In the meantime, enjoy these cute images of Dan and Caroline.  Caroline is originally from Belgium and moved here with her family as a teenager and she pronouces her name: Caro-lyn.  Beautiful!  Dan is originally from Boston, yes that's right...Boston!  He possesses that iconic Boston accent and Mike and I just love it  :)  When we first moved to Santa Barbara, we frantically searched for an awesome place to live and we were relieved when we found a great neighborhood only 2 days after arriving.  We flew in on a Monday and moved in Thursday morning....as we were moving in we heard "Ay, you guys need some help?"  We quickly became friends with Dan and Caroline, who just so happened to live 2 doors down!  We have become so close with this awesome couple and their gorgeous husky, Moonie (who Bear tries to  play hard to get with, but Moonie won't have any of it!).  

The past few months have been spent sharing great meals and long conversations with Dan and Caroline and I am so excited and happy for them and I can't wait to go to their wedding in June 2010!!!  :)  Dan and Caroline also happen to be INSANE runners, no wait, marathoners,  no, actually I think they used to participate in the original Olympics and kick butt because these guys are super fast runners (I have yet to tell them my running times) annndddd they have BOTH qualified for the BOSTON MARATHON!!!  How awesome is that?!?  I had no idea we were living next door to the Lance Armstrong's of running  :)

Dan and Caroline, I am so blessed that I met both of you and I have enjoyed our friendship here in Santa Barbara more than you know!!! xoxo!

Isn't she gorgeous!?!?  

Dan's not too bad himself...  :)

So romantic!!

Thanks guys!!! I had so much fun! :)

And here's a quick pic from my phone of the first few hours of the fire...hopefully it will become more contained overnight...

Onto more exciting things: 

IT'S 88 DEGREES HERE TODAY!  Finally! I have been (im)patiently waiting for ages for this infamous Southern California warm weather I've been hearing about and it's finally here.  Can you see me jumping up and down, because I am!  I could go dance out in the street I'm so happy...I think I will...

Before I go out and get hit by car doing my sunshine dance, here is a sneak peek from a really cute engagement session yesterday!  Enjoy!  :)

Now, onto the good part:  I met Theresa in college: we were both sitting there trying to keep up with Economics and Business Forecasting, well, let's just say Theresa was keeping up and I was trying to stay awake...but anyway, we spent many long hours in the library and business study halls cramming for tests and quizzing each other on terms and theories.  We have tons in common and at the time, we were both happily engaged and anxiously awaiting graduation.  Theresa found out I was a photographer outside of school and I casually gave her my information.  The next time we met in class, I was met with a great surprise: Theresa asked when I could do their engagement photos...I told her I could blow class right then and there and we could do the shoot, but she wanted to stay and learn.  Mike and Theresa's session turned out so awesome and I think I just may have to include a slideshow in the next few days because I took TONS of photos!!  ENJOY their Reynolda Gardens engagement session :)

Happy Friday!
