OH YES OH YES! It’s that time of year… to start organizing the address book, start writing the annual update and start piecing through photos to send to the inlaws/outlaws, neighbors, co-workers, friends, brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents, etc… Make it fun and easy this year and take advantage of ELP’s Special… $125 will get you one on location two-hour session, two online galleries, and three digital files… the only hard part will be trying to figure out which one’s your favorite!
My dad is my hero. He’s inspiring on so many levels… And I basically have to twist the understanding of inspiring here. I want to be just like him… he is my inspiration.
Gabby came into my life out of selfishness on my behalf. Yep, I decided to volunteer. Volunteering is a cover up. Everyone thinks people are so grand that volunteer but I know I volunteered because maybe I wasn’t being the person I thought I should be… and I knew I would feel better after doing so. Helping is undoubtedly amazing… its healing to feel like you’ve made a difference and that’s what I mean by selfish… You help someone else but I could guess 99% of the time the person volunteering benefits more in a non-tangible way more than the person on the other end of the help. I’m by no means looking down on volunteering but I have to admit my reasoning… Volunteering with the organization called HERO for Children did what I had expected… AND THEN SOME. Gabby is my mentee… technically, but I’ll be the first to say she’s mentored me more probably than I would’ve ever mentored her.
I must say I just picked some of my most favorite quotes and loosely paired them with people… but everyone I write about I am in awe of how fitting they are to each other. Maybe it’s like horoscopes and fortune cookies… it could say the most broad statement like, ‘Some one worthwhile will come into your life’ and I sit there and think, ‘Wow… that is so true I just met this awesome bride four weeks ago.’ Blanket application, I suppose… I love that though. It’s almost a little like faith, if I can make that huge, bold comparison… sometimes you just want to believe something, sometimes it is so warming to think bigger things are at play here than just our own hard work. This quote also speaks to the faith idea… and for me, more than anything, it is in those unclear moments that faith saves me… and sometimes Alyssa does, too.
…were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about. - Charles Kingsley. Bobby is the man. This little boy can and should be the poster boy of all baby products… he is perfect frame, perfect size and the most perfect, warm-your-heart personality....
