Happy Birthday Josh!

"In this crazy life, and in these crazy times, it's you, it's you. You make me sing. You're every line, you're every word, you're everything." - Michael Buble

Josh and I met because of a chain of seemingly random events. All of these little things led to a blind date, which led to three years of dating (adding a dog to the mix along the way), an engagement, and 4 1/2 years after that first date - a marriage. All in all, we've been together for 7 years, and will be celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary in July. But enough about all that - today is Josh's 28th birthday and I wanted to take a moment to share just how special he is to me.

Josh, thank you for all that you do. For always taking Einstein out in the mornings (in rain, snow, sleet, whatever) because you know once I'm awake I can't fall back asleep. For letting me hog the remote. For vacuuming the house every Friday. Thank you for making me smile when I'm in a bad mood. For supporting my dreams. For your patience, love, and understanding every single day. You are my rock, my safe haven, and I wouldn't know what to do without you. Being your wife is the best part of my life and I love you.

Happy Birthday Josh, I hope your 28th year is as wonderful as you are.

Life is a Highway...

Happy Friday!! Today is the last day to schedule a session and get the 50% off discount. I hope everyone has a great weekend - I'm heading to Chicago with my sister and some friends, can't wait to do some shopping! Hope you all have a great weekend as well.

By the way, Josh was driving - this photo was taken from the passenger seat! I don't want you all to think I'm a reckless driver. :)

Thankful Thursday

The other day I was driving home from work, and Josh was behind me in his car with Einstein. As we pulled onto our street, I looked in my rearview mirror and just had to smile. Hanging out the window, big ole' ears flapping in the breeze was my fuzzy little buddy Einstein. He was having the time of his life, enjoying the beautiful spring day...at that moment I was wishing I had my camera with me (although driving and taking pictures....probably not a good idea). Seeing my favorite pup so happy, which in turn made ME happy, reminded me to take time to appreciate the little things in life. Some of my favorite "little things" at the moment:

1. Getting a ride to work (thanks Josh). It's not so much about the early morning drive, but I love the days when I don't have to drive home!

2. Naps - wishing I was in kindergarten again when they MAKE you take one every day!

3. Tulips - a sign that spring has sprung! I love seeing these as I drive around town.

4. The Pit. Mmm...BBQ.

5. Getting to snuggle with my buddy Einstein when he gets cold in the middle of the night and looks for warmth.

I hope your Thursday is going well - I also wanted to mention that there's only ONE MORE DAY of the 50% off session fee special! If you're interested in booking, please email me at madiganphotography@gmail.com. Hope to hear from you soon!

And as I've mentioned before - every post is better with a picture, so here's a photo I took of my cousin Maddie while we were at my grandma's house for Easter dinner.
