First of all, I'd like to announce that for the month of October, I have decided to donate 10% of my product sales to Breast Cancer Research. I'm also working on several Pet Day Photoshoots in the area to help out local non-profit animal organizations.
Second, I'd like to pass along an email I recieved the other day from my college roommate who loves to run and has been getting involved with several big races, such as the Boston Marathon and many others.
She writes: When I was choosing my next race, I wanted to race for something bigger than myself, so I chose to race with Team in Training to raise funds for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS).
On January 10th I will be running the Walt Disney World Marathon in the hopes that my efforts will help cure blood cancers. I would love your support in trying to reach my goal of exceeding $3800 for the cause. Here is the link to my website
http://pages.teamintraining.org/md/wdw10/mbliss5lewI am personally touched by the LLS after loosing my brother, Andy, in 1992 to Leukemia. If you have the time and a little bit of money, please visit her page to make a donation to help her reach her goal and so we can find a cure for this devistating disease.
On a much happier note, how awesome will it be to run a marathon through Disney World?! And because every post looks better with a photo- here is a photo I took the other day of Maya- full photoshoot to come.
It didn't take much time, it's just really fragile.
This was the top female varsity runner for the day. Here is her smile as she looks back at her time crossing the finish line.
Ruth bought this hat before all the planning really began, then built the whole event around this hat. There were a few objections to the hat from others because you couldn't see her eyes when she wore it. But it was very much Ruth's style and I loved it.
The groom getting preparted.
I really enjoyed hearing people talk throughout the night about how Ruth and Mark are an example of how a married couple should be. An example of how we should love each other.
Their wedding party was so large I had to stand on the third pew to get this photo. Many of the people in their orriginal wedding party were able to be there, 50 years later. Her brother walked her down the isle both times. This time her children and grandsons were welcome additions to the wedding party.
Everything was gold, even Ruth's nails. She paid close attention to every little detail. My kind of bride :)
I could not get over this cake!
This is their wedding album from 1959.
Their photographer worked at the US Army War College as a photographer- Dick Nail, now deceased. This event was all about tradition. In case you're not aware, I am one of the photographers for the USAWC.
50 years later. Still going strong.
Congratulations you two! I'll plan to be there on your 75th!
