Adoption photos!

I haven't really had a chance to put it out there yet, but I am doing photos to raise funds for the adoption! I have already been busy with appointments without advertising the fundraiser :)

Same deal as before:
$50 for one hour, with all proofs on disk. Family, Seniors, Children, Engagement... just let me know what you need! It's a great deal to get the photos you want AND help bring Annie HOME :)

Email me to set up an appointment or ask any questions you may have!
Thanks, ya'll!

So sweetly true.

"I am the child that looks healthy and fine. I was born with ten fingers and toes.
But something is different, somewhere in my mind, And what it is, nobody knows.
I am the child that struggles in school, Though they say that I'm perfectly smart.
They tell me I'm lazy -- can learn if I try -- But I don't seem to know where to start.
I am the child that won't wear the clothes which hurt me or bother my feet.
I dread sudden noises, can't handle most smells, And tastes -- there are few foods I'll eat.
I am the child that can't catch the ball And runs with an awkward gait.
I am the one chosen last on the team And I cringe as I stand there and wait.
I am the child with whom no one will play -- The one that gets bullied and teased
I try to fit in and I want to be liked, But nothing I do seems to please.
I am the child that tantrums and freaks Over things that seem petty and trite.
You'll never know how I panic inside, When I'm lost in my anger and fright.
I am the child that fidgets and squirms Though I'm told to sit still and be good.
Do you think that I choose to be out of control? Don't you know that I would if I could?
I am the child with the broken heart Though I act like I don't really care.
Perhaps there's a reason I'm made this way -- Some message I'm sent to share.
For I am the child that needs to be loved And accepted and valued too.
I am the child that is misunderstood. I am different - but look just like you."

This reminded me SO SO much of our sweet Cale man.

THRILLER!

This is, by far, the coolest thing I've ever done professionally.

Pretty gruesome, huh?
(btw, the pink hair isn't part of the costume :) It's for breast cancer awareness in honor of my dear friend, Traci)
Brynn keeps telling everyone her mommy is a monster.

I got to perform the "Thriller" dance, in full costume and makeup, in front of 4,000 people on Monday. Pretty much a dream come true. I used to watch that video over and over and over!

IT.WAS.AMAZING.

They brought in THE best Michael Jackson impersonator there is; he was incredible.

The guests were up against the stage screaming for us, taking pictures, going craaaazy. Unbelievable.

It was a lot of work for a 2 minute performance, but it was worth every second!

There is a video and professional performance photos out there somewhere, and I am just dying (heh) to get my hands on them!
