Wildflowers Workshop

I just got back from the most amazing photography workshop ever! It was more than learning camera equipment, lighting, and editing. It was a group of 20 amazing women from around the US. There is so much I learned and took away from the past couple of days. Much more than I ever imagined I would and trust me, my expectations were HIGH. Women are incredible beings. I roomed with a clone of one of my best friends. We clicked. I was inspired by a 22 year old and to me she was a "baby." We stayed up talking and shared beds with each other. Before the retreat we only knew each others names. It was peaceful. It was magical. I am a new person because the past three days. There is so much I want to share and I do plan to, but right now I have to sign off and do my job...be a mother to an incredible little girl that I want to help develop and mold into a fascinating woman. Joy Prouty, the facilitator of the workshop shared this video and made me cry. I want Lexi to see this when she is older and know this is how I feel about her:

kindergarten boxcar parade

Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work." I frowned and moved on. I didn't think much about it until the other day. I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball. Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi." I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping. Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
