Throughout the year, we are blessed with special moments. Birthdays, anniversaries, welcoming new babies, getting a new pet, and weddings are but a few.
Last month I had the honor of preserving wedding memories for Casey and Grant by being their photographer.
I do not like photographing weddings, but I was Casey's child care provider (formerly known as "baby sitter") when she was growing up, so naturally I could not say "no". In fact, it was my pleasure and my gift to the newly weds. I *finally* finished the collage pages for the album, which is one project that I can put on my "ta-DONE!" list :)
Casey is now a beautiful young woman and I am so happy that she has found her soul mate, and just in time to celebrate two important holidays with her husband.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are busy times for us because we have a Christmas Tree business, where we have both cut and live trees, and make fresh, mixed greens wreaths, swags, and grave blankets. With so much work, if I am not extremely organized the holidays are not much fun for me. Yet, as I reflect back, they, too are full of happy memories.
For me, the key to a happy holiday is to ignore media hype as to what it "should be" and go with the flow of how the day fits into our lives.
