Beau's Baptism

I took a whirlwind trip to Florida for Beau's baptism. She's my first Goddaughter, and I am beyond excited and honored. Kristen and Schuyler are from Florida and the priest who married them {and is a childhood friend} was able to baptize her, so this was a very special service.

On the way there, in the Dallas airport, I found this magazine and died. Lonesome Dove is one of my all-time favorite books and movies. It is beyond amazing. If you haven't seen it or read it, it's a MUST do. I am not a huge Western lover, but this is a must, must, must. Haha... Tangent, much? Point being - I took the picture to send to Brent and geek out. {grin}



Kristen's brother, Clay, is Beau's Godfather, and our flights got in about 20 minutes apart, so we got picked up and immediately went to get a drink. Nothing like drinking before a baptism. We're good Catholics if nothing else!

Another really neat thing about Beau's baptism was that she wore Drew's dress. I love that they will share that as Kristen and I force them to be BFFs.

Friday was a low-key day because Kristen spent a lot of it working. If you are need a realtor, she is your girl - I mean she worked on vacation! But Friday evening, we went to Pensacola Beach boardwalk and walked around and had drinks and dinner out on the water.

I flew home early Saturday morning to get home to my babies who I was missing desperately! Drew nursed about a bajillion times on Saturday, so the feeling was mutual, I think. But she and Trent were definitely NOT neglected while I was gone.

Baptisms and Beaches

I'm leaving for Florida today! Beau is being baptized this evening at Kristen and Schuyler's home church with the priest who married them. I am so excited! 

First, it is such an amazing honor to be a Godmother. I feel so privileged to have this precious girl as my Goddaughter. 

We jokingly refer to our girls as Little Nugget and Chunky Nugget.

Then, because we'll be in Florida, we're going to hit up the beach! I'm going sans family, so I'll actually be able to relax and enjoy some Vitamin D. It's a quick 48 hour trip, but I can't wait!

Not Pensacola Beach but who cares? I will see the same ocean in 24 hours!
