This is the scanned version of a picture that I took 8 years ago...I can't believe it's been that long. Feels like its only been a couple of years. It was taken in Fiumicino airport in Rome on our last day after a great semester abroad. Pictured is from left to right - Emmy, Becca, Patty, and Lori. I had the best time ever and learned so much about myself. I told myself that I would go back and visit and I really hope to do that again. Till that time, I still have my stories and boy are they doozys? :)
This picture was actually taken 2 years ago. It is probably one of my 5 favorite pictures. It was a unusually warm December Sunday and John, Eric, Hannah, and I decided to spend the day outside. We walked the Katy, played in the playground at Reverchon, and watched traffic on Turtle Creek which is where this picture was taken. I can't remember what it was that caught the guys attention, but they were enveloped long enough that I was able to shoot this picture. Eric actually refers to this day as one of the best days of his life. We were so relaxed that day...no stress, no worries, just a day with friends which is what life is all about.
A good friend of mine's father, Mike Campbell, passed away recently. He was war vet and actually met his wife when he was stationed in Germany. Mike was a kind man and had the best stories. He was loved by many and will be missed. 
Every Friday my branch sends 2 employees to our adopt-a-school for banking. The kids from the elementary school come up and give us money which ranges from 50 cents to $20 to deposit into their account with us. It is the cutest thing to see them so excited to go to the bank. We give them a receipt and sucker for their business. The branch has been doing this for almost 10 years. In addition to banking, we also hand out Christmas gift bags with Santa. I took this picture while we were handing them out last Christmas. All the kids were writing their letters to Santa when we showed up.
