I've hired a personal photographer to document my life. Her name is Brittany.

You know my friend Brittany, right?  Well, shortly after I met Brittany one of the first things I found out about her is, she takes incredible pictures. So much so, that I often would ask her, "have you ever thought of doing that professionally?" Apparently, I wasn't the only one asking her that question...

So, she pulled the trigger, and started For His Glory. 

Last night she was headed to her in-laws house in Muhlenberg County to take pictures of Blake's cousin, and she sweetly invited us along. Once Pierce got out of school, we drove for an hour, but ended up in a little piece of paradise!! They live on a farm, and it was gorgeous! My kids had the best time. And Since Brittany is a great photographer, I end up with these awesome pictures of my kids. So I've decided I'm going to take her everywhere just to document my every move. My own personal photographer following me around in Wal-Mart, the BMV, the pick up line at school. That wouldn't be too much, would it? :) 

Pierce, Hope, Layton and Clay. 

Just something about being out in the country, that seems to bring the best out in children, you know? They find the joy in the most simple of things, like playing with water in a bucket.

Or swinging on a swing, that is incredible! This swing was awesome, I even took a ride. I felt like I might touch the sky.

After the kids had played their hearts out, Joy (Brittany's mother in law) fed us a meal of chicken and dumplings, green beans, apples, homemade chocolate pie, chocolate chip cookies, and oatmeal raisin cookies. I think the kids were in shock, have we died and gone to heaven mommy? No kids, you've just a woman who knows how to use her stove properly.

Country living sure can be appealing, but I would without a doubt, miss the mall.

But back to my personal photographer, please check out some of these pictures she took of my Hope.

Thank you, Brittany! I will treasure these forever!!!! If you are in the area, check her out, you will not be disappointed!
