Do you ever just have one of those moments when everything feels just perfectly right ... even for just a few minutes? This weekend I got to spend time with two of my dearest friends, Rachel and Jacey. We were celebrating Rachel being a soon-to-be mommy, and the three of us hadn't gotten together since [...]
