A few more Thank you's!

 Sara Rogers and I have worked on a couple of weddings, she was the photographer and I was the videographer.  I enjoyed working with her so I asked her to shoot a family photo of Steve, Olivia and me.  I had every intention of paying her but at the end of the session she said it was her gift to me.  Sara thank you from the bottom of my heart ... these pictures will be cherished forever.  Here is the link to all our pictures and the ones below are some of my favorites.

Me and Sara

To help get me ready for the photoshoot were two of my best friends Crystal and Emily.  We went out for lunch, we got manicures, pedicures and they helped me pick outfits, shoes and accessories for this photoshoot.  I wanted to keep with the theme for breast cancer awareness so we all had on PINK.   Crystal and Emily also gave me a special gift.  A beautiful pandora bracelet.  Each of the charms has their own meaning.  (Best Friends, Hope, Love and Faith, Olivia's birth stone, Steve and my anniversary stone, the breast cancer symbol, inner strength and forever together)  I had Sara take a picture of the bracelet because my camera didn't do it any justice.

I have known Crystal and Emily since high school and they have both been my roommates in college.  I turn to these two when I need a shoulder to cry on, vent and most important have a good time.  Crystal and I have started the tradition of going to Chicago every year to visit Emily but since I can't go this year, Emily flew up the weekend before my surgery and plans to fly up again when I start my chemotherapy.  I can't describe what I am feeling in words because I get so emotional when I think of how generous you have both been to me.  Thank you so much for your friendship and please know that your kindness will never be forgotten. I will wear the bracelet until I am old and grey when my boobs will still be perky... and yours...will not. j/k!!!  =)

 I LOVE YOU!!!
