Last weekend I traveled to Belton for a few days to hang out with my UMHB girls and attend Kristel's baby shower. (Disclaimer: Sorry to family and others in Central Texas for not telling you I was coming and for not stopping by to say hello! I was only in the area for a brief time and the purpose of the trip was to hang out with my UMHB girls and I traveled without Bobby so I kept it a secret from others. Hopefully Bobby and I will be able to make a trip to Texas later this year and we'll be able to see people on that trip!)
For a brief few hours Friday night, all 8 of us girls were together again - the first time it has happened in years! Although I lost a lot of sleep that weekend, I had an absolutely wonderful time and was so glad I went! I knew I needed some girl time, but I don't think I realized just how much I needed that girl time until I actually saw the girls and hung out with them. There is something so wonderful about having a group of girls who know you better than you know yourself and love you anyway. It was definitely a wonderful weekend and I am already looking forward to the next one!!!
Here are some pictures from the shower (sadly my camera died near the end but I think I got most of the highlights)...

 |
| The loot! :) |

| We made onesies for Jackson using fabric and iron-ons and then Kristel's mom and sister took them home to sew the iron-ons in place. |

| Kristel's sister took notes about the gifts and the gift givers |
 |
| Instead of cards, we gave books to Kristel to add to Jackson's library |

| Two beautiful ladies!!! (Holly and Julia) |

| Kristel's grandfather didn't want to be inside with all the ladies so he took a nap outside in the rocker. |
Smile: It really was so nice to spend some time catching up with my girls!!
Frown: It was nice to be in Texas but it was sad not seeing family and other friends while I was there!
