the bride and the groom

Our very good friends Lucy and Graham got married this summer. Sean and I stood by there side as they said their vows and promised to be with each other for the rest of their lives. It was extremely touching and beautiful.

There was this point in the ceremony where Sean and I met eyes. The almost married couple sandwiched between us, we both had tears welling up...promising ones everlasting love and devotion is not for the faint of heart. It was absolutely incredible. 

Now 3 months after that serene momentous day for Graham and Lucy, we are engaged to do the same.

This little picture and story puts makes me smile every time I see it.

happiest moment of your life

...Here we are yet again at the end of summer wondering where it went. I've had a very eventful and sunny past 3 months. We were able to take a few trips here and there, hike around the neighborhood and have friends visit. Summer has been kind to us, BUT! The fall. Oh, fall. I love you so much. The evenings are starting to have that crisp to them again. I wore a jacket a few days ago! It was amazing.
