things that matter.

what a summer it has been...


25th birthday.

vacationing. just us.

father's day at the zoo.

a dad and his girls.

the first time taste of an oh-so-sweet Icee.

a first haircut!

a family day at the zoo.

a night out with my sister & a best friend.

As I reflected back on this summer I realized there were firsts, lasts, endings that created new beginnings, love lost, perfect strangers have become perfect friends, moments of complete silence amidst mutual understanding, tear inducing laughter, hugs, kisses, and "i love you's" galore. I realized that for the family, friends, love and devotion that I have in my life...

I am a lucky girl.
