* More pics to come *
The best, most wonderful thing about the last 4 days of my life was meeting some of the most incredible women in the world and having them ALL together in one place!! I can not tell you enough how amazing it was to finally meet Jenna, Ashley, Nicole, Andi, Illy, Ashley S, and more.
After months and months of emails and Twitter chats, seeing them and spending time with them in "real life" this weekend at Creative Estates was a dream come true. Every single one of these ladies is exactly who they portray themselves to be online. They are beautiful inside and out. I loved sharing a room with them and staying up in into the late hours of the night to talk about marriage, God, babies, life and our families. The conversations ran deep and full of depth... There were tears and vulnerability, non-stop laughs, craft time, a trip to the Grand Canyon (incredible!), driving through a ghetto in Phoenix (long story) and so much girl time. It was an experience I will truly treasure for years to come. I feel like the timing couldn't have been better pre-baby to just spend girl time with women who have already "been there." I got so much wonderful advice and wisdom from them.
Thank you, ladies, for a wonderful weekend. Meeting you all was truly the highlight of the weekend and I am so blessed to call you friends. I still laugh when I think that we all found one another on the good 'ol Interweb. You are my soul-sistas! :)
P.S. A very happy 33rd wedding anniversary to my wonderful parents! Woot woot!!!!
Cup Half Full Link Up Party
The goal of this link up party is to have a place where women can come each week and simply link back to posts where they find beauty in their life.
This is not a subject-specific link up party, but simply an overall theme of contented, thankful way of living. I don't really care what you want to link up, as long as it promotes a general positive, thankful, my-cup-is-half-full vibe.
- Link up to your specific blog post, not to your blog's main page.
- Make this an interactive link up party by trying to visit a few other blogs while you're here and stop and show them some love-- because everyone loves comments! :)
- Grab a button or link back to this post so that your blog readers can come and join in on the fun, too!
- Thank you for stopping by!
