So it has arrived.
That day I actually strived for…
The day that if it wasn’t happening I would be disappointed but the fact that it is happening is wrenching my heart in two… It’s complicated – a mother’s heart is very complicated, messy place that no one can understand.
Today is the last day my youngest will be “living at home” we are “moving” him into college and having been through it once before I know full well that means from here on out he will only make brief appearances and start calling his dorm room “home” 😥
My boys will be rooming together and we are so thankful they will both be in college. This week I have watched as God has clearly opened doors for two other people who desperately wanted to go to college and did not have the resources. It is a tremendous financial undertaking to send them off to college and many of us remember our own struggles getting through.
This week as I was confiding in a friend my frustration over not being able to help someone who wanted so badly to go to college. She listened carefully, then causally and joyfully offered a donation which threw the doors open for the college hopeful! They confided that they were once a college student who had no resources from home and had to get through college on loans and donations from generous people and they were thrilled to be able to pay it back all these years later! Yesterday there was another miracle, when another student with the same frustrations was blown away when again generous strangers came through!!! It is such a humbling experience to see how God works!

Yes, we have seriously questioned our sanity at bringing a baby into the family at this point in life. But there has been a hole in our lives since we lost our sweet Teddy last year and now with both boys gone I just can’t fight the instinct to fill it with something! It does not help when a friends sweet dog has 9 of the most adorable puppies! So yes we have fallen in love with sweet Lucy and I’m sure I will have plenty to say about her as we suffer through the puppy months (years?). We will be teaching her to {sit} among many other things. My sincere hope is that she is the smartest most obedient dog ever! She will be moving in the end of October in the mean time we just make weekly visits!

{My style} – I hope people see it as friendly, efficient and fast. I really try to get my clients their pictures as quickly as I can without compromising on the quality. I like to be a person who follows through with what I say and is just overall easy to work with 😉
{My style} is also casual, relaxed, lets enjoy this experience! I’m having fun and I want you to as well!
Chow for now! I hope you enjoy the gorgeous Fall weather this weekend! I will be leaving my heart in WW! 😥
