I love love love love teaching. I think my favorite part is seeing how much my students learn. Most of my students come in knowing a few letters and sounds and they leave Kindergarten reading and writing. Its AMAZING!
They hardest part is remembering they are only 5! I have to tell myself that every day. We expect so much from them but they really are just babies still.
-Have you or James ever went back and talk to the care-taker that was watching Maddie at the time that your life forever changed? Do you know how she is coping with the entire thing?
No we have not talked to her. I don't blame her we just have not talked to her.
-I always think it's interesting to find out who said the magic words 'I love you' first.
Honestly I dont remember..EKKK.. I even asked James and he said he doesnt remember. I think it was me tho. He He.
-How did you and James meet?
Believe it or not we met on Match.com.. Yes, its true. I told James we need to be on one of those commercials. We were both tired of dating and we wanted to find someone that we were really interested in. James sent me a message and I wasn't going to answer him because he didn't have a picture and some guy with no picture is a CREEP-O in my book. Something in my heart told me to give him a chance so we started messaging each other. He finally sent me a picture and I found out he wasn't a creep-o. We actually lives 2 miles from each other. Eventually we started hanging out and the rest is history!
How long after you were dating were you engaged?
9 1/2 months. We both knew we have found "the one". James proposed on Christmas Eve in front of both our families!!!
-When you think about Maddie, do you have a specific memory of her that can guarantee you to always makes you smile?
Oh so so so so many memories! One in particular..... Maddie would look at you and just start smiling. James and I talk about her smiles all the time.
-Do you have any idea how many people out there you don't even know keep you, your husband, and your beautiful Maddie in their thoughts? :-)
Nope :) But, I want to say thank you to everyone for all their support!
-What is you favorite go to outfit when going on date with your hubs, out with friends or just when you want to wear something cute.
I don't feel like I have any "cute" outfits. I have a black dress from Old Navy that I have had since we got engaged that I wear a lot. This reminds me I need to go shopping!!
Besides James and Maddie, who/what are your favorite photography subjects? Also, did I miss photos of your classroom?
I love taking pictures of kids and families. I am not so much a building/objects photography. I like telling a story through the lens of my camera and buildings just don't do that for me...
I adore your blog my one question is what got you into photography and do you have a website?
No, not yet. My brother is still working on it!
Stay Tuned for Part 2...........

That is awesome you and James met on Match.com! Ryan and I met on POF.com. We both were tired of the same dating. I also wasnt going to write him back when he messaged me. But I just felt it in my heart that i needed to respond. 5 months later we were married, 4 months later we welcomed our little man into the world and couldnt be any happier.
I must say that when I first found your blog I bawled. You and James are so strong and brave for sharing your story about Maddie. She will always be watching over you both! and any future babies to!!
Big Hugs Mamma!! <3
