ABOUT A WEEK AGO I was asked to photograph a good friend of mine and her boyfriend at Freedom Park here in Charlotte NC. As we walked around looking for nice locations to grab a few pics, I was reminded of the first time I walked in a park with my wife.
Most of our friends know the story of how we met and how fast we got married.
We met on Dec. 14th 2002 and got married 5 WEEKS later. Even more shocking to some people is that I was out of town on a business trip for 2 of those 5 weeks....go figure. Here we are 8 1/2 years later and we're more in love than ever before!! The foundation of our life together is our shared faith in a loving and gracious God and it's by His strength alone that we've grown stronger over the years.
I'm not anywhere near the kind of husband I hope to be at the end of this journey! In fact..
I'm immature, goofy, lacking wisdom on a regular basis, insecure and a bit lazy.. but I pray daily that God continues to teach, shape, guide and grow me to be the kind of man I truly want to be for my wife. I've got a long way to go but I pray that I'm walkin' in that direction :)
So what does this have to do with photographing a couple of friends in Freedom Park??
Well.. It made me realize once again that time moves WAY TOO FAST and while looking through my camera lens I took a brief trip down memory lane and was transported back to December 14th 2002. New Love ...and that nervous feeling you get that feels OH SO GREAT. Thank you Ashley and Jon for a great day at the park and the trip down memory lane.....
