Welcome to Follow Friday…on a Sunday!

Ahhh, the creative license that comes from having my own corner of the internet.

I adore Angie. She’s another blogger that I’ve read for.ever. I remember when she met a weight milestone (she lost 100 pounds!) and then split a skirt. When she ran her first 5K. When she got married. When she announced she was pregnant (even though I had figured it out!). I just love Angie. And I wish I had time to go back and dig through her archives for links for the posts, but without having any sort of approximate date and since she’s blogged since 2007, it’d take me all day.

She’s one of those people that I consider a friend even though I’ve never met her. When I talk about her to Nathan, she’s “that blog friend in Canada that’s having the baby!”

(Picture lifted from Angie’s Website. Shelagh is the awesome photographer.)

I actually looked up prices on airfare to her hometown when they had a get together. That’s how much I love my Canadian friends. (But then it ended up that it would have cost more than my monthly mortgage payment just for me, so that idea was scrapped quickly. Maybe next time, if we plan ahead…) I oohed and aahed over her surprise baby shower. Especially this gift.  I hope that if I ever have a baby, my own little guy will get one of these to wear with pride. (Wow, my blog is becoming hint after hint for the ever-so-missed Amy!)

I am so excited to meet her little peanut and find out what name they have chosen. Somehow reading through her posts about preparing for a baby have brought me peace. I think there’s something to knowing that many pregnancies end up healthy and happy (even though full of fatigue and aches). The way she shares about her pregnancy and what she is learning makes me feel like I’m involved, like I’m learning too.

Angie has also been a great comfort to me lately – comments, emails – and I am so thankful.
