Amanda met me at the Birmingham airport with a big smile, and I knew immediately that we were going to have a fun weekend. I've known of her for years (through family connections), but this was the first time we had ever met. The grand occasion for our airport meeting was Amanda's 30th birthday photoshoot. It was her Mom's genius idea, and I loved it. What a great way to celebrate a big birthday! We decided that Amanda's "children", Roscoe and Shrimp, needed to be part of the action. They reluctantly complied. So we spent an afternoon at the beautiful Samford University campus (where the birthday girl attended college) then took the doggies to downtown Birmingham for their turn in front of the camera.
Amanda, Thank you for giving me the grand tour of Birmingham, taking me to some of the yummiest restaurants I've ever been to, letting me sing in choir with you at church (ha!) and for the new friendship. Anytime you want to climb through a Men's bathroom window or break into a football field, give me a call. :)
