Friendship weekend!👭My girls @cantibeanonymous and @carolynfwilliams have been visiting me regularly since day 1 of this widow journey. They bring wine, they bring help, they tell inappropriate jokes. And when they asked what weekend should they visit me in my new town, we thought Jake's birthday weekend would be best. I can hardly express the gratitude I have for these ladies who know me so well and give so much. #beautythroughthepain #friendshipweekend #widowlovestories #smolderinglooks🔥
New blog post! I opened my heart and let my vulnerable scared self out. #linkinprofile
Feel so very #blessed to have had a wonderful weekend with my wonderful Vasey family. We get to welcome a new baby into this crew and I couldn't be more honored to be an Aunt to little baby Roman. Life is strange and sad and joyful! #romanjacob #beautythroughthepain
A brief visit to Eugene in the midst of a family trip to Oregon. So fun! Way too fast! Felt great to workout with my gym people again, it feeds the body and the soul. Thank you @heidie23 For the bday wod. Thank you @rbp123 for lunch and endless support for whatever I'm doing to make this new life work. ❤️you, my people!
Sage advice. #ok #hereigo
It was a strange and special birthday. Surrounded by my Spokane crew and feeling the love from Oregon and elsewhere. I got messages all day and into the night. Thank you all!
