A Beautiful New Friend!

This last weekend our friend Shannon came out to visit us for a fun filled weekend. It's really crazy how our paths crossed. We first met Shannon when Janey, Emily and I volunteered at The Dream Center. We fell in love with her right away and started planning a trip for her to come visit us in Santa Barbara. We'd been planning this trip for a while and couldn't wait for her arrival:) Every day was spectacular and we were definitely on the go while she was here! We introduced her to many of our close friends, she wrote a song with Jon, got to hangout at the beach, go on a hike, and just had great conversations:) It was a perfect weekend! Shannon We miss you and we feel so blessed and thankful to have you as a friend!

One thing that we learned about Shannon is she has an amazing voice. Sounds alot like Taylor Swift:) So on Saturday, Annemarie, Emily and I decided to do a photoshoot with her. Her smile and laugh is contagious and she was a joy and delight to be around. We had a blast doing the photoshoot and every once in awhile I would grab a quick shot of the girls snapping away:) They're amazing photographers and I love how they'll do anything to get the shot:)

Here's a few of our fun photoshoot:)

Slideshow Saturday!:)

So I'm calling this my slideshow Saturday, because I've decided to dedicate most of the morning and afternoon to working on slideshows:) Here's one of the slideshows that I put together for the Beautiful Kertson family that's in the post below:) Ok now I'm off to enjoy the beautiful outdoors that keeps calling my name:)

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

A beautiful family!

I can't believe how time flies. Seriously it felt like it was just yesterday that Kendra and I were in high school, taking music appreciation classes together, paying on the varsity volleyball team, swing dancing, and going on week long camping trips together. Kendra has been one of my closest friends for awhile now. I was one of her bridesmaids in her wedding and then I blinked and next thing you know she has two precious girls:) They are the most adorable gorgeous girls I have even seen. All I have to say is I'M IN LOVE:) Right when I met Peyton, the oldest, she looked at me and said "Kiss". My heart melted:)

I drove up to Santa Cruz this weekend to spend some time with Kendra, Brandon, and their two girls. It was a weekend full of love and laughter. Kendra, thank you for such an amazing weekend. I love how we're able to pick up right where we left off. Peyton and Amber are beautiful just like you:)
