250th Post Is All About Me!

This Mothers Day was the most fun I've had in a long time. Thanks to two of my wonderful friends who with their husbands and families joined us for a fabulous dinner and fun playing monopoly deal as well as apples to apples.
I am blessed.


Birth, My FAVORITE!
Recently my great friend Dez far right and I have attended two different and totally beautiful natural hospital births as a doula team! We are currently teaching child birth education together as well as sharing the same calling in church and homeschooling our children. Dez is a woman after my own heart, there has never been a time when I have found a friend with so much in common with myself. I was meant to be in Surprise, Arizona at this time and this place. Even in high school I never felt this connected to friends as I do now. I have learned that other women exist who see friendship the way I do. I am over the moon happy with my life right now. I cannot remember ever feeling this great about friendship.
