Crossroads

Over the Easter weekend, Ray and I visited some great friends whose wedding we shot last year. Last night, for the first time it was all sans camera! Conversation ranged from celebs in rehab to political agendas and finally touched on the crossroards of life. If the bride had chosen her path, she might not have met her future husband and vice versa. All in all as we said our goodbyes and headed home, Ray and I both realized the incredible number of crossroads we've taken in life leading up to today. It cracks me up to think about it, in 2003 I held 4 jobs: stocking shelves, assisting photographers, working as a diner waitress, and a dayjob at Wells Fargo. Ray was a printer, a shelve stocker and a pizza delivery guy. We kept our heads down, hopes high, and worked our tails off to make it in the US, because accepting defeat was not an option! If I had slacked off, lost hope, been involved in illegal activity to get us ahead, any number of things could've changed our situation! Along the entire way, what kept us together was our interest in the same goals. Our goals are the SAME! Like yoked strenght, two heads are better than one, whatever you want to label it, it led us to the crossroads and beyond.

Life is grand! Now if anyone could help us figure out when, where, and how to do our wedding, that would help us through the next crossroad. Ha!!!
