Waiting for our Smoosh.

Well, the days are moving forward until we get to meet our little one.  The first day back from Spring Break was a little rough, but I'm glad to know that all of the classes I need to graduate from Temple are signed up for and God willing, I will be totally done this August!  Plenty of time to rest up and prepare for our little smoosh to join us.

Each day is a new adventure for us, it's great.  We are constantly wondering at how incredibly happy we are together!  The perception of marriage, especially in America, seems so hopeless, pointless.  We have both experienced many examples of this since last August - but it's still a surprise, somehow, to realize that we may actually be an exception to a norm.  We are hopelessly in love.  We love being together.  We are overjoyed for this little life we've created together and we are excited to get to know them.

I had a really pleasant surprise the other day - my mom told me that an old friend of the family found out about my pregnancy by reading this blog, which she follows regularly.  I have a reader!  I have at the very least, one whole reader!  Yay!!!

I know that the tone of this blog has changed a bit since I started it.  It used to be predominately directly photography related writing, and lately it has had more of a personal feeling.  Things in my life are changing - priorities, passions, interests.  I am finding more and more that the things that make me happiest are in my home, so you'll have to pardon me if I end up writing about them more often!  =)

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Dennery!

Saturday was a big day for me!  Nathaniel and I got up around 6:45 to get ready for our trip to Washington D.C. where we attended the vow-renewal ceremony of my cousin and her husband.  The service was absolutely beautiful and although I promised I wouldn't lose it, I did start crying halfway through!

We couldn't stay after the service because we had to get back home to Philly in time to shoot an old friend's wedding.  If Saturday was a big day for me, just think - Alyssa and Ted got married!

What a beautiful couple.  I don't think I'll ever get tired of shooting weddings - I love seeing the happiness and joy that two people share together.  Alyssa and Ted were absolutely glowing all day, it was amazing.  I was so honored to be able to document this big day in their lives!

Very Big News!

There is some very, very, very big news in our world these days - Nathaniel and I found out on Monday that we are going to have a baby!!!!!

We are incredibly happy and excited and we can't wait to meet this new person.  They've only existed for a few short weeks and already I'm hopelessly in love with them.  We actually planned to try the night before the March for Life - it seemed appropriate.  So we are just indescribably happy to know that there is a life growing right now and it's our responsibility to love and take care of him or her.
