2014 - Big Changes Coming

With the baby stage behind us we were ready for a new adventure. Because as you know by now, we can't do life without big adventures! 2014 was a big year! Mostly it was the anticipation of what was next. I was finishing up my thesis and we knew big changes were upon us. Considering the options (California, Austria, or Sweden) we knew a big move was upon us.

This was the summer that I left you with 2 kids and crossed the country to hike the 14ers in Colorado. I also left you with 2 kids alone when I went to Boston. I see a theme. But besides that! We had a great year together. Desi came and we traveled a lot with her.

By November, we knew our time in Cincinnati was coming to a close. After Thanksgiving I went to Boston where I was offered a position. We cleared out the house. By December we sold all of our worldly belongings. In less than a month, January, we were left with an empty house and 9 suitcases. Off to Sweden.

What I really love about you looking back at this year was how strong you were when I needed you the most. We faced an unknown future and you faced it with me with excitement and nervousness and you dreamed big with me.

Joe and Heather

What an incredible time celebrating with Joe and Heather. And who would have thought that a rainy April morning day could have turned into such a beautiful afternoon. Which is good because I promised Heather sun! I can’t begin to say how much fun we had with the whole group at the reception. So much fun! Here are a few shots of the day. These next pictures are my favorites, the dress was amazing and that bouquet was out of this world! And I’m not kidding - right before Heather walked down the aisle, a beam of light from the majestic church broke its way through the window and followed Heather all the way down. I just turned off my flash and let Heather and her spotlight work the magic. Ha! Cracks me up. This reception was a party! Thank you so much you two for letting us be a part of your day! We hope you enjoy the pictures!

Michael & Melissa

Congratulations to Michael and Melissa for getting married last Friday! A beautiful wedding held in Loveland, Ohio. The Catholic church was modernly ornate and the Old Montegomery Inn was a perfect place to host the reception. I loved watching Michael and Melissa together. Their love for each other was evident to all. And Melissa has such a joyful laugh mixed with Michael's pleasant and outgoing personality, taking these pictures was such a pleasure. Michael and Melissa, I hope that these pictures will serve as fond memories. I know we will not forget this incredible wedding.

Redefining Love through Deformity

You never know what to expect when you walk into situations that are extremely uncomfortable and not ordinary. Such as walking into a special need orphanage containing mental and physical disabilities you have never encountered before in your life. Of course you always first walk in and act like nothing is wrong with them and that you can talk to them like they are normal, but the fact of the matter is, you can't, and that isn't to discriminate but is just a fact. You walk in and you are totally shocked that actual disabilities like this exist. You wonder how they can live like that, for that is all they have ever known. Luz y Vida is enormous. They have like 5 levels of bedrooms and rooms with various rooms equipped to handle the various needs of the children. They have the biggest kitchen with vegetables that they grow from a farm that they own. They have all these tunnel ways that weave to and fro throughout the place taking you around like a maze. They have a courty...
