Amber has graciously allowed me to write on the Langhoff Creative blog. Usually, I don't do this too often because my skill set is more around handling gear than writing heartwarming posts, but sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone to express how much you love someone.

Today is an amazing day because it's Amber's 31st Birthday. I have so many things planned for her today because she deserves all of it. First we are heading to the North Carolina Museum of History followed with a meal at the Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill because Amber loves a good stir fry. After our bellies are full, we may grab a movie or come home and snuggle on the couch with a glass of wine. It's up to her.
