spring to summer. {what a bummer}

I don’t know how the weather is in your neck of the woods, but one thing we are famous for in Cincinnati is our one week of spring….the one week where we get lovely 70 degree weather, and no humidity.  It is just PERFECT out….and we all go nuts.  Everyone loves these few days we get, and the parks are all filled with people enjoying it while they can. This year, we actually got like 2-3 weeks of that goodness.  I KNOW, I was shocked too.  Last week as I sat outside on my deck getting sun- no humidity, no mosquitoes, working on my laptop, I commented to Brett about how we have had a GOOD YEAR for spring.  He agreed.

The next day we got summer.  NO JOKE.  It turned muggy, mosquitoes are now following me at the door waiting to get me, and it is only in the 80’s so it’s gonna get even more fun as the 90’s come!!

:)  Oh well….I will shut up my window’s, crank up the AC, and make plans for pool time.

My kids are fine with the weather change.  When the temps hit 80, they busted out that sprinkler faster than a mosquito can bite my face. And that’s fast.  (Those things love me.)

What’s the weather like where you are?

Whatever it is, hope you find a way to enjoy it.  :)

kristi + dan {in love}

There are few things as wonderful as being able to marry your best friend….If you have, you know what I mean.  I couldn’t help but think about this when I met these two.

Meet Kristi and Dan.

Hanging out with these two was so fun and laid back.  I found that they fit together perfectly, and (although they may not think so) when they looked at each other, they kinda forgot about the camera.  Some things we loved: how Dan always fixed hair that fell in Kristi’s face, and how he lovingly refers to her as “Russ” (her last name is Russell)…..The way Kristi so tenderly looks at Dan, laughs at him, and with him…….

Did I mention these two are just awesome?  :)

These next two may be my favorite from the session.  Do you see the sweetness of their love, or is it just me??

As we were walking down the hill Kristi decided to jump on Dan’s back….I quickly grabbed my camera and took this.  :)

So Brett decided to hang out on this wall to take some shots, but the drop off was a good 20 ft down.  With my fear of heights, I was near hyperventilating by the time he finished his shot.

We ended our session at Graeter’s.  Brett decided to order a HUGE banana split (even though I said I wasn’t hungry).

Kristi decided to take a photo of us being big dorks…something we excel at greatly.  :)
