Photo Session (from last fall. Ha.) and Some Gratitude

Oh my gosh, it snowed today.  What the heck, winter?  We said our farewells last week with the 70 degree weather.  I put away my winter boots.  Get out, already.

(Want to know what keeps running through my head? "Be gone, Long One."  You know, from Disney's Robin Hood?  When Little John is talking to Hiss?  Anywho...)

I was organizing files on my computer and realized I never shared these photos.  I imagine our family members would like to see a few.  Our good friend, Vanessa, from Pearl Photo and Design, shot these for us on a gorgeous day last September.  I cannot get over the vibrant yellow sun reflecting off of the leaves behind us, especially on a gray day like today.




Squirrel!

  






Last night, I noticed the magic in this^^ picture for the first time.  It's funny how distance can do that.  When we first got the pictures, I didn't notice that this photo was extra special.  It's now one of my favorites of the two of us.  My heart feels so much gratitude for life as I know it when I look at it.  I think, "Oh my goodness.  I am in love with my very best (and very handsome) friend.  And he loves me so much, too.  I can see it!"  I remember the moment.  We were totally lost in our little exchange.  Everything in this picture is authentic.  I love that.

 I totally get it when people want to exclaim to the world how happy--how in love--they are.  I'm there.  Man alive, I am one blessed girl.

  1. Yes, "be gone long one" is such a great descriptor of a stingy winter!
    These pictures are beautiful. And so are the people in them! I love how Sonny Boy is politely 'giving you your private moment' in the last one. :)
    Thank you for sharing!
