GORGEOUS! Here is my best friend Adriane and her beautiful family! We almost couldn’t get our crazy busy schedules to match up to get these photos done this year! I’m so glad we did though!
We have been through so much together these past few years, so when Adriane told me this past year that she was moving across town, my heart literally shattered! It has been a huge adjustment for both of us and our families. We went from seeing each other almost daily to not even seeing each other once a week sometimes! No matter how far away she is, though, she will always be super special to me. She knows me like many people do not! She knows that I am super psycho when it comes to certain things. If I tell her that I will be somewhere at 4pm, she knows that I will really be there at 3:45pm. She also knows that if I am running late, which is really “on-time” to the rest of the world, that I am probably in my car speeding and having a panic attack! She knows that I am a very quiet and shy person, which the rest of the world sometimes mistakes for snobbery. She knows that my love for Starbucks goes beyond addiction. She knows that I am a crier…whether happy, mad or frustrated.
I know that she is one of the best mother’s I have ever seen, an amazing wife, an amazing cook, and a great friend. I also know that she doesn’t like to ask people for help, but if you ask her for anything, she is there in an instant. She spent all last fall babysitting for me, while I was building my photography business. She was the one that showed up with a ton of groceries for my family when I was in the hospital. She also listened to my nonstop complaining for almost a year of being sick, without telling me to shut up already! She was there when I found out that my mom had cancer, and she knew exactly what I was going through because she had just gone through it with her dad. She also is the only person on this earth that knows that she could buy me wrinkle cream for my birthday and I wouldn’t be offended!
She always knows what to say, and she will also tell me what I need to hear, even if it’s not what I want to hear. That is a true friend! If it were not for her, I would probably not be blogging here today. She was the one that pushed me to believe in myself. Still to this day, when I am feeling lacking in my ability, she is there lifting me up and pushing me forward. I only hope that I have been half the friend to her that she has been to me. Love you girly!
and then I found myself thinking…. oh how I love these freckles……
and how I never want to forget these eyes…
or these amazingly long lashes….
So happy that I took 5 minutes, to remember my son and this beautiful stage in his life! Toothless, chapped lips, freckled-faced beautiful boy!
