Aaron just got home from a long-weekend guys’ trip to Mesquite, Nevada. Located about an hour north of Vegas, there’s not a lot to do there except play golf and spend time with good friends – and I think that’s exactly what they did.
While he was gone, I decided to attempt a little girls’-photo-shoot for E’s 4-year pictures. After all, I have a camera~! I should be able to accomplish this task all on my own without hiring a photographer, right?
Because we had some time to kill, I decided to drive out to an awesome spot in Litchfield Park – a good hour drive away but incredibly beautiful. This was the same spot as E’s 2-year photos. I just loved the green of this area, the perfect shade, the un-Arizona-ness of the spot.
So… we drove out there. And drove and drove and drove. Only to discover that the owners had gated up their private driveway and this oasis was no longer available for public use. Heartbreaking.
Instead, we found ourselves at a random neighborhood park in the middle of nowhere, deflated and exhausted (well, at least I was) but determined to still take some pictures. And for some reason, E has decided that modeling requires sticking her tongue out and giggling uproariously.
But who can deny joy like this…. Or the blue of her eyes….
I do love you, goofy girl. Thanks for hanging in there and teaching me AGAIN that life isn’t about where you are but who you’re with.
