Truly Blessed~


As Lauren sleeps, I thought I would take the chance to post our morning. Lauren and I enjoyed breakfast with friends at "Lucky Acres" Farm. Suz & Dan invited us all and it was so fun and another event full of memories I will always hold dear to my heart. As I drove home and Lauren talked to "pretend Kailahni" :), I was just filled with such appreciation of all that God has given me. The friends who we have met on the journey to Lauren are so incredible.

It's funny, I am reading a "90-day renewal" devotional right now that I had done 6 years ago as well and as I read my prayers 6 years ago I see that I have been given so much more than I had ever imagined. My prayer 6 years ago today was that I would become pregnant this month...I thank God that I didn't or I would not have my precious Lauren. God truly blesses abundantly beyond anything we can dream. Below are some pictures of this morning and also of our time in Prescott a few weeks ago when the infamous Zoey was in town!! Love you all!

"Truly blessed" for sure! Today was so fun...I love getting the girls together! Dan was telling me about Lauren "playing" with "Kailhani" on your trip up north...what a crack up! I just love Lauren and I'm so glad that Kailahni has her as a friend! I treasure our friendship as well, Mardi...I'm blessed to have you in my life! Big hugs!
