Today was a really special day. I had the privilege of throwing a baby shower for my dear friend Mauria and it was a lot of fun to hang out with so many sweet gals!Mauria has many wonderful friends and it was a treat to get to laugh and "be girls" together and shower her with cute baby boy things. It was also special when we, as a group, got to vocalize what an exceptional woman and friend Mauria is to us. She is an encourager, a thoughtful and caring person, and a friend you can always call. She also has a memory of steel and a fantastic sense of humor! :) We've all been so blessed by her friendship!
This b/w photo is a pregnancy time line of those of us from the shower that are expecting! There were a lot of us! (Thanks for snapping this photo, Annie!)
This next photo is of Mauria (on right) with friend Erin. Aren't they just so beautiful? I thought they looked so radiant in this picture and had to share their "glow" with you. :)

These pics made me miss everyone so much! I didn't know Mauria that well but Erin and I were good friends so it makes me sad to be missing out on everyone's pregnancies and soon to be babies! Thanks for posting them though- its good to feel connected still! I am so glad that you are still going through your pregnancy so well- the Lord is so gracious!
Tell Josh hi from us!
Bethany, the shower was so much fun. Really, you did a beautiful job. All of the decorations, food, games were so exactly Mauria's style, a simple & classic elegance with a lot of love and humor thrown in. It is obvious that you know her so well. She really does have amazing friends. It was so much fun for me to get to meet them and hear all of their praises of Mauria. Thanks again for hosting, and blessings on your last trimester. Is it going fast or slow? It seems like Mauria's is speeding by. Take care, Jessica (Mauria's neighbor)
PS: Those senior pictures are amazing. I also loved the newborn pictures (I think you said his name was Isaac ... hope that's right). God has obviously blessed you with a special gift of capturing His creations. What a great way to honor Him.
