edel | Pray. Work. Motherhood.
After I attended the Edel Gathering last year, I came home and shared how I felt like the shy girl surrounded by over 200 of her best girlfriends, many of whom were her blogging heroes. So many beautiful women, connected by a sense of community grounded in faith and the beauty of womanhood, touched my heart that weekend and invigorated my soul to face the everyday drudgery that often plagues me. The weekend of fellowship, heartfelt connection, and laughter was a balm that would never be replicated.
I was right. It couldn’t be replicated. As it turns out, though, it could be improved upon. The reunion with old friends and the genesis of new friendships made this year’s experience more enriching than the last. Color me stunned.
Here we are – NYE of 2014! “Another year over, a new one just begun!” I’m linking up today with Dwija at House Unseen to review 12 photos from our 2014 here at Cajuntexasmom’s Chateau. Stroll with me as we remember the last year and toast to the new one!
Well, it’s the last official weekend of summer, and we intend to continue to sweat to death as we drown in boiling humidity enjoy our warm weather while it lasts. Between National Cheeseburger Day yesterday and my toddler walking around in a sundress, summer still feels pretty real around here.
