Janae was one of my very first friends upon moving to Phoenix. We attend the same community group through church on Thursday nights. I still remember showing up the first time last fall, and Janae was so warm and intentionally pursued a conversation with me, even as I chased then-crawling Nolan. She then invited me to meet her for lunch: my first friend-lunch-date! Since then, we've hiked and spent time at each others' homes, texted a ton(!), and generally become sweet friends. Plus, Janae is an inpatient RN at Mayo, so her stories serve to remind me why I don't miss working as much as I sometimes think I do. ;)
Janae, you can't know how meaningful you have been to me - especially in those early months of living here. It was really a privilege to host your baby shower and celebrate your Little Man.
(And shout out to Lori and Brittainy: best co-hosts ever who made my job easy!)
Was the perfect day for an outdoor party
