ryan & jade's wedding

this sunday two of our very dear friends got married, and we both had the privelage of standing along side them as they declared their love and commitment to one another. it was the absolute sweetest wedding. i always love watching the groom during weddings, and as jade started walking down the aisle, ryan just began to cry - it was a really special thing to witness. i couldn't be more happy for them!

motherhood awaits

it's officially august and that means, it's officially my birth month. i keep dreaming of this little baby within me, a pure beautiful soul. all these months of wonder will come to an end, and soon i will discover if i am to be a mother of a Son or a mother of a Daughter.

this much is true, i will be a mother. my mind is trying to wrap itself around that word. my heart is slowly preparing for the beautiful sacrifice. there is no way of knowing what truly waits for me as i enter the other side, but there is an inner peace and strength awakening.

i want to come with an open mind and heart, the grace and willingness to surrender, and completely give myself over to the courage of love as i begin my rite of passage into motherhood. a courage to birth my baby and meet him or her for the very first time.
