Vacation is OVER!

As my Uncle Thornton says... OH ME!
I have been MIA for the past few weeks due to a terrible case of SPRING FEVER!
My garden is now in and thriving, I learned how to use the weed eater, and my husbands barn has been power washed and reorganized!
It is now time to for photos...
This group of photo booth pics is from The Seguin Education Foundation Gala....
What a wonderful cause...


Founded in 2004, the Seguin Education Foundation is a not-for-   profit educational organization made up of business, community and educational leaders who work towards the SEF mission of generating and distributing resources to enrich teaching, inspire learning, and enhance opportunities for students enrolled in the Seguin Independent School District.


I had such a great time during this event .....

Kevin and Natalie....

I have procrastinated long enough regarding this Blog Post.
I have been thinking about all the things I want to say about Natalie and Kevin, but I just can't get all my tumbling thoughts in order. 

Moreover, how do I do Justice to the story that is Natalie and Kevin?

The decision I came to was to quote directly from the source! 

"Life takes you to some unexpected places, enjoy the ride!"

"I was married to Sam who passed away Jan. 04, 2005. He had Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, he fought a very long 5 1/2 year battle. We have two beautiful children, Kaylee and Tristan. I have two semesters left at Texas State. My brother Dustin passed away in September of 2008, we were very close, I miss him dearly. I have lost two of the most important people in my life, watching them fight Leukemia gave me a completely different view of life...you learn to let a lot go, give a lot more, and love with all of your heart! It has taken me a long time to get to the place where I am today. I am happy and loving life. 

I never thought that I would be able to love again, but it happened, thanks to Kevin."

Congrats again to Natalie and Kevin.

Their Photo Booth Pics ROCK!

Enthusiastic Party Goers are the best!!

Things I was Born With..
An Extra Large Giggle Box...
Hair that never needs to be brushed to look Fabulous
An immaculate and eclectic sense of style
And Cystic Fibrosis
The latter also falls under things that annoy me, but CF does not define me.

Cooper, her Da, and Gigi Showed up to our photo session like most young families.
Cooper was all soft sweet baby love {the kind of thing you want to bottle up and save for the day a toddler morphs into a teenager}, while her Da and Gigi worried about all the possible mishaps that may foil a photo session.

Justin, Karla, & their Beautiful Family

Ok so I say it WAY TO MUCH.. But I love my J-O-B!
Why Because I get to work with people that are very important to me and members of my family.
Justin and Karla are some of these very people.
Justin has known my Brother for more that 15 years, they have been best friends probably since the day their kindred spirits met.
They have shared memories that run the gamete of emotion.
They have been there for each other for the births of children, the loss of a parent, divorce, Birthday parties, Vacation, you name it.
To say the least they are bound by a common respect and a lifetime of great memories!
That is why I was sooo STOKED when Justin's Wife {Karla} called to set up a family photo session.
Justin Works all over the world. At this very moment he is in Africa 6 hours form the Sierra Leone border.
So I was so excited that he took precious time out of vacation with his family and friends to do a photo shoot with me!

This is their Super Adorable Son!

 How Beautiful is their Daughter..And soooo  polite!
