i guess that's what friends are for...and then some.

You all know her, you all love her...and here's just one more reason why i do. I'm not usually one to procrastinate, but this year I just couldn't get it together. So she took our family pics at the busiest time of the year...about two weeks before Christmas...after we kept canceling. She never complained, never acted annoyed, continued to pretend that she really wanted to do this huge favor. Then, one week before Christmas, I called her frantically (at 9pm the night of the 21st), saying...'I am way too late in ordering these, it's going to be an extra $40 to get them promised before the 23rd of December, should I just pay it?' This is on top of the already $80-ish I was paying just to have them done at some fancy schmancy Tiny Prints-esque place. I heard her mouth drop over the phone, she told me there was not a chance in hell I was paying that much...then went on to ask me what I wanted, told me, 'no problem', she could whip that up in no time, and sent it via email to me that night, I had them printed at Costco the very next day, my cards got out on time, and she saved me well over $100 dollars. Joc, I've said it before, I'll say it again...you're the best. You really blow my socks off. Seriously, what would I do without you. Really don't ever want to know.

I'm so glad you've shown us Jocelyn's work...eventually I will ask for her contact info and hire her myself. Hers are easily the best photos I've seen...we are just grand procrastinators at such things ourselves. Hip Hip Hooray for pals like her.
