Full of Emotions

I have to give a quick shout-out to my AMAZING sister-in-law, Amy. She literally has the ability to do anything you wants to do. She has become a very professional photographer over the past few years and has quite the eye for it. I'm really touched right now, because she just posted a sample of the pictures she took of my family last Saturday. We are a very close family...I don't think anyone could argue that. Unfortunately, it has been a really long time since we've had our picture taken. We decided to get our pictures taken on the one day that we would all be together. My aunt Amy (not the photographer) got sealed to her husband PJ on Saturday. We all wondered if we were crazy to think we could do it all in one day. It got a bit stressful planning it. But right now, it's clear to me that the Lord had every intention of us doing it exactly the way we did it because he knew we'd need this glimpse of happiness we felt that day. That day was full of emotions for me. When we arrived to get our pictures taken, I found out that my uncle John had to take an emergency flight home to be with his wife. She had had two seizures and it was discovered that she had a brain tumor the size of an orange. His family (and Kenny, of course) are the only people missing from our picture. After the rough few days we've had with everyday bringing an update of not-so-good news, it is such a breath of fresh air to look at these pictures. It broadens my perspective so much. I am reminded of why we are here and where our focus should be. The memories behind these pictures will always be emotional and very meaningful to me. It was the day someone very special to me became one step closer and I know that I can count on being next to her for eternity. I know that the Lord knew how important this memory would be for our family and made it possible for us to enjoy the moment.
