Tonight, I was working my "job." The one that pays my bills, for now. I am always hoping that this will be the week that I can hang up my apron strings for good. However, tonight I waited on my Aunt Karen, Uncle Jack and my cousin and his wife and beautiful son. I mentioned to my Aunt that I would be shooting a wedding this weekend. She was happy for me and said, "following in your Grandpa's footsteps." It was a little thing she said, but I doubt she realized how much it meant to me. If I can be even a little bit like him, I am happy. I have made it. As any reader of my blog would know, being like my Grandfather or Grandmother is my ultimate goal. Family first, everything else comes second. So, tonight my picture is of a birdhouse that my Grandpa made with my little sister years ago. It now hangs in my backyard and the "locals" have made a nest in it. At first, I was a little upset about the little home they made because that bird house was mine. It was mine to put seed in for them, not theirs to build a home in! Then, I remembered. Family first, everything else comes second. These birds were just building a home for their family. Something that we can all appreciate. So, I decided pictures of the bird house were in order. Just in case I can't take it with me someday, I will have the pictures.
