You may remember the wedding I shot of my two former students, Kevin & Gisel.  If you haven’t, check it out!  Their whole wedding was done for around $4000 – and that was for 100 guests too!  …Well, they now have a baby boy!  Meet Timothy!  In all honesty, I was upset when I first found out they were pregnant.  I couldn’t help but to think of all the things they would be missing out on, like dorm life and the college life that I loved so much and so thankful for!  After meeting Timothy, my heart melted.  I felt like a grandma.  My students are now parents to such a sweet boy.  It was an amazing feeling to watch them take care of Timothy.

Look at those eyes!  And the way Kevin cares for Timothy!

When I first found out they were pregnant, I was disappointed and really wish they waited until after college.  But when I saw them together as a family, I could not help but to be moved by this little guy they created.  I don’t even know how to describe it, but to see them share a love for something that is beyond themselves, and to see them as adults, I can’t help but to be happy for them too.

This blog entry was especially difficult for me to write – it took me 1.5 hrs to write!  I don’t think I had fully processed my thoughts yet.  I originally intended this to be a Thanksgiving post where I shared what I was thankful for, but went in a completely different direction.  An hour an a half later, I realize that I am extremely thankful for all my opportunities & experiences.  I am thankful for not having to worry about money while going through college.  And while I would’ve preferred for Kevin & Gisel to have waited until after college, things will all work out.  It will be a much more difficult journey for them now with the extra responsibilities, but this is still a beautiful moment for them, and it is still an awesome feeling to watch them be parents.
