Once upon a time...

there was this beautiful photographer named Candace,
(see her amazing work here)
well Candace knew this boy...
...who had dated from Helamen Halls all the way through Hinckley Halls... and just wasn't finding 'the one'
Candace, being the match-maker she is...set out to find this boy 'the one'

She searched high and low and finally came up with what she KNEW would be a match made in heaven (the exact words were 'soul mates')

The date was set...and....well........it just was a flop!

Neither this boy or this girl was interested.....AT ALL!And neither this boy or this girl could bare to make the phone call telling poor Candace she certainly had not found a match made in heaven.

Well, winter came, then spring, then summer...and almost an entire year passed.

One day Candace and this girl met up to take the girl's sister's senior pictures.
But it was raining.
Candace had the brilliant idea to go to her friends house......another beautiful photographer, Heidi
(see her amazing work here)

As fate would have it, Heidi was mother of the boy...
and the boy happened to be home from BYU for the summer.

Well, Candace informed the girl she would see the boy...and Heidi informed the boy he was about to see the girl. Neither really remembered the other or were excited about meeting again.
BUT...the boy saw the girl, and well, I think it was love at second sight!
The girl also quickly realized her infatuation for the boy.

Well from that rainy Thursday on the girl and the boy were inseparable. Some might even say they were conjoined at the lips :)
(sorry if you dislike kissing pictures)
A couple years later the boy and the girl received this...
and they loved him to pieces and constantly smothered him with wet kisses.

And because Candace really had found the boy's 'one' and the girls 'soul mate'...the boy and the girl lived Happily Ever After
THE END

And for your viewing pleasure a couple more from this random fun photo shoot Candace, Heidi, and I did a few weeks ago.
P.S...i hear these cute girls are single if anyone knows a cute boy...who knows, maybe it will be 'the one' :)

........we are home (phew)

summer is coming to a screeching halt,
it does this every year (sigh),
school starts one week from monday...

i'm having very mixed feelings about this year (because when you are in student life, the year does not go from January to December, it goes from September to August),
i'm not excited for the long days of school to kidnap my most favorite face
not excited to start worrying about real responsibility (job, house, money)
NOT excited to move (cringe), oh the thought gives me a stomach ache
not excited to be away from our families one more year

...BUT...

we sure are excited to be done with school
and have income (i don't even remember what that is:)
so excited for routine again
excited to start dinner group, play group, exercise group, and maybe even book group this year (love all my groupies)
excited to clean out every cranny of my neglected house so moving will be flawless (
wishful thinking)
excited for hours of playing with our very missed utah friends

...and most of all excited to HOPEFULLY be adding one more big eyed, curly haired, sweet little person to this way too little family of ours

So...just for an appetizer of the posts to come
here are a few snid bits from our summer
a little dabble in this
a whole lot of this

lots of papa time
way to many hours of movie time
just enough spoiling from mam-ma

not even enough of grandma and grandpa time
just enough of this
never enough of this
or this
hope everyone's summer was as grandiose as ours!
