In hopes for spring...and wings...

Welp, right now it's a beautiful and sunny 36 degrees.  Only a slight wind.  This weather has me confused because only 2 days ago it was -3 or something like that.  Oh well, Florida awaits me soon!  That's right!  I am taking a trip to sunny Florida to visit the folks and do a few sessions.  How exiting to get my name out there :)  I also hope to make a pit stop in Georgia..woohoo!  The kids can't wait to see Omi and Papaw again.  

In hopes of spring, about a couple weeks ago I let the kids make some caterpillars.  They are so stinkin' cute!  As I thought more about the caterpillar I was/am amazed at the metamorphic changes that happen in a cocoon.  Gooey and claustrophobic, I feel like I am in a cocoon and that I have changed and am being changed not only in my photography but also as a wife...a mother....and as a person.  It's been painful these last few months but I am learning and am SO excited for what awaits me ahead!  I may inevitably be a "pupa" waiting for my wings, but I do know this...As long as I learn from my mistakes, keep a humble heart and have joy in the process of my growth, I'll be alright :)
