This past week I ventured on my own to Hutto, TX to visit my best friend, Rachel, and her boys. It was so much fun! I was inducted very quickly into the life of a full time mommy and was
so impressed with the way Rachel had it organized. Her energy and sweetness with her children blew me away. I literally had to take a nap one day while mommy of two, wife to Ian, professional photographer, house manager, meal maker KEPT GOING. 
One thing that I am not thankful for is a new addiction. The Bachelorette. Poor Reed. :( Rach and Ian let me crash their date night and we all watched it together. Our Mormon moment. ;)
Highlights:

Feeding Joaquin a bottle and involuntary tears came to my eyes

You teach me about love and Grace with your friendship and inviting me into your life. I love you, girl!
