Especially for Megan

Well, I did #2 of my "Especially For You" gifts this past Saturday. This one is for my friend, Megan. I think Megan and I first met at the Institute of Religion Building across from the UW campus, where we both attend church. Both of our husbands are counselors in the Bishopric (lay clergy) of the Young Single Adult congregations here (there are 3 "student wards"). There, we would commiserate about pregnancy, as we both counted down the days until we each had our first baby (Sawyer and Hannah are 6 weeks apart). She understands what it's like to be sitting alone amidst a crowd of singles (because your husband is on the stand conducting the meeting), hugely pregnant, not wearing your wedding ring because your fingers are a little swollen, and have the visiting parents of a college student look at you like "oh, that must be the unlucky, unwed, about-to-be single mother in this group". Mmhmm. I won't say more other than: she understands. And I have been so grateful to have found a friend in her.

Well, Megan and her cute family are headed out on a new adventure - Chicago, here they come! SO...for Megan's gift...I wanted to take some pictures of her and her family so they could look back on this time in their lives with fondness - and show their little daughter that she was born in a beautiful place. Thus, family photos (and some awfully adorable almost-1-year photos of Hannah) to take with them on their new adventure. To see a few more, go here.

We'll miss you, Megan & family! I sure hope you like your photos, Especially For You: to remember.
