women...

I can't even express the amount of gratitude I feel and the amount of love and support I feel after coming back from seeing friends and family.

I was so overwhelmed by the love and support everyone showed me...

I went home for a baby shower that my sister threw me ~ friends from years back showed up, all my aunts and gramma along with some cousins and my sisters and mom. It was so amazing and I can't even put into words how happy I was to see everyone.

The endless women chit chat was so comforting....

It's so theraputic ~ female chit chat...talks of motherhood, labor, children, men, relationships, sex...everything. We covered it all and the laughter that covered the whole day and night was endless.

I can never thank everyone enough for making the long trips, the money that was spent and the love that was shown. All the nice things they had to say about me and the love I felt through their words and hugs.

Can you tell that I couldn't be more grateful for the women in my life. I will never doubt their support. When I get down about being so far away from these women I have to remember that even though they live far away their love is felt through the many miles between us. It's still hard to leave them and know I'm out here without them but I do know that they'd be here in second if I needed them...which I might in a few months!!!

The trip home was good, but there is one complaint and that is, that I was so wrapped up in everyone that I didn't get enough photos of all these beautiful women....that's always my issue with photographs. Do I enjoy and sit in the moment or do I get my camera out and document the moment??
This weekend I chose to be present in the moment but now I'm wishing I had photos....oh the dilemma!

To all the women in my life who I cherish!
