michelle, it seems as if i’ve known you forever. remember when it all started, in asb? you were dr. sutro’s fave yet we always made fun of him. remember your fridge? everytime i went over, there was some sort of moldy food in there, usually the bread. i remember the glass chess set on your living room table and how i wanted to learn but never got around to it. i remember the collage frame you made me. in one pic, i was wearing a brown halter dress and stuck my stomach out like a preggers lady (thanks for adding that pic btw).  we made fun of that one for a while. remember when you tried to teach me how to drive stick shift in your mustang and i stalled about 20 times in 20 feet? well, it’s been years since those days and you’re now engaged. i couldn’t be more happy for you. i’ve met john only a handful of times but can see why you’re crazy about him. anyway, before i start tearing up, i just want to say congrats to the both of you…AND shanti! love you!!! i hope you enjoy the photos and i can’t WAIT for the wedding. PARRRTAAAAYY!!!!

unstoppable

shanti wants in on the fun too

stunning

can’t leave out the bling

i had to add this one…just look at shanti’s face!!!! insanely cute with eyes of sorrow

michelle and john. i describe them as the hottest couple in the world and i simply adore them. here’s a little sneak peek of their engagement shoot at griffith observatory. it warms my heart to experience and see the love you both have for each other. it’s moments like these that make all the hardships in life worthwhile.  it’s cheesy but true. more pics to come soon…

though i don’t really follow baseball, going to the games is still fun–especially if you sit next to a bunch of rowdy fans! couldn’t pass up free tickets so i took ting and tim to the dodgers vs. cubs game.  we acted like we knew what was going on but in all honestly..we just went for the all-you-can-eat food and beer. it’s fun peeling peanuts then all of a sudden standing up to do the wave so all your peanut shells fly everywhere. that’s basically what was happening all night.

oh, i also think ALL sports arenas should provide vuvuzelas…….vvvvvvvvvvvvzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. enjoyssssssss!

beautiful cali day

creeper tim

this bossman took all his employees to the game and they made him down beer. what an awesome boss

props to the grass mowers

wish i brought my tripod, this was the only decent shot i got of LA from the parking lot

doggahs!

bamboozle stopped by LA to perform at the hollywood palladium and tiff and i had the opportunity to assist at some of the band photo shoots for the ready set, forever the sickest kids, and hellogoodbye. after the shoots, we stopped by the actual concert to listen in. not my style but seems like all the screaming youngins had fun.

forever the sickest kids shoot – super funny and easy to shoot since they sang the whole time

done with all the shoots – exhausted
