November Happenings

November was another month spent without Rich but it brought lots of activity and excitement. We were lucky enough to have a few showers back when we were in North Carolina and it was wonderful to see all my friends and celebrate our new girl!

 My four best gal friends hosted an adorable and creative shower at my mom's house.  They thought of everything and of course the food was amazing. 
 How cute is this activity? All the guests got to paint blocks for our gal so she'd have her first set of baby blocks! 
 After the shower I was able to head to the Wake Forest football game with Kristen, just like old times! 

 I also managed to turn 32 in November the following weekend.  It was a little sad to be alone on my birthday, but I did treat myself to a birthday massage and mani-pedi!  My toe color is called "It's a girl!" ironically.  

November was a really challenging month for me personally.  I learned a lot about being alone during a weird and new season of my life.  I also discovered so many hidden blessings that come in suffering and sadness and felt the support of so many people loving our family near and far.
