The One with Thanksgiving

November 26, 2009

I am thankful for so much this year. I have much to thank God for.

I have a loving husband who isn’t perfect, but perfect for me. God has given me such a wonderful partner in him and I am constantly finding new depths to the love that I feel for him. He knows me in ways that I never expected any other person to get me - esp when it’s ways that I don’t want people to know me. He sees what’s deep inside my complex insecurities, but loves me all the same. I am thankful for you, Adam.

I am thankful for my family and friends. Their unconditional love, support, and encouragement mean the world to me.

Thank you Lord so for your abundant blessings even though I am so undeserving of them all.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

(The photo is from Barb & Rowell’s wedding of Adam and I last weekend. Adam helped man the photobooth. He got some really AWESOME photos that I can’t wait to post!)

I am such a sucker for baby blues. Or baby browns. Or just babies in general. I don’t what it is about the eyes of children, but they just make my heart melt. Adam and I had such a great time with Rachel and her beautiful baby boys, Grant and Colten, at Balboa Park. It was such a blessing to be able to share in and capture some of the abundant love that just pours out of Rachel’s heart for her babies.

Rachel, thank you for sharing your boys with us for an afternoon of fun!

We started the day off early for Sarah & Greg’s wedding. The ceremony was held at The Chapel of the Roses in Bonita. It was such a beautiful chapel with colorful stained glass windows. Not only was it beautiful and intimate, it was the same place where Sarah’s parents were married so it had even more special significance. Sarah and Greg have such an amazing love story so far and they have impacted so many people’s lives so far with their love for Christ. I am so excited to see what God has in store for them as husband and wife and how He is going to use their marriage to impact more lives for Jesus.

IMG_7999edit2.jpgI loved how these signs made little crosses. They were the dressing rooms for the guys and girls.

IMG_8014edit1.jpgThe amazingly talented Mike Clark performed worship and this is Sarah at the door when Mike started to play. Definitely one of my favorite moments captured from the day.

IMG_8155edit2.jpgI don’t know what I love more… the look in Greg’s eyes, or Clayton looking at Greg’s reaction to Sarah walking down the aisle.

Sarah and Greg, I hope you are having a blast on your honeymoon! Thank you so much for sharing your day with me! Special thanks to Daniel Galang for helping me again and also to Jill for being your “gift” to Sarah.
