I always loved that Stereofuse song, “Everything.”  The lyrics are about a girl who is loved.  A girl who has a man in her life that would give her everything. A girl who just happens to be born on the 14th of July…

I remember you do you remember me too
Born on the 14th of July the smell of roses made her cry
And though you’re going far from home rest assured you’re not alone

‘Cause I would give everything that I own
I’d give you my heart and this skin and these bones
The sun the moon the earth the sky I’d never even stopped to wonder why
I would do anything
I would give everything
to be your everything

Now I don’t know if all the people in my life would give me everything, but I do know that the people in my life give me A LOT.  I have THE best family, friends, boyfriend, and clients on this planet. I thank God so very often for the people he’s placed in my life.  I am truly, truly blessed.  I know I can count on my friends for anything.  My family for a good time and laughs and love.  My boyfriend for sweetness and trust.  My clients for encouragement.

I love you all so very much.  Thank you for making this day my favorite day of the year. :-)  I’m floored by all your Facebook comments and it’s only 8:30 in the morning!

I’m off to shoot Karen and Steve’s wedding in Evergreen today.  Yay for Thursday weddings! Sneak peek to come tomorrow.

So much love and gratitude to you all,
René
P.S. Look what I woke up to this morning… See?  Best people in my life ever… this one’s from the best roommate ever.  Love you, Mere!

And this is how Cal spent our morning… on my new porch swing, which was the best birthday gift EVER from the boyfriend. :-D  Cal and I read a little bit and sipped coffee from Hawaii.  Perfect way to start the day. And yes, he’s on a harness.  It’s really weird, I know.  You don’t have to tell me.
