My best friend had her very precious little girl this week.
Aubrie Kendall is her sweet little name. She was 7 lbs, 7 ounces and 20 inches long.
I went to meet her the day after she was born and oh my was she ever a little peanut. I mean, I know babies are little but I [...]

About that baby
My best friend is due to have her first child any time now. And with that on the horizon, I thought it was only appropriate to write the baby a letter – since I don’t have children of my own to write blog letters to – since I just can’t wait to meet her.
Dear Baby [...]

I hear her in my voice and see her when I look in the mirror.
She’s the first person who ever loved me, who ever yelled at me, who ever thought I was beautiful. She’s my biggest cheerleader, critic and one of my very best friends. She’s kind, sweet, sensitive and supportive.
August 17, 2009. It feels [...]

Baby Shower
Isn’t she stunning? Yep, she is. Which is exactly the kind of mama she’s going to be.
Today – her baby shower – made the anticipation worse. I absolutely cannot wait for her little girl to be here.

Driving stick
I vividly remember the day I learned to drive a stick shift car.
With my best friend in tow (who did not know a thing about driving stick) as my co-pilot, we headed out to “practice” in our suburban town. We must have rolled down that hill on Green Road backwards about 10 times before finally [...]

I don’t have much to say, besides that I am absolutely excited and a little bit nervous.
No matter the outcome of this, I need to thank all of you. It’s amazing how the Internet becomes your own little cheer leading squad in times [...]

Silver lining
Two of my friends (and former newspaper co-workers) lost there jobs this week. And gosh, I wish I could make them know that they are going to be OK.
One friend in particular is having a really hard time. In fact, she’s nearly identically going through the same motions I did in the days that followed [...]

Don’t tell Grandma
Jeff’s mom spoils me rotten. And she did it again for my birthday.
With a new Coach purse. (She promises she got a rock star deal so that makes me feel a little less guilty about her getting me another beautiful bag.)
She knew when she walked in on Saturday that she was going to be “in [...]

26
Our parents got along swimmingly, which was probably the most perfect way to bring in 26. I am truly blessed to have so many that love me.
I can’t quite put into words what it meant to me to spend my birthday – a hard birthday, for some reason – surrounded by people I love. By [...]

Birthday week
I celebrated my 22nd birthday just a little more than one month after Jeff and I met.
When I got home from my night shift at the paper he handed me a huge moving size box. It was light, but filled. With Chex Mix. Every kind I could think of.
I thought it was absolutely cute that [...]
