Babies & Bridal Showers

While I still find it weird to get excited over mixing bowls and feel uncomfortable standing in the baby aisle at the store, I was so glad I was able to make it back to Minnesota for Jennie's baby shower and Alison's bridal shower.

The weekend was full of catching up with the girls and reminiscing about the days when things were more simple than diapers and diamond rings. And indulging in delicious treats, of course...

Tears filled my eyes when it was time to say goodbye, especially when I realized that I probably won't make it home again until Alison's actual wedding on the 14th of September.

Time at home is always too short, but weekends like these remind me that no matter what huge events take place in our lives or how much time we spend apart, we will always be the girls who knew each other from the start & who love each other just as much now as we did back then.
