It's my first trip home since Christmas, and while that in and of itself is exciting, the reason for my trip makes it that much sweeter.
It's our first "Girls" baby shower!
The nine of us have been friends for over 11 years now, and we've already celebrated 3 weddings. Now we are just a few weeks away from the first baby being born! My sweet friend Brittany is due next month, and I cannot wait to meet her precious little girl, Nora. In the mean time, I'm excited to celebrate both momma an baby with some of my best friends this weekend.
I even managed to get all of my work done, so I'm traveling light! It will be a short trip, since the cheapest flights are to Raleigh (a 3 hour drive from Richmond), but my parents have been gracious enough to help make it happen by chauffeuring me back and forth to the airport.
Strangely, though, I feel a pang of homesickness for my Nashville home already (sorry, mom!). It's amazing how much I've fallen in love with this city, how easy the adjustment has been, and how much I look forward to my weekends with my new friends. I feel so blessed to have the best of both worlds - great friends to live life with in Nashville and great friends to go home to in Richmond.
So excited!
