It hurts my soul so deeply to see this country in the shape it is in. The Justice System....is flawed, to say the least. <br />

Ugh, ya'll. I really reeeeeeeally do NOT like being sick in the summer. Granted, no time is a good time for illness. But when it is hot outside and you feel like your death bed is around the corner....it's just so uncool. {that what <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/11/jennifer-aniston-on-angel_n_143044.html">she</a> said} </div>

Tragedies strike often. This is apart of our world...but when young, innocent children are involved, it makes that sting so much more. Some of the images I have seen tear me apart. </div>

<br />
But, right now, I want to show off some of the engagement pictures I captured in Austin, Texas at the beginning of March. This couple is adorable and these pictures came so easy for them....not alot of work on my part. That spells L.O.V.E. to me!!!! <br />
<br />
Enjoy!!! And please.....I'd love any and all feedback....the negative and the positive. I am still learning and I'd love to hear your opinions. <br />

His surgery was postponed last month because he developed kidney stones and an infection that he had to get rid of prior to surgery. He passed the kidney stones, which are mind numbing-ly painful. He just finished up his antibiotics. Tomorrow is surgery day. </div>

I really wanted to be with my mom while he was in surgery but I took off two days last month to be with them only for the surgery to get cancelled last minute. And now....here I sit at work. Work being insanely insane. I cannot be with her...</div>
