Jessica had her Senior pictures taken on Tuesday, August 18th, my Mother's birthday. She would have been the big 70 if she were still with us. I continue to live for the both of us and get all of the joy out of the big and little moments that happen; grandchildren, children graduating and becoming adults and everything in between. We had one of those moments last week.....
Jess had a great session and we loved our photographer, Amy. For some of the pictures, we went down by the river in Eagle. There are so many good photo-ops there and we were taking advantage of them. It was fairly busy, as it was almost 100 degrees that day; there were people all over taking advantage of the water.
Just as she was getting ready for another picture, I turned and here comes this handsome young man in a swim suit carrying a pink hydrangea. His two friends were in the background, smiling anxiously. As I moved over for him to get to Jessica, he said, "We thought you should have this."
What a moment. Three cute guys! They had been watching most of the shoot. As they walked away, I said to the photographer, "picture!" and she hurriedly got one of them as they walked away. Jess then posed with the flower and they cheered from a distance.
It was a moment that every Senior girl should have.
Jess is kicking herself for not finding out their names and what school they go to.
I am kicking myself for not telling them, "Thank you for appreciating a modest daughter of God and making her day."
Happy Holidays!

What a great story. She is a beauty.
Oh that pink shirt with the flower is perfect! Jess is so pretty, but I'm kicking her too for not getting their names!
I can see so much of you in her! So...did they get her number?
Those young men sound so sweet. They know how to make a girls day, they know girls love flowers, and they gave from their heart.
I'm glad Jessica had that memorable experience. It is a moment Every girl should have!
