1 :: Together Again – There is so much excitement inside of me my heart feels like it could burst! My husband is finally coming home after being away for two and a half months!!! I feel kind of like a wuss because this “mini deployment” really wasn’t all that long… but it sure was hard. I had grown so used to having a companion through life that I had to re-learn how to live my life when he was gone. I am also ecstatic that he’s coming home in time for the 4 day Labor Day weekend! Such a blessing…
2 :: Back to Black – Every girl needs a pair of black patent leather stilettos. It’s a staple… kind of like the little black dress. So to encourage and inspire, I have compiled a list of the greats that I feel have done a rockstar job in their rendition of the black stiletto pump. Gives you something to reach for doesn’t it?

4 :: Happy-go-lucky Folksy Tunes – The end of summer usually leads me to folksy music to propel me through those lazy sunshine afternoons where the air is thick and time seems to stand still.

The weather was so perfect for their session complete with this fabulous sunset. Every couple should have a photo like this!
