3 Year Anniversary Trip to Disney!

I know, I know.. late once again.  We went on our anniversary trip to Disney more than a month ago.  Finally, here are some of the pictures.  We went to Epcot the first day and Hollywood Studios the second day... but only felt like carrying around the camera for one day. 
We had the most perfect time.  Perfect weather and perfect company.  I was so happy to have that special time with my husband before his surgery.  Can't wait till we can go back!  I could live at Disney World.



Like my Minnie ears?



I get excited over the small things.  This is one of the boats holding the fireworks for later that night.  I always wondered what that looked like!

The only picture we have together..  and I love it.

Overlooking half of the World Showcase.

Eating at the bakery in France is a MUST!!!!!!!
I didn't have the best view of the fireworks, but it was beautiful!! 

Thanks for indulging me in my anniversary pictures.  For real, I wish we had a photographer to follow us around, so we could have pictures of us together!  Maybe one day.
Honey, you are the glue that holds me together.  Thanks for putting up with me for the past three years.  You are amazing, and such an inspiration.  I love you with all of my heart, and can't imagine my life without you.  I am so blessed to have you as my husband!!!  LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Boudoir with Mrs. "J"

This is my first boudoir shoot, and I couldn't be happier.  I love, love, love this girl.  "J" is totally and utterly gorgeous and confident.  And I felt anything but, while standing on the bed in my unmatching socks, but we had a good laugh.  Infact, we laughed a lot.  Fun, sexy (and unsexy) girl time!!  Thanks so much "J"!!

Transplant day !

As I type this, my husband is receiving a kidney from our wonderful donor/friend/hero Sandy.  It's so hard to imagine this is going on right now.. today.. at this exact moment.  It's so hard to imagine that someone is so willing to go through this, to give up a part of their body for another person.  I'm finding it very difficult to find words that would match my emotions.  I feel it in my heart and throat.  I feel like it's going to explode.  I'm crying, but not sad tears.  I'm nervous, but good nervous.  I want to scream, cry, dance and hug everyone in this waiting room.  Almost 3 years now, we've been waiting and waiting for this day.  It's here.  Can you believe it?  My husband is going to have a new and improved life, thanks to this amazing hero, Sandy.

I'll keep my blog updated about this process, but for now, I want to thank Sandy first and foremost.  I owe you my life.  I will forever be in gratitude of you.  You are my hero on so many levels.  Thank you, thank you, thank you. 

I also want to thank Sandy's life partner, and Bryan's aunt Linda.  What you are willing to go through, as well as Sandy, is incredible.  Thank you for your willingness, paitence and and sacrifice.  You two are just super amazing people..  again words can't express how thankful I am for the both of you.

Thanks to Bryan's family keeping me sane, and always being there.  Thanks to my mom for flying down from New Orleans and being my support. 

Thanks to every single person who has said even one prayer, or wished one good thought our way.  Every kind word is etched in my heart.  I can't fathom how many people have been praying for this.  We are one blessed family to have so many wonderful friends and family.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
