About 14 years ago, a boy began attending my youth group at church. This boy drove me absolutely insane. I never thought we could be true friends. He was constantly pulling pranks and making jokes. For some reason, I seemed to be the subject to most of them. (I am certain it had nothing to do with the fact that I was overly dramatic and hyper-sensitive, thus making me an easy target.) I thought he was immature, annoying, and I could not stand him. As we got older and began high school, the pranks occurred less and less, and real life started to happen. School became harder, we had quite a bit more responsibility, and we even began to experience loss. It was during this time that I was very grateful for the friendship and the hugs that this annoying boy provided. As most of you have probably already guessed, this boy is (now) sweet Adam. Unfortunately, these days, Adam and I do not get to see each other as often as we would like. However, it doesn't matter how much time has passed, Adam always greets me with an Adam-hug and we can pick up where we left off.
And now my friend is engaged to beautiful, joyful Grayson. I didn't know Grayson that well until the past few years and all I can say is I adore her. She has this contagious laugh that just makes a person automatically feel better. At church, I have seen her sincere, caring nature for some of our elderly church members. What I like most about Grayson is that she can hold her own when it comes to Adam. These two together are truly dynamic. During our session, I couldn't help but notice the way Adam looked at Grayson or the way that Grayson smiles when Adam makes one of his quips. There is no question, these two are in love.
When I arrived to their session, I was exhausted after a long few weeks. However, when I left, I had this new energy and a smile that lasted all night. I love these two so very much and it was such an honor to be able to capture their love for each other (as well as three gorgeous pups). Thank you, Grayson and Adam, for spending an afternoon with me and letting me spend time with your sweet pups. I love you both and wish you all the joy life has to give you!
