Girls' Weekend

My beautiful friend Kelli married her beloved, Steven, this weekend, and I had the honor of standing up with her to support her on her special day! The weekend was full of fun festivities and celebrations. And the big day was amazing!

I found out 9 days before Kelli's wedding that God was blessing me with my beautiful son. After the initial craziness of Nate's arrival settled, I quickly realized that I had a small predicament on my hands. I knew that I could not miss my precious friend's wedding for many reasons, the least of which was that I had committed to be a bridesmaid. But how was I going to be in a wedding in Dallas with such a tiny bundle of joy?! Mr. Wonderful and I debated for days whether or not to take Nate with us and bring my mom along to tend to Nate. But then we decided that it would be best for Mr. Wonderful to stay at home on Daddy-duty while I made the trip. The little man was just too small to make the road trip. Plus, I thought I may be a bit distracted - hmm...ya think?!

My amazing friend Jennifer lovingly and selflessly agreed to make the road trip with me and be my date to the wedding. It was amazing how God orchestrated her work schedule so that she could come along, and it was a true gift to me because I seriously do not think I could have been away from my boys without her.

Jennifer and I had a wonderful time together. We laughed, we cried, we made lots of memories I will not soon forget. The Lord used our time together to grow us closer to each other and He revealed Himself to me further through this amazing woman. Thank you, Jennifer!

Here are some fun pics from the weekend:
