Our dear family friend Donna Prchal needs a miracle and all of you can make that happen. My mother and I arrived home on Monday morning from traveling to receive some devastating news that Donna had been admitted to the University of Arizona Cancer Center for treatment. We need as many people to pray for her right now so I thought why not send this out to anyone I know in the blog-world. You might not know this family but believe me they would be forever grateful if you take 5 minutes to pray for their mother.
She has been diagnosed with a very rare form of lymphoma cancer and given 4 months to live; It took doctors a long time to figure out that she had lymphoma but it still wasn't clear what kind. Once they determined how rare her lymphoma is they gave her 4 months to live and offered this trial treatment that has only been used 2 times before. She has been on this regimen since last week and seemed to be tolerating it fairly well until a few days ago. They are closely watching her liver and kidney and just recently they have not responded well. They stopped treatment at the moment to allow her body to have strength and are watching her vitals very closely. Please PRAY for her strength.
Donna has three beatuiful children and a wonderfully supportive husband. They are active members in their parish community and faithful community leaders. She is a joyful, generous mother and lives her faith each day.
We are driving down to see her in the morning at the University hospital so please please pray as hard as you can that her body shows some signs of positive response and that God grants her strength to keep fighting.
I ask all of you to PLEASE join us all in prayer.
Love you all
-Shannon-

woman once told me this quote...it puts a smile on my face :)
"The way one thinks/feels/behaves is just as important as the "big" decisions one makes in life, sometime almost more important."

I am sitting in front of a large MAC monitor with internet connection...that might be the simplest statement but it's such a BIG deal!! I have been traveling nonstop for the past 5 weeks with SO MUCH MORE to come. So sitting in front of a large screen instead of my little laptop screen is soo much better on the eyes :)
This is a great guestbook I put together for
La Vie Photography up in Seattle...and is WAY past due a posting. I had the chance to sit down and chat with them while traveling in the NW in the fall of 2008 and fell in love with both of their personalities! They are full of so much creativeness + energy...it was a ball of fun! I also had the great opportunity of finally putting a name to the face with
Junebug Weddings and met Christy from
Positive Light Photography. Christy, Kim and Blair are the creative juices behind the ever so inspiring Junebug Weddings website + blog!
Enjoy!

We just got back Sunday night from a mini trip to beautiful Vancouver, B.C. It was a vacation....relaxing...no working...just pure vacation time. It was necessary and so much fun. I love traveling and not having my iphone or laptop stuck to my hip. Here are a few fun shots.
Enjoy
