"The First"

One of my very best friends, Brooke, is the first to everything.

First one to get a "big girl" job.
First one to move out.
First one to meet "mister right".
First one to get that shiny little rock on her left hand.
First one to tie the knot.

And obviously....
the first one to send us "that" text message.

You know which one I'm talking about...
Yup. THAT one.

But I'm more than okay with this.

Why?

Well, for one, she's by far the most mature out of all us girls so naturally, it would make sense that she would grow up before any of us even consider it.

Second, she goes through everything before the rest of us which means "the rest of us" are prepared for when our turn comes around. (i.e.: proposals, engagements, showers, weddings, honeymoons, marriage and now...babies.)

I consider myself to have the inside scoop on life, thanks to Brooke.

Enough with the babble...she had her first baby shower this weekend. Can I tell you how surreal it is to see one of your very best friends rockin' a baby bump??!! 

And let me tell you...sister was rockin' it. :)













Her adorable, American Doll-like neice, Abby.
Where can I find one?







Trying to get this shot was rather awkward lol.

Me & Ash
(Zebra print maxi dress in January? Sure! Why not?!)

I've always wanted to take these pictures with one of my girls! ;)


Kisses for baby Jude!

So thanks, Brookie, for leadin' the way for the rest of us delinquents! 
You can be the first any day! ;)

  2. The shower is adorable, I love the little rock star theme. Too cute! I love the zebra maxi - if Texas is anything like Florida, you can rock it year round. I've been in Shorts and tank tops all weekend :)
