2009 was great for me and as the year passed, things got better and better. I let myself enter new doors and let’s just say I’m thrilled about one particular door I stepped through.
I’ll keep you all updated on this when I’m given the “ok” to make an official announcement but let’s just say it’s in a realm I enjoy being a part of and I’m glad I won’t have to leave behind soon.
For now, here’s a gorgeous wedding blog I found this morning – Green Wedding Shoes. Yes, I love weddings I think you already knew that but what I love even more about this blog are the images. They’re all so dreamy and vintage, such an inspiration and exactly how I wish I could capture all of the photographs I take.
This one made me laugh.
And oh, oh oh this is just exquisite!
I can’t wait to go through all the archived posts and see what other eye candy I come across. Hope you enjoy it too!
Burton was in her 25th week of pregnancy in March 2009 when she started showing signs of miscarrying. Her doctor advised her to go on bed rest, possibly for as long as 15 weeks, but she told him that she had two toddlers to care for and a job to keep. She planned on getting a second opinion, but the doctor alerted the state, which then asked the Circuit Court of Leon County to step in.
She was ordered to stay in bed at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital and to undergo “any and all medical treatments” her doctor, acting in the interests of the fetus, decided were necessary. Burton asked to switch hospitals and the request was denied by the court, which said “such a change is not in the child’s best interest at this time.” After three days of hospitalization, she had to undergo an emergency C-section and the fetus was found dead.
I’ve never been pregnant and I really can’t say what I’d do, personally. But I believe in our rights to live our lives within reason. It’s not like this woman was shooting up (although she was smoking which I think is dumb but not grounds for what happened to her) or getting drunk everyday against doctor’s orders. And since when do doctor’s orders = the law??
