I just spent the extended weekend in North Carolina with my family {minus my brother…miss you, Kent!} at my sister and bro-in-law’s. I thought I’d wrap it up with a little blog love since I’ve been way too absent.

I’m going to be blowing up your feeds with new blog posts and all my sessions for the end of summer through present day in the next couple weeks, but before that I was just thinking about “thankfulness”.

Why we only really focus on it once a year is what I don’t get…and so maybe that’s why I don’t really get thanksgiving as a ‘holiday’ because I want to be thankful EVERY day. And just a few things I’m currently thankful for:
-a roof over my head
-a couple jobs that pay the bills and then some
-family that backs my decisions and loves me for me
-friends that are more like family than anything else, help me stay sane, giggle with me about stupid things, get my ridiculous sense of humor {or at least accept my ridiculous sense of humor haha}, and would go to the ends of the earth for me – and getting to feel the same about them
-photography – a passion I feel lucky to have and be good at + clients who agree and have become more than clients…friends!
-and so. much. more…

I hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend full of friends and family and lots of love. And I hope you’re thankful for it EVERY day and not just one weekend a year…because it’s really easy to get caught up on all the CRAP and forget the simple and amazing things in life.
