My support

I don't usually post anything too personal on my blog or in fact anywhere else.  I am a pretty private person who has just recently embraced "social media".  I do however feel the need to say a few words about a person, who besides my mom, has been behind me every step of the way.  For those who know me very well they know that I can come up with the most outrageous and sometimes out of this world ideas or things that I want to do.  Not crazy in the college type of fun sense, but crazy as in deciding on a Thursday night that I want to leave the country for a few days and having no problem driving to the airport without any luggage and hopping on a plane.  


Thankfully I have him, my husband, in my life.  He keeps me grounded and well planted in the ground but he also allows me to be me.  I sometimes think that if I came home and told him I wanted to chase a rainbow all the way to the pot of gold he would get in the car with me to wherever I thought I was going.  Being very different from me (actually totally the opposite), I have been amazed how he has embraced who I am.  We have actually learned from each other and in the 8 years together I have become more grounded and mature and he has loosened up and had a thought or two about chasing a rainbow himself.  


He supported me in my decision to stay home raising our children because I decided one day that it was what I was supposed to be doing.  And he has supported me in my desire to go into photography, learn everything there is to know and figure out what it is that I want to do with it.  He comes with me on my sessions, carries my equipment, entertains all of my clients (the children LOVE him), and he listens to my hour rants about what I have learned and what I want to do (even though I know he is not in the least bit interested in photography).  


As a matter of fact, we all have days where we doubt ourselves and question the decisions we have made.    I am blessed that I have him to help me through these days and support me in my crazy dreams.
