So on Thursday, Beckett and I met Maria in Mattoon. She hadn't gotten to meet the little Brick yet, so it was exciting! I hadn't seen her since the baby shower, which she did a TON to help with, including took all the pictures. We met her for lunch with her wonderful mom, Cathy, at Cody's in Mattoon. They both spoiled Beckett with several cute new outfits, including this "Born to Be Wild" shirt Maria picked out. I love this picture because it looks like he's training a wild animal. (Luckily, it's just little Lexi, calm as can be, who looks like she's thinking: Seriously? Another picture?)
Beckett did great during our lunch, but sadly, the only picture I have of he and Maria is from the bathroom from when Maria first saw him! Haha!
Her mom took some good ones, though, so hopefully she'll post them on her blog, Braham Fam. (hint, hint) Maria is an amazing girl - I love her to pieces - she's one of the strongest (and most gorgeous) people I know. Anytime something happens to her that would have most people caving in, she stays strong and seems to be able to find something to look forward to, or something positive about it. She has had a lot of tough times recently, but she is still as sweet and positive as can be. I love and admire her for that. After getting to know her mom a little more, I can see where she gets some of that! Cathy is a really sweet person, too.
Anyway, Maria and I have been friends for what seems like forever, and she is so thoughtful and fun. She always remembers special events and takes more pictures than (just about) anyone I've ever met, which comes in handy for the rest of us. I wish I could see her more often - I love her and her husband, Craig. They are great people and even better friends!
That brought tears to my eyes!!! What a sweet post you wrote! You are such an amazing friend! You are the BEST!!! I loved seeing you and meeting Beckett! He is so stinking cute!! Love you!!
