This summer has been a fun season for many reasons! One of them being the amount of wonderful friends I have to are growing little ones inside them (pregnancy is so beautiful and weird! I love it!) John & Mere are one of those preggos in our lives! They are two of our best friends and some of our first (if not first) friends who only knew us as Bruce & Beth. We had just ended our long distance dating period and were back in Colorado Springs when we met John & Mere. We played ... continue reading...
The Meadow
On the drive to Eagle Lake Camp, there is a stretch of meadow. The mountains tower behind, the fields stretch across the horizon, the wildflowers bloom, and the dirt road cuts through the middle of it all.

It's been a hit here in the Mayberry home and I am going to need to make another batch here real soon - smooth, creamy, and minty! Just ... continue reading...
When You Can’t Go To the Baby Shower
When my best friend called me during dinner time, I knew what she was going to say. I rushed to the phone and after seconds of small talk, she told me she was pregnant. From that moment I loved the little one growing inside her - the one that my best friend would call mom. We rejoiced and giggled and eventually had to hang up our phones. We're long distance friends. Our best friend bond was quick like super glue and we lived out our college years in blissful bestfriendship. All the ... continue reading...
