It's almost Friday so this particular Love Thursday post is cutting it pretty tight...but I had to post it!  I have been thinking about this post for days now.  A few days ago I had the pleasure of photographing two friends of mine.  They just got back from a life changing trip to San Francisco.  They finally got married.  I first met Ross and Tim shortly after I first met Steven (my husband).  They were a couple then and now, 10 years or so after I met them, they are married.  I am so excited about it.  I am excited because it is them and I love them.  They are great people and they are wonderful together.  I am also excited because it is the beginning of what I hope will become common in our society- marriage for everyone who wants it.  That to me is family values at its best- making committed families.  I can think of nothing better than two people putting all their hopes and dreams into one single basket, taking a huge amazing leap and saying to the world that they are here to stay, together.  It is one of the ultimate outward signs of hope.  Marriage is hard work.  Anyone who wants to step up to the table, heart in hand and promises ready, I applaud you.  So, give your heart some wings tonight, think about the ones that you love, the love promises that you have made and have some hope.  We are in a changing world and it is such an amazing thing to be a part of.

Love you Ross and Tim!
