So Much More.

Oh boy. Guess what came in the mail? The proofs to my senior portraits!

...

Think back to the days of your childhood and how you literally counted down the days until your birthday. It wasn't just the presents, or just the cake, or just the party that you invited everyone in you grade to. No, it was so much more.

It was the way that all you friends treated you extra nice that day. They let you play all the games you wanted to play during recess. At lunch, you were offered the best of their treats: chocolate chip cookie, banana bread, double fudge brownie, your favorite cupcake, peanut butter bar, a whole stack of Oreos...

It was the way that your parents seemed to love you extra much that day. You weren't woken until noon, and when you did awake all on your own, there was a breakfast in bed waiting. Daddy took you for a ride in the car, anywhere you wanted. Secret plans were made that breakfast, lunch, and dinner consisted of nothing but your favorite foods.

As you can remember (or imagine), the suspense a child builds up for that Special Day is...unbelievable.

Senior portraits aren't so different.

It's your last year in high school, and most kids want, almost need, their senior portraits to the absolute best of themselves anyone in the school has ever seen. You know, the perfect lasting impression before we're all going where we want to be, not living in a place that our parents settled for.

Not that I know where exactly I'm going with this shpeel, but you know, just saying.

I guess I just wanted to express how excited I am that I finally got them.

That's all. :]
