Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving has taken on a completely new meaning for me. My brother finally graduated from Marine boot camp yesterday, after being away since August. He has changed so much (that's probably an understatement), but it's wonderful to see. I am so proud of him!

My other brother, Josh (pictured below in the camo-colored hoodie) also leaves for Marine boot camp in just a few weeks. This thanksgiving, I am so thankful to God that He has blessed me with a wonderful family and that we can spend the holiday together, because we are growing up and being together won't always be possible.

What are you thankful for?

Other things I am thankful for?

-God (but I think that's a given)

-the fact that it's Thanksgiving and tomorrow, I can listen to Christmas music without being teased.

-that school is nearly over.

-wonderful friends.

-photography!

Yes, I'm still here!

I sincerely apologize for disappearing once again. It seems to be normal for me these days. I'm currently in North Carolina and am headed to South Carolina for my brother's graduation from Marine boot camp.

Fall ended weeks ago in Michigan, but it's in full swing here in the south. LOVE the fact that I'm living through two autumn seasons. North Carolina is absolutely beautiful! I will be sure to share lots of pictures when I return!

Kim and Cath teaser!

This afternoon, I had the honor of taking pictures of Kim and Cath of Kim 'n Cath Bags. They make the most fantastic unique purses and bags and are such fun! They are about to be featured in two prominent magazines. In addition to taking new website pictures, I also took photos of Kim's sewing studio; all of which will appear in both magazines. I'm just as excited as they are :)
