A Reason to be Thankful

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, I have been thinking a lot about the many things I have in my life to be thankful for. My husband is at the very top of that list. I have been so blessed to share my life with someone who loves me, regardless what I look like.... supports me, in anything I attempt to do.... encourages me, when I feel defeated.... and treats me like his partner, not his servant. He is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. He has been such an inspiration for me and has always encouraged me to shoot for the stars. In today's society, that is a rare commodity.

My love of photography has allowed me to take pictures of many people I care about. Jimmy has helped to nurture that love, and has done whatever he can to help me improve and learn more about it. However, being that I am usually on one side of the camera and my husband is on the other, Jimmy and I have very few pictures of us together. I didn't want us to look back in fifty years and not have any photos of the two of us together, so my husband agreed to an impromptu photo shoot. I set the self-timer (about 1,000 times!!) and had a great time doing it. I think our kids thought we were crazy, but that's ok. I know from personal experience that one day, many years from now, they will be thankful that we took the time to preserve those special moments for them.
