Quote //  Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things – Robert Brault

– I was sent a lovely text this morning by my even lovelier bf with this very same quote…..and I wanted to use it!

So off I set off in search of a photo to go with this quote. I was thinking I’d find a photo that represented something small that we don’t usually acknowledge or something like that….instead I came across this photo which was taken back on the 16th of August 2009 and couldn’t get past it.

It definately isn’t a photo that I’m “technically” pleased with (e.g over exposed etc etc) but it so summed up the quote for me.

It was a beautiful sunny August morning and we had all been out for breakfast for J’s birthday and gone for a walk up to the look-out and stopped for a “group” shot. …

The kind of one where you don’t think much of and its a “nice memory of the moment”.

…..so now I’ve looked back at this photo almost a year later and it makes me smile to think what was just a “small” passing snapshot turned out to be a photo of the people that I have shared some of the big things in life with.

– Four of these ladies turned out to be the best housemates I could have imagined

– One of these ladies was a couple of months away from meeting her Mr Right at the time of this photo and ended up being the first one out of the housemates to get married 😉

– Three of these ladies caused many squeals, jumps & hugs  in our loungeroom as they flashed their engagement rings and dazzled us with the sparkles.

– Four of these ladies are now married 🙂

– One of these ladies isn’t in the photo but we can all understand why…she’s the type that was just as likely to be off chasing butterflies 😉

– Two of these ladies are the bestest of friends you could ever ask for

– All of these ladies I have seen grow over the past year and all reached different milestones in their lives

– Three of these ladies at different times have shared  “late night d&m + tea chats” on the couch

– I have had the fun of photographing two of these lovely ladies weddings

– One of these ladies I’ve seen come back from overseas relaxed and refreshed

– One of these ladies has a very cool suprise 🙂

– Celebrated a wedding with four of these ladies in Sydney

– Chilled out by the pool in Bali with two of these ladies

– Four of these ladies have seen a couple of my “small silver tears”

– Two of these ladies have gracefully handled me with my “big ugly tears”

……..and lastly

– All of these ladies have seen my smiles and have been cause for them in one way or another.

Thank you for all being such lovely, kind, fun, thoughtful, amazing and hilarious friends!
