This year I am thankful for:

1.  My family.  Seriously, I’d be no where without them.

2.  All the wonderful couples I get to work with.  They trust me, open their lives to me, and I couldn’t be more thankful for each and everyone.

3. And cupcakes.  What?  Imagine the world without cupcakes?!  Crisis!

Happy Thanksgiving, ya’ll.  Now go eat some more turkey.  Gobble. Gobble.

I had just finished up an engagement session and headed back to my car to make the long journey home.  It was a Ravens football game day and since apparently George Clooney was there(!!) the traffic was backed up several miles.  I called Dad and told him that our dinner date?  That was supposed to start in three minutes?  I was going to be late for it.  He told me to take my time and I had no other choice.  I was sitting at a traffic light, that had already changed three times, and I looked to my left.  Ouuu, the water is RIGHT there.  I took my phone out and tried to capture the night’s sky with the lights dancing off of the water.  No luck.  Apparently phone cameras don’t zoom, so all I got was a big building and a tiny little portion of the water.  I looked at the open gate, and then glanced back at my camera sitting in the passenger seat.  Why not?

I drove through the gate and down a shady looking gravel driveway in the quaint little city of BALTIMORE.  I turned off my lights and sat there for a second looking at the view.  Half scared because there were absolutely no lights and I was sure Tony Soprano was out there waiting for me, and half excited for the amazing shot that I might be able to get.  I grabbed my camera and went towards the water’s edge and noticed the huge, ginormous gate blocking the walkway to the docks.  Dang, oh well, I tried.  I took a shot, and the buildings blocking the view just didn’t cut it.  And then, for some reason, right as I turned around to leave I decided to try the gate.  And wouldn’t you know it, that beautiful gate was open.

I walked down the creepy dock watching my every precarious step along the way, just as it started to sprinkle.  I made my way out to the end of the dock almost as if I was in the middle of the harbor, sat down, and marveled at the sight.  Though the rain was coming down, the lights danced off of the water and I had never seen something so beautiful; I thought to myself, is this real life?  I was sure this was Baltimore’s finest view, and I was so thankful that I had a front row seat.
