Happy New Year Everyone ... It's now 2011 and well our year ended with so many good memories, moments I'll treasure for ever... I was trying to think all day of the words I can put down and express what I was feeling, but since I couldn't think of the right words I'm just going to speak from my heart. This year brought people back into our live's, family , friends and many wonderful memories. As a photographer I love to capture those moments for others but nothing compares to the many memories I have captured this year for my family..Priceless to this mom... More to come on that matter.. For today as emotional as it was for all of us I want to share the good laughs, the love of family and friendship I had the honor of capturing. I want to thank one very special man today for letting us share his 2 weeks vacation with us , my brother Tony. I am extremely proud of him and I hope that he enjoys some of his time with us. You see he is headed back to Iraq and I won't see him again for another year. I'll think of you everyday when I see my heart I wear on my bracelet and I'll share you everyday when I have my coffee with the coolest coffee maker he got me..
My dear brother I love you very much and I can't wait to see you again ... As always be good and be safe and May God bless you always and the other soldiers as well who are over seas with you... Love you very much and always your sister Erika
