I mentioned recently in one of my posts that I have been feeling the need to be there for my friend who is expecting, so yesterday on my way home from Coronado, I picked up a box of baby clothes and such from my small group leaders house, a bag of baby socks from my other friend's house and put them all in a box for her along with some maternity shorts and yoga pants that another friend of mine gave me.
Being a nanny has taught me so much about motherhood; what you need, what brands are best, what everything even is (like the stuff you see on the shelves at Target in the baby isles), etc. So, even though Im really trying not to spend my money right now, I figured this is a whole different situation. Putting my new motherhood knowledge to use, I went to Target this morning and picked up a few things that I know are absolutely vital to have in those first few months of having a new baby. I was actually laughing at myself in the isle becuase of how much of a mom I felt like looking at everything going "Oh I love these, these are the best!" or "Oh man, I use these all the time, she will definitely need them!" Hahaha..but I was just so excited to see my friend today that I felt buying her those few little things was just really special..
Again, even though Im trying not to spend, I treated her to tea this afternoon at the Old California Coffee House; my second favorite coffee shop after Vinaka :) We had so much fun cathching up and opening gifts and just talking about the past and future and all that. I felt that even though I was going out on a limb and spending money today, I was blessing someone else so much and it was just the best feeling. Plus I found out that the things I picked out for her were exactly some of the things she had been wanting most from Target for her son.
I missed my friend and I love knowing that God has us in each other's lives for a reason. So happy to be back in her life!
Xoxo,
