Today I am thankful for my partner in life.
•-•
He makes me a better wife, business owner, dog mom, and human. Life is better and easier when you have someone by your side supporting you endlessly. I couldn’t be where I am today without his help and encouragement. And I hope I can do the same for him everyday! Making our dreams happens together. Thank you @thebutlerswoodshop for always being there even when I’m impossibly stubborn and being a turd and not wanting your help and helping me anyway! 14326474!

I’m thankful for warmth & heat (body and propane).
As we jump head first into colder weather it’s important to remember (especially this year) that many people will be without heat of any kind. So the best thing we can do is give. Give blankets, give new coats or clothing to those in need. Let’s show humanity that we can finish off this year with more love, togetherness (figuratively), peace, and giving than we started it off with.

I am thankful for my job.
I don’t think I can put into words just so much I am grateful that I have been apart of documenting over 500 couple’s love stories over the last 12 years.
So many hugs shared, tears wiped away, sleepless nights working, tens of thousands of photos taken, and a million unforgettable moments.
I am thankful for each and everyone of you and that I still have many years ahead of me to continue on this dream job!

I’m thankful for the sun!☀️
•-•
For pretty much my whole life up to 2020, I have been a sufferer of seasonal depression. Growing up in Washington, especially western Washington, I don’t see the sun nearly as much as I should. I grew up close to a rainforest for crying out loud, I’ve seen like 10 sunny days in my life! (Obviously over exaggerating but you get it.)
•-•
Realizing that like most people, I have an insane vitamin D Deficiency. And now that we are on the edge of winter and for many places in the world it’s full blown winter already, I’m glad that I can be in a place that has more sunshine!
•-•
I’m not trying to brag about my ability to travel and follow the warmth. But to give thanks that for (hopefully) the first time in my life, I won’t feel seasonal depression and can find some peace in these next few months. Here’s hoping!

I’m thankful for friends.
I have made a lot of the last year, even through a pandemic. It’s like now that we’re all going through this together it had made us stronger and seek connection however we can. I for one miss going out for drinks, giving hugs, car rides, and coffee dates. But I know that when this is all over, it will be worth it! But until then, I’m glad I can stay connected with my friends however I possibly can!

The wildfires in Washington feel like forever ago. I am thankful that both Washington and Oregon are no longer on fire. Hopefully California will be fully out soon as well. But at least we are past the worst of it!
