Friendships and Rex's baby shower

I'm miles away from family and friends but I'm amazed at the beautiful friendships I've made in Washington these past 2 years! My best friend Kelly threw me the most beautiful baby shower! Let me share with you that she is in the process of moving to California and her husband to Alaska(got to love the military!) in the next week and still found the time to make me feel special! I really don't know what i'm going to do when she is gone!
Kelly & I
   As a military wife you form such strong bonds with the other wives because you are away from family and your husband is gone about 300 or more days of the year! They become your rock when you need them! They are there to have fun, laugh, cry and help when needed! You never know they may even deliver your baby! These women are incredible! You laugh when you say "I haven't seen so and so for awhile" because that usually means their husband is home! Its like we go into hibernation when our hubbies are home, at least i know i do! These women are strong on so many levels and words can't describe my appreciation for them everyday!
  Thank you ladies for making my day so special and know I hold every one of you close to my heart!

Here are a few photos from the shower! Thank you again Kelly! Love you!
