My gorgeous sister was is going to a wedding tomorrow. She was trying on her dress when I saw her. I grabbed her for an impromptu session. Check out how beautiful she is.
And she was not even trying… *sigh* so pretty

I am strong. I am very, very strong. I guess there must be a reason some of my relatives dubbed me the Iron Lady [yep, and I found out just recently]. But as I was packing tonight and saw my Mom’s lovely face ache with concern, seeing that she does not want us to go, my heart shattered into a million little pieces. Yes, Mom, I am leaving… again. And, yes, my heart it torn and I want to run up to you and squeeze you so hard and never let you go. I want to hold you in my arms and thank you for every breath of happy childhood, for the great example you have been to me, for being my hero and my model. I wanted to be just like you growing up, and now that I am grown I find that I have become what I wanted–just like you in so many ways. And it hurts, oh so deeply, to think that I will miss out on moments of your life and my time with you… but I have to go. I love you. I will hold you tight, but I shall not worry you with my tears. I will hide them, as long as I can, and say a prayer, asking God to glue my heart back together gently. I don’t mind the cracks in it, I don’t want it to be perfect, but I do want it to my just like yours.
How can I not ache looking at this majestic and lovely face?
Always thinking about us, always wanting to take care of us… even when you can no longer endure standing on your feet for long…
What would I be without you? My love, my hero, my Mother! I shall miss you so ever much…

Hello, friends. As you know already, my hubby and I are moving to Ohio this week. I am working like a mad woman packing up our belongings, marking boxes and taking deep breaths in between.
I did not think that the time will fly this quickly and the reality of leaving family and friends here is starting to hit me. In 6 days we will board the plane and will land in Columbus. But for now I have to breathe, breathe, and breathe deeply. [this morning my lovely Mom already had a crying moment and it was so hard to get through it… what am I going to do when we have to say goodbyes?]
Meanwhile, our mover is coming this Friday to pick up our things, including my PC [ouch!]. So, if you try to get a hold of me in the next week and hear nothing back, fear not—I will get back to you as soon as we settle in and unload. First things to get set up will be: our bed, kitchen and computer 
[in that order]. I will take my time with everything else [NOT!].
I also have two more fabulous weddings to photographer before boarding the plane and cannot wait to see the beautiful couples!
If you are in or around Columbus, hit me up and we will arrange a meeting!
Talk to you all next week!
I learned that chopsticks can be used in more than one way

I spent most of the day peeling ripe organic fruit so it can be frozen to be used later on, when the season is over. I got a huge box of oranges, peaches, mangoes, cantaloupes and other delicious fruit. While I was peeling and cutting the juices were running over my hands and, I think, it marinated me , so I am pretty sweet
Have a fabulously sweet Sunday!
{how about this sweet looking honeycomb? local and organic!}
