Physically you can narrow us down to a pile of bones, pumping arteries and flowing blood but really, what we are made of is invisible. Our souls. However they may choose to wander, whatever they choose to be, that is what we consist of. And what an unbelievably, mind blowing experience to have two souls collide.
With butterflies soaring at the bottom of my stomach and my heart thumping deep in my chest, I look at him and still, after all this time, I just know that Travis' soul was made for mine. For Jane, it's always been Cole.
They met in high school and have been together in love for ten years. He stares at her, adoration glowing in his eyes. Throwing her head back in laughter, she teases him with a wispy piece of grass on his cheek. He smirks. Their eyes never stop smiling the entire time we are in the meadow.
You hold his perfect head to your chest inhaling that soft, new life fragrance. The airplanes made of pop cans sway from the ceiling in the nursery. Gently, you lie him in his crib on the quilt that your mom knitted for him the moment she found out the adoption was going through. Looking up at you, he makes a little gurgle sound. You laugh. Staring into his round innocent eyes, you wonder, will he be like you? You watch his eye lashes slowly flutter as he drifts into sleep.
You consciously try to take a mental picture of this very moment, wishing it could last forever.
Sigh. That's me dreaming of having a baby if you couldn't tell. I've said it before and I'm truly beginning to believe it, all these precious babies are inducing a fever in me. Baby fever. But alas, we cannot have a baby right now. No Ashley, no..
One of these precious little babies I've been cooing at is Wyatt, my cousin, Lisa's second beautiful baby boy. I am soo happy for you and Louie, Lisa! I can only imagine how wonderful it must be. :)
Oh hey there ol' Bloggity; it seems I may have to reintroduce myself. I'm Ashley and I've been ignoring you for two months. The world out there has taken me over with all of it's "do this-es & do thats.. and while you're at it, do these too." Although the sun has kissed my face and the beach has called my name, I've been like one of the seven dwarves, whistling whistling, working working. You see, Travis and my dreams have taken a huge turn. We want.. an apartment. Wait, what? We want an apartment?! Me, the girl that needs to be a bird out of a cage and Travis, well, exactly the same, have always dreamed of a cozy old home on rolling hills with dogs running amuck. We both still share this dream and I pray for it to come true.. one day. But right now, I want to be 22. I want to have the ability to not own a home for a bit, to not have to keep working and maintaining, I just want to be 22 in all it's 22-ness glory; travelling, working abroad, meeting new faces, experiencing, living. So for now, it's goodbye house, helllllllllllo beautiful world. But to do this, we need to sell our almost century-old, in need of some love, home which means work.
Since our home has been put priority 1, I haven't been as focused on my love of photography latley. However, I do believe I have a few shoots to post! Starting with a shoot of the fabulous Miss Hayden Magneison, my cousin's beautiful baby. With the most luscious eye lashes and all that bubbly personality shining through her wide grin, Hayden is an amazingly gorgeous little girl. Congratulations Karina, you are extraordinarily blessed as are your little girls to have you. :)
Stay posted for another shoot of a wonderfully cute baby.. Hayden's cousin, Wyatt!
PS. Anyone know why the above (should be) horizontal image of Hayden's wee little footsies, decided to flip vertically? I've refreshed my browser, reloaded, tried to change the image.. no worky.
