Miss Annabelle

It's a fact of life at 21 that friends will be going through major transitions in life. It's funny how many different paths we take in life. Most of my closest girlfriends have gotten married, and are now having children. It's a special time, and I'm really blessed to have friends that I've seen through some of the best and worst of times. Michaela (pictured here with little Annabelle) is a good friend and wonderful woman who I've known throughout my time in college. I was there when she announced her engagement to Nate, and I got to jump up and down and share in her joy :) And then I was at their wedding when Nate cried like a baby...probably one of the sweetest things I've ever witnessed. And I got to meet their little girl, Miss Bella tonight. She's beautiful, and looks so much like Nate. A Daddy's girl. All of us girls just stared in amazement. There's something quieting about a baby, and seeing a mother with her child.

"Sometimes I feel as cold as steel, broken like I'm never gonna heal. And I see your light, a little hope in a little girl...well, hello world."

P.S. I should probably tell you a little something about myself. I've pretty much always got music on throughout the day, or I've got lyrics running through my head. Those who know me know that I randomly burst out into song, just about everywhere. I think I'll try to incorporate lyrics into my blips more often. Just makes sense for me. I could find a song for any situation ha!
