Pink Girly Cousins
Saturday morning, I was challenged to get out of the door on time when Mike unexpectedly had to go into work, and I had to get the baby ready for the day, finish wrapping gifts and finish preparing for the church bake sale. Thank goodness for Alicia who was able to pick the baby up for me as I rushed out the door. Amanda, Kara and I were on our way to Richmond for our good friend, roommate and sorority sister, Ashley's bridal shower. 
There we enjoyed GREAT company and had many laughs as we reminisced about our college days. As planned, all the girls were staying in Richmond for a 'sleepover' although I was to head back to my family in NOVA. With much encouragement and positive peer pressure the girls urged me to stay to carry on our good laughs and fun. I had said ahead of time that I wasn't ready to leave little Lily for a full night yet, but Mike had insisted I stay. Of course, I knew I was leaving Lily in perfect hands and what better night to be away when I was in the good company of my closest girlfriends. Although still hesitant I decided to stay knowing I would need to get it over with soon, leaving my little girl at home. My night was awesome and I couldn't have spent my first night away from Lily with a better crowd.

As if it were no trouble at all without me, Mike greeted me with a huge kiss. He shows such confidence and calmness that inspires me. Everyday he proves to be best father and husband he can be. I wonder what other husband would so willingly, at the last minute, stay with a 2month old by himself. I know I am lucky gal and I also know that Lily will someday realize the same things about her father.
