Featuring: Sarah at six.

...she and I have the same birthday.
...I've been shooting her precious face since she was two...
...her mom found me in an ad.
...since then...her mom is one of my "treasures"...that friend that you know you should have been friends with all your life, wonder how that wasn't possible and realize that you both will be friends for the rest of it, regardless.
...Sarah is the best big sister to two stinky little brothers...giggle.

I love your Princess Sarah, more than cupcakes.

Happy Thanksgiving. ;)

...there's a million stories my parents tell over and over. Back in 1979 a little blue eyed, jet black haired, olive skinned little girl made her way into this sweet world. She did so screamin', she did so with arms flairin'. She did so as well, one week late and nearly gave her own sweet daddy a heart attack as he almost missed the birth of his first born. When they put her on her mother's chest she grabbed tight to a simple gold necklace with a tiny little pearl on it and didn't let go... The rest...is history. That girl, well..she's still a week late and making a dramatic entrance, still the obvious worry and reason her daddy's heart keeps a tickin' and still..still loves things that glitter and shine. Some girls, some girls never change, they are infact ...born that way.
...Tonight, I bring you my Thanksgiving post. One week late. :) Drum roll...key the lights...your attention please...
giggle.

My point being...(get on with it, Moriah, huh! ha!). I'm late. There. I admitted it.Surprise Surprise. Though, I am still so very grateful. You see, I am much like many of you. My blessings overflow. My cup runneth over. My heart swells with so much love. Life, life is simply a gift and I am so very THANKFUL for that simple gift alone. I am so thankful for the chance to be a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a mother, a friend...
I have been given so much more than I ever did deserve in life already. I am so rich in blessings it almost makes me want to cry. So..I just suck it inside of me instead as being a cry girl has never been my thing nor having mascara run down my eyes much ever looked that great on me either...:) My riches, oh my oh my riches come in the form of family and friends. My entire pot of gold they dwell in! I truly and simply am thankful.


I am also oooooooh so sooooo thankful for being able to do what I love. I love being a photographer. Love love love it...:)
Thank you so much for allowing me to do what I love doing...

I'm thankful for so much more as well.
Things like...my favorite God...my only God...but you know and stuff. I love the big guy. Whom I do refer to as "the big guy"...:) Just sayin'...
Things like the chance to live in America, to send my children to a great school with wonderful teachers, to have a roof over my head and shoes on my feet, for an entire summer off watching my little boys play under the sunshine, for sunshine, for sundrop, speakin' of sun...ha...for being a Carolina girl and livin' in the greatest little town ever and for Sundrop all you can drink, for mexican food and sushi and cupcakes...ha., for a straight iron...that same baby was born with some curls, for phones that text so I never have to answer calls, for computers and ..well...I"m getting a little windy now huh! :) I'm thankful. Wrap it up. Cut the lights. Mute the music. She's done;. :)

I am simply, blessed.

Hope each of you had THE BEST THANKSGIVING Ever!
