College Girlfriends

So my wonderful college girlfriends threw me a shower to celebrate baby Evelyn, and it was soooo fun. It was at Brooke's apartment, and she really made it so cute. So creative and sweet in what they came up with to make me feel special. Each of them gave me a onesie that represented themselves and their personalities- so perfect! (That being said, I got some really cute clothes for my sweet girl.) It was so wonderful catching up with such these girls, most of which I rarely see. I feel so blessed to be able to just pick back up with them where we left off. What a blessing they are- I just miss them so much!!!

Thinking about college friends, last weekend was our 5 year reunion at ACU, which we did not try to attend due to being so very pregnant. But I was thinking back on my life at ACU all weekend. It was such a great time. I was so in love with the man who is about to be the daddy to my little girl. And I can't help but think how blessed we are, even though we never really would have pictured being at this point in our life just 5 years down the road. Neither of us would ever have even known this is what we really wanted. In a way, I thought I would always be a young mom and get pregnant really soon after getting married. But I have so cherished the last 4 1/2 years of marriage, taking time for us to live with a little less responsibility and put all our hearts, time and energy into our wonderful friends, our home in the suburbs, and our jobs in this crazy city. I can't help but feel like it's all been preparing us for this new phase of welcoming a baby into our little family. And I know God has been a part of every step along the way. He arranged it all so perfectly, teaching me to be patient and just enjoy the years that we have just the two of us. And leading us to a group of friends that are the perfect system of support and love we ever could have asked for. How GREAT is our God. His plan is perfect, and we can't wait to experience what He has planned next for us.
