A sweet January Wedding.

I knew I was going home for the holidays (my dad's gift to me) and I also knew there was no way I was going to miss my girl Jessie's wedding. Her wedding was January 19th, and Felix and I flew home the next day. My husband understood why I couldn't miss it and why it would be easier just to stay the whole time in Wichita Falls. He understands how much my girlfriends mean to me. It was especially exciting because Claire was flying in from San Francisco. 

The last time we were all together was our girls' trip in June of 2011 when we stayed with Claire. How much our lives have changed! 

Little Felix Maxham being one of those happy changes.  

To watch Jessie marry her soulmate Neil (who is really the greatest thing to ever happen to our girl) was so special. She looked gorgeous in her gown and red lips next to her cowboy husband. 

Claire took this amazing photo of the newly wed Mr. & Mrs. Henderson

Everything was perfect. The whole weekend was actually. Of course, the wedding was the highlight but other things that made this trip fun: 

Still can't get over this happened!

And having a much needed girls' night at a new club called Whiskeyta

I'm so lucky my husband understands how important my girlfriends are.

My bestie Marisa wrote this quote to Jessica on her wedding day and it's so perfect (and so Jessie because of who said it) that I have to share it here:

"There are no rules, there are no laws, just grab your friend and love him." 

-Jim Morrison

I love you Mrs. Henderson! xo

For my friend Erin.

One of my first close blog friends was Erin of Pugh's News. We are still incredibly close and now that we both have iphones (hurray!) I love that she is just a text away. 

She was one of the first persons I told I was getting married. It was during our first Skype date and she had little Sawyer in her lap. Not surprisingly, she was one of the first I told about Felix. After we found out baby Maxham was a girl, Erin sent me this onesie she custom ordered from Gentry's Closet. 

I remember this particular gift made me feel like this was really happening. My dream of being a Mama was coming true. Something about seeing her name and the star on her birthplace. I couldn't wait until Felix could wear it and at the time it seemed so far away.

Auntie Erin, this photo is for you!

Erin, Felix has been playing in her onesie all afternoon. It's perfect! Thank-you again. We love you so much XO

I want a pet deer.

This past Friday this happened.  I've always wanted a pet fawn so to be this close was a life dream come true. 

A huge thank-you to Jessie who took me to her Granny's (who raises them as babies) so I could meet my deer friend Blossom. I have the best girlfriends!

I can't wait to share more about getting to watch my girl marry her soulmate and how Twinkie and I got to hug our Claire again. 

Team Mark.

If you follow me on Twitter, you might have noticed I'm a smitten kitten over Jason Ritter. He's my celeb crush and I'm crushin pretty hard. I fell in love with him all over again when I started Parenthood but the truth is, he had me at Peter and Vandy.

I don't believe in spoilers so I won't say anything about the season finale other than my subject line, that I was completely Team Mark. How incredible was his acting tonight?!

and because I'm admittedly a girl obsessed, I have to share this photo he posted on his twitter:

LOVE that! and I love his Mark Cyr.

Parenthood fans, were you Team Mark or Team Hank? 

Wishing My Favorite Happy Birthday!

Exactly a year ago today my dreams came true.

I remember wearing red lips to the grocery store when I picked up two pregnancy tests. 

I can't believe a year ago today, I took a little test and it said PREGNANT. I wanted to tell the whole world right away but I remember being terrified of jinxing my fragile happy secret. I already wanted to keep my baby safe and close to me.

I did write a simple facebook status (because it's not official until it's on fb right? *wink) 

I wanted to remember it. To remember exactly when I realized my prayers were answered.  

And seeing it now makes me :) 

Felix Maxham, you're my dream girl. I thank God for giving me you xo

Claire, remember when you sent me a text asking me if I was pregnant after seeing my status? I will never forget that either, how you just knew because you know me so well. 

thrifted for baby.
