Hey…guess what? Right now…possibly at this very moment…. I’m working like a crazy lady upgrading my site and while I’m doing that things are gonna be a bit screwy around here….but please feel free to look around…and as you do…. remember that this is not blog normal…it’s just being improved upon =).

SP Systems Barn Doors Set (note: I only paid $10 for these and it’s been so fun to use. I can’t wait to do portraits with it! Here’s a pic from B&H of them).
Yesterday I chatted with a friend-client. I told her that I really liked her fiance. She said, “Me too! I mean I’d like him even if I wasn’t going to marry him.”
You know what? I like my husband, too. I love being around him. He’s my friend. Mark is a teacher and just finished summer school (Yippee!). That means he’s home until August. Everyday. And that makes me happy.
Not everyone is so fortunate. My mom struggled with my dad being home. Over the years of their marriage they had grown apart. For much of their married years, he worked out of state and came home occasionally. When he retired, he was home all the time. My mom had a separate life. My dad had expectations of her and didn’t know her. He didn’t (or perhaps couldn’t) see and appreciate her for who she was.
My life is so different. When Mark is home, he doesn’t seem to have high expectations of me. We just are home together. He sometimes works on projects. I work on projects. We work on projects together. At other times, one of us is “goofing off” or napping, while the other is taking care of the home or kids.
I’m so thankful for his acceptance of me for who I am. He gives me grace, freedom and champions me. I’m grateful.
A couple of weeks ago my family went to the 2010 Special Olympic Summer Games to hang out with our good friends and watch our pal Nolan swim. He took the gold!
The song for Nolan’s video isThe Sound Of Sunshine . I don’t normally use non royalty free music but this one just fits. Here’s Michael Franti’s video:
Hi there! In Baz Luhrmann’s epic, Australia, the little boy Nullah says at the movie’s end, “that’s why we tell…the stories…so they know they are belonging to us.”
Now, you’re here because you have a story to be told. Are you getting married? Having a baby? Celebrating a friendship or family? All of these are stories and theses stories tell of your “belongingness”…of your belonging to a larger story…a story that matters…a story that connects you with people you love and want to remember… and to people who love you and want to remember you.
Your story matters. And I so love a good story. That’s what this site is about.
