As I look back on the last nine years we have lived in Statesboro I see the threads of these years that have been woven into our lives, creating lasting memories ….
As I look around my house at the photographs that represents the days of our lives Lori Grice Photography has captured those days  of these special years that our woven into the fabric of our memory. 
I see memories of happy days of the final summers of high school - the senior portraits of both my girls capture their youth, their varied interests of high school days,  the hopes and dreams of their future.  From the casual poses in the ourdoors, to the poses representing memories of band concerts, leading the band in football half time shows for April and a treasure chest of ballet costumes for Ashley to the serious formal poses that remind us of the beautiful young women they have become - we treasure each thread of the tapestry.
Amidst the happy memories are the pictures of four best friends, reminding us that woven into the tapestry of life, yes, even young life, is sadness, tragic losses, mountains to be climbed.  These pictures capture the importance of friends as one of the four faces the pain, the fears, the uncertainties of cancer and reminds us of the miracle of good health on the other side of illness. We treasure the tapestry of friends in our daughters lives.
The generations are represented around our home through LGP of my parents as we announced the joy of their 5oth wedding anniversary.  A picture representing the blessings of family, the shared joys of the generations,the celebration of half a century of marriage!
Even our professional lives are captured by LGP through our official staff photographs at First Baptist Church.  Even the blessing of being able to connect our lives with those of our First Baptist Family has been made possible through the photography that introduces our staff to newcomers through our staff photographs. 
As the threads of the tapestry continue to be woven, we cherish the pictures of the new love of a new generation.  The engagement pictures of April and Eric represent the beginning of a new journey, the promise of many years together of shared love of yet another generation.  The cherished bridal portrait hangs in our home, a reminder of yet another passage of time, another family tapestry in it’s beginning stages with so many threads yet to be woven into the tapestry of love. 
Yes, Lori Grice Photography has truly enriched our lives through friendship and the capturing of the memories of our lives in this past decade.  We are grateful for these portraits that represent the tapestry of our lives and help us to remember in the days to come as God continues to weave the tapestry of his choosing in our lives.
