Drew and I are on our way to Chicago for some r&r and to visit family. We'll have lots of fun stuff to post when we get back! Until then, check out this video...I totally wanna dance with this guy.

Some behind the scenes shots that we've collected over the past few months...

And the lovely Andrea took these shots of us below at Tottie & Dan's wedding - thanks A! :)

Some people are born with all the luck in the world (hi Factor), and some people just aren’t (yours truly). Well, my sister entered my name into a raffle at my nephew's school fair and…drum roll please…I won! We think it's because she used my new last name :) They called to tell me it was a travel basket, so I was expecting a little straw bowl with mini shampoos and tiny bars of soap, but no...it was much much more. My sister was kind enough to pick it up at the school for me, lug it home, and send me pictures. A cute baby even came with it! I'm such a lucky girl. Now I need to plan a trip somewhere...

Update – I bought a lotto ticket today and lost. It’s nice to know things are back to normal.

Scenes from our walk to Cal Tort...

Let's start this post off with a little animated gif action shall we... Here are the always adorable Andrea Ackermann and her hubby, Drew, jumping in the rain for us. These guys are so much fun.

We did a photo session with Andrea's family a couple weeks ago, and it was quite an adventure. We got soaked from the rain AND I dropped our 5D on the cement...thankfully, it survived! Her family totally reminded me of my own - they laughed a lot and were a blast to hang out with! I'll post some pictures from their session soon!

So....Tottie & Dan are getting married tomorrow! This is it!! We are so excited for them and can't wait to document their day. Lindsay is a bridesmaid and is also going to be officiating the ceremony, plus we're going to know some of their guests...it's going to be a good time. And we're excited to have Andrea along to second shoot some of the day with us! She and I tagged along with Michelle last weekend to Erin & Taylor's wedding and helped shoot the girls getting ready and the ceremony. It was great practice for this weekend! Afterwards, we went to Five Guys and got some delish french fries doused with vinegar & old bay, and then topped off the dinner with Ben & Jerry's - it was heaven. I love hanging out with Michelle & Andrea...I think if we could, we would talk all night since we have so much in common. Pictures from that day are coming soon, too...

Our friend, Chris, sent us this crazy video below. I'm not one to take big risks...not really a fan of hiking or wilderness, and I definitely don't like heights...BUT when I watched this video of someone walking the El Camino del Rey in Spain, I got this urge to go there and walk it just for the thrill. Drew told me to go ahead and he'll stay home :)
