A few years ago I took a trip with my youngest to visit my very good friend in Germany (who I am so excited to LIVE next to again soon). On my flight home I was sitting in the airport waiting for my flight amidst hundreds of Japanese business men in suits when all of a sudden I saw the cutest pregnant lady sitting reading a book...I took note and even wondered if she was American. Well when I got on the plane she was sitting in the seat behind me, so I said hello. We then got talking and found out we were both headed to Okinawa. She somehow asked what I did and I told her I was a photographer...a few minutes later she tapped me and said you are not Serena are you? And well we all know the answer to that one. I had to laugh that here I was flying in Germany and was called out...I was so humbled. To make a long story short we had all the same connections and we hit it off big time. I instantly adored her and she has since become one of my closest friends. We giggle anytime we think how we met...to get even more personal...when I was leaving Germany I was so very sad to be leaving my close, close friend, that I prayed please let me find a friend to make this easier. And my goodness did he ever deliver. I didnt even have to make that plane ride home ALONE! Since meeting, she has been my go-to friend. We can talk about anything and have a blast. As we part our seperate ways from this island.. I know in my heart this is not good-bye - just hold on a second. There will be many more years of giggles and talk.
So needless to say I jumped at the opportunity to photograph their family before they leave...
Thanks so much for years of good times and laughs. Thanks for being there for me. Love you - SN
