Pulling up the drive way we stopped behind a giant Ford truck. Mattie and Tony got out and I was awe struck by Mattie’s beauty. Then came her personality. Beauty, fun, perky and bubbly! Yes, I thought, we’ll get along juuuust fine!! We began our trip up the narrow drive, avoiding pot holes and very VERY narrow bridges. We began at the side of the scum covered pond. My Father in law still questions why I like to shoot back here. The images speak for themselves. Tall grass, dirt roads, falling down houses…what more could I ask for?
Mattie and Tony’s love shines through them. Being away from each other for 15 months while Mattie was attending ASU and Tony was deployed in Iraq they’ve been itching just to be able to laugh together and hold each other in their arms. These two were a treat to get to know and I cant wait for the developing friendship this has become.
