Driving to the airport on Tuesday at 3:45am to take my sweet girl, Kaitlyn to the airport, I couldn’t help but remember the last time we had flown out together for an early morning flight. It was December 24, 2012, it was a white-knuckle drive through a blizzard to get to the airport where we were headed to Hawaii to avoid Christmas. Just a few short weeks before, both of us had suddenly found ourselves single, Kaitlyn as a widow and me with an unexpected divorce. Those dark days are now way behind us and we both have stepped into the light. For Kaitlyn, she found love again, got married 2 ½ years ago and is a happy mom-to-be just finishing her second trimester. For me, I moved to Moscow, after buying the most perfect place five years ago (today) and then found love too. From where we came from to where we are now, we both know we have been blessed beyond measure. Sometimes it’s good to look back and see where you came from to know how far you have come. Simply put, life is beyond good and we know it.
During Kaitlyn’s visit, we held a baby shower, gathered family and close friends to celebrate this beautiful time in her life. All the pregnant mom wanted was a balloon arch, crème puffs and chocolate drizzled bacon on a stick… lol. I have to say, her cousin, Sarah planned out a splendid theme, I added a few more food items and my barn was created into a very magical place by her sister, Jen and cousins – Sarah & Bridgette. Thought I’d share some precious pictures .
As always, thanks for stopping. I wish all the best for you and that peace,
love and comfort are yours. All my best,
Gayle
