To the Lady whose 26

Dear Jennaroo {Jenny}
I had a lovely day today. We went shopping, tried on killer shoes and left without spending hardly anything at all. Though you should totally go back for that purse and I should most definitely go back for those darling red beads.
Happy 26th Birthday Jen. I know you, You know me, and I know myself.



Dear Jackson,
Thank you for letting me and Jenny shop while you gave yourself a nice long nap. I envy you on just floating away to sleep without a care in the world. Also, just to let you know... I was SO tempted to squeeze your ever so adorable chubby cheeks while you slept. I just love you!

Baby Shower Bring May Flowers???

This Saturday was our first beautiful, bright, & sunny day. It was just so lovely that it did wonders for the soul. Truly. So, what better way then to celebrate with a baby shower, right? My best friend Jenny S. is having her first baby. A little boy to be named Jackson. Jenny and I have had so many late night phone calls, dreaming away the time when we would become mothers. With each new birth and a new baby to cuddle and make giggle at church, i count myself very blessed to be a woman and be able to "hopefully" be a mother of my own someday. Babies are such a blessing. They have the most purest sweet souls that they just smell heaven sent. Well, not all the time...lol and i love it when we can wel-come a new one in. So, as to actually getting back into blogging, enjoy the pictures from this Saturday at Jenny-loo's {nickname for her from me} first baby shower with a real preggo bump :)

For Heather & My first Award

Tonight, I was totally going to blog about some random boring hum drum thing but as I logged on tonight, I received the nicest thing EVER. My FIRST bloggy award! Now, I'm not about to go tooting my own horn here. Instead I want to totally toot, whoop and holla for some one very dear to me. I received my award from a fellow Utah sista from anotha mista, Heather.

I've known Heather for a few years now and I met her when she came out to visit her BFF Leah who just happens to be one of my BFFs. We met and through her visits, and now her blog, we have become so much closer. So Heather, this is for you!

{Please EXCUSE this picture of myself...I was slightly sick and yah...um no enlarging this pic, but for Heather I would do anything and I just happen to actually like this pic of us. The stud in my arms is Leah's little bubba, Noah--I heart Him--wink}

Today she celebrated her 100th post and instead of what I did "writing a letter to my getting lame, slow mover future hubby" or talked about her self as others have done...

She showed her true heart and self by giving awards to others. That right there, if you've never met her, all you need to know or understand is through that sincerely kind act. Putting or Sharing with others first before herself, is Heather. I love you Gal!

Thank You again for my first bloggy award.

I wouldn't have wanted it from anyone else! So Heather, even though on your 100th post you asked that we do the same and share the bloggy award to others...I decided to talk about YOU!

I figured, some of our new bloggy friends needed to be highlighted on why I, and so many, LOVE you dearie!

First, up...Oh and i totally didn't get your permission to use these pics-SORRY!!!--I hope to be forgiven--Cherie, you totally didn't just read that LOL Anywho, that picture right there shows what a great marriage Heather has. I Love hearing the stories of her & Kurt!

Did you know the woman can decorate a cake like no otha? I'm tellin ya, Heather has some skills with her magic decorator tips! For sure. To see more of her cakes, check her blog often, and she always post new cakes but to give you a "taste" see this post Here.

Just when I was already WAY impressed, I saw this on one of her post. When ever some one really close to her has a birthday, she draws them a picture! Check this out. She did this for her sister and I was in just awe.

But, the thing I love, admire, and respect the most is her love for her daughter and her whole giving to being a mother. That little redhead is one lucky little lady for having Heather as her mother.

Heather, Thank you for being my friend. And Thank you for sharing your 100th post to others.My circle of sisters in Heaven would not be a circle without You.

:: Happy 100th Post Heather ::
