Texture Tuesday | Heaven Sent Children’s Adoption Agency

Posted in Adoption, Texture Tuesday

A few of weeks ago, I had the amazing opportunity to donate some of my time and photography to our AH-mazing adoption agency, Heaven Sent Children.  Our ever fabulous Social Worker, Stephanie, said they were looking for some fresh pictures to use on their website, Facebook, and printed materials.  I was so glad that I was able to help them out.  So one morning, a few weeks ago, 9 kiddos and their families all came over to my backyard for some pictures! It was such a fun morning, but I sure needed a nap afterwards! It was so fun meeting all of these great families that have started and grown their families through adoption.  It made me so happy and excited! It was great connecting with other adoptive families, and I was so happy that I could be able to do this for them! So today, I just wanted to share some of these families that I got to meet, some amazing parents and their kiddos, all connect by Heaven Sent Children! Happy Tuesday!

Lebanon & Murfreesboro, TN Wedding Photographer | The White Room Stylized Shoot

Posted in Weddings

A few weeks ago, with my great friend, Wendy Hardin, we got to help out the wonderful Bridal Store- The White Room– do a stylized wedding photography shoot! Oh my goodness! It was so much fun! It really helped me realize that sometimes I just need to get out, shoot what I want, and just have fun with it! It was such an amazing experience to get to know the owners, Melanie and Erica, of The White Room too. We had the most beautiful, sunny afternoon, at an amazing location, lots of fabulous ladies (and a couple of men), and many stunning dresses.  We had such great vendors to help out with flowers, hair, make up, and location.  Overall such an amazing experience, and I think we all made a great team! I cannot wait till next time! Take a look at my favorites from the wedding stylized shoot!


Vendors that made this all possible!

Venue- Tomlinson Farm (Lebanon)

Dresses- The White Room (stores both in Lebanon & Murfreesboro)

Hair & Make Up- Asante (Lebanon)

Florist- Fresh by CarryAnn

Texture Tuesday | A New Goal?

Posted in Personal, Texture Tuesday

So way back in April 2010, I accomplished one of my goals.  One of those goals that I always wanted to do but I didn’t know for sure if I would actually be able to do it.  I ran a 1/2 marathon.  I ran it in 2:32, and my goal was under 2:30.  Close, but I wanted to do better! I have never been a fast runner (and I am okay with that!), but last year I ran often with my friend, Chesley.  She is a pretty speedy runner and that is great! It makes me want to push harder and run faster, so I love running with her.  Well I haven’t done another race SINCE 2010… I got a little burned out on running, was ,work two jobs, and trying to figure out what God wanted our family to look like, so running took the back seat.  And I missed it.

So over the last year I have been running. I started with the Couch to 5k program last summer, just to help me ease into running again. Moved from that to training for a 10k.  Met that goal. Then started training for a 15K… well, then I got super sick, like kicked my booty, couldn’t run a mile afterwards, sick.  So frustrating! So now, here I am. Waiting for our Little Guy to get to come home.  I need a project.  A goal.  That will keep me focused on something other than WAITING! I know this won’t completely distract. That would be impossible, but just something to add into my routine to help pass the time.

So back in 2010 I said I never wanted to run another 1/2 marathon, BUT here I am.  Contemplating it… trying to decide if I want to commit and train for the Women’s 1/2 Marathon on September 28, 2013.  So on this Texture Tuesday… I am being indecisive… Can I set this new goal?

Lebanon & Nashville, TN Adoption Photography | Happy Birthday to our Little Guy

Posted in Adoption, Personal, Texture Tuesday

Yesterday, 6,900 miles away, our little Davis turned one year old. Today, we celebrate!

This week I have felt like I have been on a complete roller coaster.  Dipping between happy, sad, happy, sad, and happy again.

I am so thankful that Davis is alive! And healthy and growing! But my heart breaks that I don’t get to spend this special day with him. So thankful that this will be our only birthday apart.

While this feels like a Texture Tuesday post on a Thursdau, I couldn’t let this day pass without celebrating in someway. I want him to be able to look back on this day, many years down the road, and know that even before we knew him ,we loved him! And celebrated him! And cherished his birth!

He is certainly worth celebrating his life.

He already is such a part of our family.  He has grandparents, great-grandmother, aunts and uncles, great aunts and uncles, and cousins all are more than ready to welcome him into our family. It is such a wonderful and breathtaking thing.

Oh I love our little boy.  Our perfect, precious Davis Grey.

(designed by The Wood Collection)

We love you so much!

Texture Tuesday | God’s Graces

Posted in Adoption, Personal, Texture Tuesday

The last several weeks have been tough.  Every day is one day closer to our little guy, but each day gets a little harder to wait. A little harder to be patient.  A little harder to trust God’s timing.  But God showed me grace yesterday.  He showed me that he is being the parent for our little guy while we wait.  So today’s Texture Tuesday is a little short.  But here are a few things:

1. We got new pictures!!!! He has grown a bit and his hair has gotten longer! We got to see a slobbery grin, and my heart just melted!!

2. The South Korean government is moving along, which is great news! And the first batch of families have been submitted to court.

3. We are pretty sure that we will be in the second batch to get submitted to family court!!! Not 100%, but it looks like that!

4. We still have NO idea when we will get to travel.

5. Thankful for God showing me his little face.  He knew my heart needed it!!

Keep the prayers coming that things will continue to move along quickly!
