a & k. altadena.

a beautiful wedding

beautiful friends



we've had a full season of weddings.
truly the best part about it is the obvious...celebrating marriage.
but coupled with celebrating the lives of our friends coming together; we have also been able to see our friends approximately every other weekend, we get dressed up, we road trip with friends, we travel with lots of snacks for dave, we make starbucks stops for coffee, we make in&out runs at midnight for post wedding snacks!

im excited for what the post wedding season will have in store; we have the husbands birthday, a trip home to see baby B and kristy; and my lovely parents, followed by holiday planning and holiday parties!!

good times, and lots of exciting times ahead:)

a typical conversation (maybe)

dave and i just finished watching the girl with the dragon tatoo; and at the credits, i asked dave, "hey would you advance the laundry?" mind you its 11pm.
and dave HATES it when our neighbors do laundry when we are going to sleep, because somehow the hummmm of the dryer downstairs in the laundry room; is annoying to him.
i on the other hand can't hear it.
so in response dave said he would do it in the morning, since he always wakes up early and we have a lot to do tomorrow before we leave for LA.
i ask him what do we have to do?
and he said, "pack, clean, go to the gym...etc"
as i lounge on the couch, still not moving since the tv has been turned off.
i reply, "wha wha whaaaa"

dave just looks at me and states that he just got a glimpse into his future when he will be trying to talk to one of his daughters and she is going to simply reply in a defiant tone with words that don't make any sense.

dave then proceeds to walk into the hall square (its the 5 foot space between the living room and the bathroom and the bedroom...not big enough to be a hall way, but rightly termed as a hall square).
he asks me, "kim could you please put your shoes away? it looks like they have systematically stepped off the shoe rack and onto the floor..."
(they are all lined up, in pairs, on the floor; neatly...its just that i haven't put them back into the closet, and onto the shoe rack)

now, my shoes are a big point of contention between dave and i.
it might possibly be true i have 10 times more pairs of shoes than he does.
its been highly encouraged that i shouldn't buy anymore shoes as they won't fit onto the shoe rack.
(but really? if the shoe fits and the girl likes them....)

back to dave...standing, looking down at the neatly arranged line up of a few pairs of shoes lining the perimeter of the hall square....
dave shares he is having another glimpse into his future,
he is concerned that when he asks his daughter to put her shoes away, she'll just reply, "uhh why? mom doesn't put her shoes away?"

a & s. 12pm in Richmond

celebrating at two weddings in one day only means one thing...
DOUBLE THE PLEASURE, DOUBLE THE FUN!!
(i think thats from a gum commercial)
but still...two weddings in one day truly just means lots of celebrating, lots of smiling, lots of laughter and loads of friends!!

im thrilled to see aaron and sarah now married. even more excited we all get to hang out as married couples and continue to live life together.
who would have thought, my friend from home/high school would marry my husbands best friend from high school? seriously, couldn't get any better than that.
they truly compliment each other, bring out the best in the other, and truly LOVE one another. i am a witness to it and i confess, they are just perfect for each other.







lots of friends...with lots of laughter:)





yes, you will be defined by your drink of choice.







congrats Aaron & Sarah!

going to the park, going to get married....

these love birds are getting married today!!
aren't they just FUN?! (i think so)






im going to go out on a limb, and just say that if we didn't happen to invite these two love birds over for dinner back in 2009 they might not be getting married today...but who are we to know, and who are we to say we have such control in these issues?
they could have met another way and still be getting married....
regardless, we are thrilled to stand up in their wedding and be apart of this day with them together:)
