Michelle and Luke: engaged!

Mike here, stepping in for Courtney as a guest blogger (I hear all the cool kids are doing it now) to write about the latest engagement shoot featuring one of my all time favorite people, my little sister Michelle. Sometimes when I think of her, I still see my three year old kid sister in her car seat, playing gently with her dolls and bundled up like the Michelin Man to keep warm in those harsh Pittsburgh winters. It's hard to imagine that she's grown into the beautiful woman that I now see in these pictures. I notice that if I look closely enough and stare beyond her outer beauty, I can still see the sensitive and sweet little girl who smiles often, laughs easily, is kind to animals and cares deeply for her family, friends and even those she doesn't personally know. Michelle is a lot like my other younger kid sister Marsha, which is probably why the two of them are still such great friends.
It's been so great to watch Michelle's spiritual growth over the last few years. I'm so happy she has found such a great guy in Luke with whom she can continue that spiritual journey. Someone once said (if I paid more attention in school I'd probably know who it was) that the 'journey of a thousand miles begins with one step'. I hope Michelle and Luke will be able to look back at these pictures in the years to come with fond memories of a beautiful young couple who took their first step together.
Congratulations Michelle and Luke!
