Lately, I have been posting about ladies I met while planning our 2007 wedding. During our planning months (or 1+ years in my case) I met such amazing women and we have remained friends, some of which I consider my closest friends. Our group is one-of-a-kind, we can share anything and I trust them with the details of my life. The greatest joy about our group is that we shared special moments when we were tying the knot, but something more amazing occurred in 2009. During the past year most of us either conceived or gave birth to a child, some only weeks a part. Our little loves are going to grow up in such a great circle of friends, which I only hope will continue for our lifetime.
Alanna the next mommy-to-be is due in May, we celebrated her bundle of joy this Saturday as we showered her with love, good food, amazing conversations and of course gifts! I baked my red velvet cupcakes with vanilla bean cream cheese frosting and added fondant flowers to go with Rachel’s flower theme. I had such a great time and I cannot wait to meet little baby Peters.
I love these ladies and I am so thankful to have them in my life.

The glowing mommy-to-be!

Thank you girls so much – you are all some of the best friends I have, and I truly appreciate you all! I felt so loved at my baby shower. I am so happy that my daughter will have so many friends waiting for her when she is born. 🙂 Thanks again for everything!
