Lauren & Brian :: August 3rd, 2008

Lauren and Brian are the REAL reason that we paid visit to Savannah, GA earlier this month. When I got the phone call around Christmas of last year that they were officially going to be getting married, I can honestly say I couldn't have been any happier to hear about their plans.

There aren't enough kind and amazing words to describe this couple. I met Lauren while living in Nashville. Her friendship has truly been a blessing from God. She has so many amazing qualities and I will just list a few. She is loyal, hard working, funny, devoted, honest, positive, real and inspiring. She has been such a wonderful friend and without a doubt will make Brian very happy as his wife.

I had the opportunity to get to know Brian and to see their relationship grow before I moved on to Dallas and now to San Diego. Brian is nothing short of perfect for Lauren. The more that I get to know them and see them together, the more I know they were absolutely meant to spend the rest of their lives together.

Lauren and Brian, from the bottom of my heart, congratulations on your marriage. I wish you all the best that life has to offer and can't wait to hear about the moments that are held for you in the future. I love you both and may your lives together be blessed!

Here are a few photos from the rehearsal and of Lauren's hair and make-up. Enjoy!

Savannah (Cont.)

Here are a few more from our trip. I have been super busy since being back, but wanted to post some more. These are mainly from our day trip to Tybee Island. We visited the lighthouse, then spent the rest of the day exploring by getting "lost". All in all, it was cool to see the architecture there and get the sense for a much slower lifestyle that they lead there.

Sneak Peek from Savannah

We have made it back from the south! I have had a little time to start going through some of the photos from the trip and this one caught my eye. Chad and I took one day to visit Tybee Island. We spent most of our time away from the touristy sites (my favorite!) and did a little exploring by way of getting lost. I hope to get more up soon, but for now, here is a little taste of what we saw.

Extra Extra

We've made it to Savannah. I love so many things about the south!

Just ran across this...

and had to share. Happened to get Chad in apparent deep thought...or possibly just pondering his wonderful wife :)!

Mya & Koy

I made the trek up home to Klamath Falls, OR about a month ago. While I was at home, I was able to spend some good time with my friend Booie, her husband Jeff, and their two beautiful kids Koy & Mya. I spent part of one day chasing them around with my camera.

It is so amazing to see a friend with such fantastic children, and to be able to observe the differences in them. As you will be able to tell by the photos, Mya is very outgoing, always on the run, and a woman of many, many faces. Koy on the other hands enjoys to sit back and observe a bit before acting, and always seems like he is analyzing the meaning of life. He takes the time to crack many smiles himself and is just a joy to be around.

Booie has been such an amazing life long friend and it was truly a joy to be able to spend some time with them.
