Jen.
One of my best friends from long ago.
The kind of friend who you can not talk to for four and a half years and still feel like nothing has changed.
Yet, so much has changed in both of our lives since those care free days of....singing Def Leopard in my car, serving tables at Bontels, bonfires, sleepovers, silly boys, dances and football games.
Although a year younger than me in school, she has always been a wise friend. One to turn to for sound advice. Honest advice.
She looks at the world differently than I do at times. She helps me to see things from a different perspective. She is grounded.
It has been amazing to see my dear friend graduate from college, get a masters degree, become a great wife and an amazing mother. Although I don't get to talk to Jen as often as I once did (or would like to!), she is still the same easy-to-talk-to, down to earth friend she once was.
It makes me so happy to see you so happy Jen!
PS-I'm so coming to visit you!
Jen was asking what I do to edit a photo. I often give clients several options on their CD of the same photo. The above is obviously the B&W option. Below is my color/edited version that gives the picture a little bit of boost. The last photo is what I got straight out of my camera before any edits were made (now you can see why the editing process is so important!).

I love E's precious face in this one! What a sweet smile :).
