Appreciation & Gratitude



This Christmas Eve, as I review my checklist for our European vacation, I am overwhelmed with a great sense of appreciation and gratitude to all our clients who have helped make this trip possible.

You see, I've been planning this trip since 1999 when I graduated from college, but for some reason or another, I just never made Europe a priority.

So this year, I placed the trip on my vision board and worked toward making it a reality. There were a lot of 16-hour workdays, along with many seven-day workweeks. Despite the fatigue on some days, I reminded myself that if I pushed a little harder, I could take the long-awaited trip this year.

For me, this trip is a realization that vision followed by hard work can and will make dreams come true.

From London, Paris, and Rome, we thank you for your love and support.
XOXO
Hector & John

Nora | 2012 Senior Centerville IA

Originally from the country of Macedonia, Nora moved to Iowa with her father a few years ago. Getting her senior pictures isn't such a cultural tradition in her country...but she is sure glad it is in America!

Derek | 2012 Senior Centerville IA

Derek is naturally reserved but get him talking about history and he lights up like a Christmas tree.
