When I was going through security last night at the airport in Salt Lake the man looked at my I.D. and my boarding pass and said Crystal's going home and I responded yep! I am so lucky to have two places I call home. I had a great weekend visiting with Devin's family and my family. It was a much needed vacation for me. I really needed to spend a few days with them to lift my spirits of being away during my first pregnancy. For the most part it worked, but I was an emotional mess leaving my mom. It's just something a girl needs especially with all the fears and insecurities that come with this new adventure. At the same time I missed Devin and couldn't wait to get home to Portland to see him. I cried so much yesterday I think my body is empty of water, but here I am. Ready to meet my little girl and hold her in my arms. I can't wait!
While I was home my mom and my sisters
and sister in laws threw Nola and I a baby shower.
This is one of my very best friends Emily.
It was a fun night of seeing old friends. This is Kristen and Chanteel.
