How Could I Ever Forget This One?

I put this on facebook and completely forgot to put it here. I am such a blog neglector (apparently, neglector is not a word. Psssh, whatever spell checker. I disagree). Maybe if my blog had farms and Mafias, like facebook, it wouldn’t be so easy to forget about. I can’t send people sheep and M16’s on my blog. Hmm, at least not yet…..

So, a couple of weeks ago, I got to shoot the homecoming for a man that I had done a deployed session for. I had already gotten to meet his beautiful wife, baby girl, sweet mom, and very energetic dog, so I was pretty excited for this one.

The scary part is…I almost missed it! Argh. Curse you AT&T and your crappy reception. If I didn’t love my iphone so much, you would be dead to me. Dead to me! Hrmph.

But with a little luck…and maybe some breaking of the speed limit…..I made it! Woo hoo!

This is Mari and baby Ailah waiting for daddy.

Woo hoo!

Ailah was a little overwhelmed by the whole situation. But there was a ton of people, a lot of commotion, and two big, loud buses.

As soon as the commotion died down, she was fine. 🙂

But! The homecoming wasn’t over yet…Friends and family were gathered at Indigo’s house to welcome him home.

And so was Sammie. 🙂

They hugged, said a prayer, had some cupcakes, and then disappeared…..no one wanted to be the third, or fifth…or 27th wheel.

    I will deny this if it ever gets brought up again, but this gave me chills, woman. You know what I think about this, but damn if you weren’t so good at these sessions! 🙂 PS What song is this?
