i had such huge expectations for this post. i haven't even included all the pictures that i wanted to. i might just come back and add and change the post. but maybe not. lol. i love this challenge that my friend {jude} put together.  i can't wait to make a book at the end of the year of these posts.  i feel very privileged to be in this circle of very talented women. 

please go take a look at the very talented {irene's} living in the moment post.

we look happy don't we?  the camera doesn't lie.  i am the happiest i have ever been in my life and that's because of you.  you're my lid.  my soul mate.  my wife.  i hope i can make you a quarter as happy as you make me.  we're pretty lucky to have found each other and to have taken those leaps into the unknown to be together.  it all started with three little words.  and i couldn't be happier that i said them to you.
