Well friends, this week has started off a good one.......

Well friends, this week has been a good one. It started off cold and cloudy but today the sun is out and warmth is in the air. It appears Springtime is back, hopefully for good! This week is a new beginning for me. Out with the old and in with the new. Because of the blessings of my family and friends I am carefully putting one foot in front of the other and starting fresh. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful it feels, and the sense of calm and security that I feel. It is wonderful. Regardless of the long hours it takes getting everything up and running with new businesses and schoolwork , it will well be worth it in the long run. Well, enough about that. On to the bigger and much more beautiful things. My friends Emily and Richard. I have known Richard for several years now. He plays in a local band I adore, Five-O. Emily is a precious gem that I worked with and I just had a sneaking suspicion they might hit it off. So, introductions between the two I made sure were to quickly happen- and what do you know, less than a year later they are engaged to be married this June and I could not be more excited for these two! This past Saturday my husband and I met them in downtown Birmingham for a day of photograph taking fun. They were they most adorable couple in the world. Constantly laughing and holding hands and just smiling at each other the entire day. We walked all over and even hopped a train or two to catch the perfect shots of these two. I am honored to be able to share with you the Future Mr. and Mrs. Powell.
