When you realize how AMAZING your friends are!!!

This pretty much sums us up!

This past weekend I had my first baby shower for baby girl. Many of my childhood friends flew and drove far distances to shower sweet baby and I with gifts and love. It meant the world to me that so many people came.

The three musketeers! I have learned so much from you ladies.

I didn't realize how much I needed to see these ladies until I saw them last weekend. These women have been by my side since childhood and beyond. We have taken dance lessons together, stayed up talking until 3:00 am, they have stood beside me through breakups, weddings, and now babies. We have been through all of life together supporting and laughing at one another the entire way.

My BFF from the elementary ballet days! Thanks for always sticking by my side.

I cannot image life without these women. I am so excited for this next chapter where I will get to see my favorite ladies hold my newest favorite lady. Baby girl is so lucky to have so many aunts and grandmas that love her as much as I already do.

My mom and best grandma ever.

Thank you ladies for always loving me through all the vast changes and challenges life brings, thank you for loving my daughter so much, thank you for always being there and never letting distance get in the way, and thank you for this life long friendship that will stand the test of time.

Friends since elementary school. This girl will always make me laugh

Some people are lucky enough to have one life long friend, how did I get lucky enough to have way more than one life long girl friend?!?!? I love you to the moon ladies and I can't wait to see you hold the newest member of our tribe!!!! I hope and pray my daughter finds friends like I have. Now, all of you hurry up and have a baby of your own so "Nelly" will have some friends. :) 

Friends since high school and beyond. Love you TINA.
