A Girl's Best Friend?

I have often heard that a diamond is a girl's best friend. While I like diamonds, I would argue that shoes may beat out the diamond. I love shoes. You can have on a relatively boring outfit and throw on some funky shoes and be completely transformed. Shoes have been known to put a smile on my face and to even inspire me. Silly? Maybe. But I do love them.

From a very young age, my parents would joke that I would grow up and own some sort of specialty shoe store. Hasn't happened yet, but as of now, my life is not yet over.

Nonetheless, I just bought a pair of yellow high heels. I love them. They are fun and I feel fun wearing them. Here is a piece of them. Enjoy and happy shoe shopping!

House Red

A while back I got the opportunity to do a photo booth shoot with our awesome worship band, House Red. House Red is lead by Ps. Andy and Rachel Bennett who have an amazing anointing in the area of worship. The entire band works tirelessly to bring an incredible worship experience to church every Sunday. You can view the entire set here. You can also download two free tracks (highly recommended) here.

Thank you to all involved in House Red for your dedication to bring amazing worship to CCC!

Lauren & Brian :: August 3rd, 2008

Lauren and Brian are the REAL reason that we paid visit to Savannah, GA earlier this month. When I got the phone call around Christmas of last year that they were officially going to be getting married, I can honestly say I couldn't have been any happier to hear about their plans.

There aren't enough kind and amazing words to describe this couple. I met Lauren while living in Nashville. Her friendship has truly been a blessing from God. She has so many amazing qualities and I will just list a few. She is loyal, hard working, funny, devoted, honest, positive, real and inspiring. She has been such a wonderful friend and without a doubt will make Brian very happy as his wife.

I had the opportunity to get to know Brian and to see their relationship grow before I moved on to Dallas and now to San Diego. Brian is nothing short of perfect for Lauren. The more that I get to know them and see them together, the more I know they were absolutely meant to spend the rest of their lives together.

Lauren and Brian, from the bottom of my heart, congratulations on your marriage. I wish you all the best that life has to offer and can't wait to hear about the moments that are held for you in the future. I love you both and may your lives together be blessed!

Here are a few photos from the rehearsal and of Lauren's hair and make-up. Enjoy!

Savannah (Cont.)

Here are a few more from our trip. I have been super busy since being back, but wanted to post some more. These are mainly from our day trip to Tybee Island. We visited the lighthouse, then spent the rest of the day exploring by getting "lost". All in all, it was cool to see the architecture there and get the sense for a much slower lifestyle that they lead there.

Sneak Peek from Savannah

We have made it back from the south! I have had a little time to start going through some of the photos from the trip and this one caught my eye. Chad and I took one day to visit Tybee Island. We spent most of our time away from the touristy sites (my favorite!) and did a little exploring by way of getting lost. I hope to get more up soon, but for now, here is a little taste of what we saw.
