Turkey Day! Albums! Football!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I hope all of you are having a quiet Sunday spending it however you like!  Thanksgiving is just a few days away.  With that, for those who follow college football, you know what that means...the Longhorn vs. Aggie game!  I have my favorite but mostly, I am looking forward to a close game!  That way it will at least be exciting until halftime.

Well, my last post had me ready to go to Kristina and Daryl's wedding.  What a wedding it was!  The pictures turned our great!  A beautiful hill country sunset also added a nice spice to them.  The Terrace Club in Dripping Springs was an excellent choice for the outdoor ceremony and indoor reception.  Texas in November always leaves a question mark as to what the weather will be.  For their wedding, it could not have been better.

I also have met with Brent and Sande for the wedding album consultation.  The photos they chose for their album were good choices!  I of course have seen all of their wedding photos and spent several hours looking at them after the wedding. The photos they chose however, reminded me of how elegant and fun their wedding was!

I pause for just a moment to do something I normally do not do, and that is to really highlight one of my services (I'm feeling inspired). With Brent and Sande's album and with each one I have prepared for my clients before I am reminded of the huge value that an investment into an album is.  Brent and Sande's wedding is only a couple of months old yet it is amazing how moments from the wedding  slip just beneath our consciousness so quickly.  Even for me who is concentrating on every minute and attempting to capture so many of them, the moments eventually fade.  When I was going through the photos that Brent and Sande chose for their album there were several photos that had me laughing again.  Imagine for a moment opening your wedding album 5,10,15,20,25 years from now and having so many special moments come to life again on the pages of your album.  If cared for properly your wedding album will outlive your grandchildren and pass down your legacy for generations to come.

All that being said, our albums are still completely optional and you can choose to invest in one at any time.

Back to Thanksgiving for a moment....as this short work week comes and goes, I challenge each of you pause for 5 minutes.  Go somewhere without any distractions, close your eyes if you need to (this would rule out doing this while driving) and reflect on the things that you are deeply thankful for.  If you are having trouble coming up with anything, try appealing to a higher power to reveal some things to you.  If you are sincere, I think you may be surprised at what comes to mind.

Have a safe week, God Bless, and GO Horns (oops, that last one just slipped out)!
