Reach for the Stars!

It is so hard to believe that my vacation has come, and gone.  It was two years of planning, and now it is over. :( My family went to Kissimmee, FL.  This year, we rented a house instead of just a villa.  It had 6 bedrooms!  I seriously could get used to that!  But at the prospect of cleaning a house like that on a daily basis would probably blow my mind!  I do not know how people do it.  (Get a maid!!)

I feel like I have been away for so long, as it has been a little bit in between blogs.  I have been super busy, so I really need to figure out a way to make sure that I blog a few times a week.  

This post is special to me.  It revolves around a very special woman, Florence, who I have known for many, many years (That would be a whopping 31 years!) .  We went to P.S. 97 (The Forest Park School) together.  From first grade we have stayed in touch!  Since 2004, Florence has been through hell and back.  She has beat Cancer, more than one time.  I will not get into the full synopsis, but she is one strong cookie.  To help kick off my fundraising for her team, Reach for the Stars - I had put out a photography sale.  Half price Half sessions, with 2/3 of the proceeds going to ACS.  I was able to send $100 to the American Cancer Society, thanks to Yajaira C. and the Leach family for participating in this event!  I hope that next year, even more people will take advantage of this special sale, because the proceeds go to great cause, and you will have pictures to last a lifetime!  And even though Relay is over, it is not too late to donate!  

I will also be doing this for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in August/September of this year!  Look out for this awesome event!

To kick off this event, I did a photo shoot with Florence and her children.  
Flo, you are a special person.  Even though I don't hang around as often as I would like, know you hold an extra special place in my heart!  Love you bunches! xoxo
