Meet Ms. Gracie Blue

It's taken me a few weeks to prepare myself for this post. Even now, as I introduce you to the newest member of the Sparks-Curry family, it still makes me cry. You see, a few weeks ago we had to make one of the hardest decisions we have had to make. Our Little Bella Grace, our three year old, hyper as hell girl, had to be put down. To make a long story short, over the course of 12 hours, she lost the use of her back legs. She spent 4 days at the vet, but she never did regain any feeling. We could bring her home, keep her in her kennel for months, and HOPE for recovery - which the vet didn't think was likely. Instead, we opted to put her down and just hope we were doing what was in her best interest. Fast forward to now, and we have a new little pup, named Gracie Blue. She is just a few days short of 8 weeks old, and while no dog will ever replace Bella, this little girl has stolen our hearts.

Krysten and Jimmy {in love}

Last weekend I got to take some 'after the wedding' pictures of Krysten and Jimmy. I had so much fun. We walked around the gardens, totally stress free because we weren't under any time constraints, and just took pictures of the beautiful couple. Thank you both for allowing me to capture you and your love! And Krysten - if I ever hear you say the "h" word again, I am seriously going to kick your butt! :)

Ms. Hannah turns 16

I remember it like it was yesterday. Standing in your doorway, saying goodbye to your mamma and you, and you threw your arms around me, squeezed, and told me you loved me for the first time. It's hard to believe that was 8 years ago, and that you are already 16. Part of me wants to go back to when you were 8 - when you had more time to hang out, back when you thought I was cool. :) But another part of me is ok with you being 16 and DRIVING (really, driving), and being too busy to get ice cream, and all the stuff that goes along with being a teenager. You are such an amazing kid Hannah. To say I love you, well, it hardly touches the surface of how much I care about you. It would be humanly impossible to love you more than I do. I am so freakin proud of who you are, what you have accomplished, and who you are turning into. I am so excited to see where you will go in this world and all that you will do. I hope you know that know matter how grown up you become, or where this world takes you, I will always drop everything at the opportunity to take you for ice cream. Happy Birthday.
