little blond hair’s blowin’, she’s swingin’ while her daddy’s mowin’
The grass, and the dog needs a bath
But he’s chasing the cat up a tree
I’m lookin’ out the window, happy just watching my world go round
And I think to myself, how lucky can a girl be

I’ve got everything, more than I ever dreamed
I love my life
I thank God for all I have
And that I love this man
Who loves his wife
I love my life
I love my life

Twenty kisses goodnight, turn the little butterfly night light on,
’til the monster is gone and she’s finally fallen asleep
We tiptoe downstairs, cuddle up and we kiss in the big chair
and I smile and you whisper, now it’s just you and me

I’ve got everything, more than I ever dreamed
I love my life
I thank God for all I have
And that I love this man
Who loves his wife
I love my life
I love my life

Blue and pink in the nursery
Gold and silver anniversaries
Dancing in the living room
Our little girl, and me and you

I’ve got everything, more than I ever dreamed
I love my life
I thank God for all I have
And that I love this man
Who loves his wife
I love my life
I love my life
