The Smart family took a short trip to California. We were going to celebrate one of my favorite people, Amy Rupple, my wonderful sister in law. I loved seeing her with her beautiful belly. Looking at her just brings me so much joy because I see God's faithfulness to her. Justin and Amy lost their first baby a day before Karli was born. I remember calling Justin to tell him how sorry I was and to let him know I would not be offended in the least if they didn't show up to the hospital to see Karli. I knew the wounds were so fresh for them, and to be in a delivery room rejoicing with a birth is probably the last thing they wanted to do. But I remember Amy telling me that she wouldn't have missed Karlis birth for the world. She walked into the delivery room, gave me a great big hug and beamed from ear to ear rejoicing in the birth of her niece. I knew my sister-in-law was an amazing person but that day I just realized how incredible she really was.
Her baby shower was beautiful! Rachel, Stephanie, Jenna, and everyone else who worked on it did an incredible job! Amy looked radiant!

The day was beautiful! Now we wait in anticipation for the baby to be born so we can know if it is a girl or boy. It kills me to think that I will be in Arizona when the baby is born and the first time I see the baby will be on facebook. Being away from family and friends is one of the hardest things about living in Arizona. Gratefully I have been making some great friendship out here or else I would be going crazy. Thankful to God for that!
