may: jamie & leslie's incredible wedding...

Brook & I had the distinct pleasure of heading to sunny Los Angeles for Jamie & Leslie's wedding over the first weekend of May. Brook was honored to be Jamie's best man, and I was thrilled to tag along. We caught up with lots of friends and had a spectacular time on a weekend adventure (without kids!)!

The lovely rehearsal luncheon...

The wedding itself was so amazing. It was held in a "secret" location and all of the details were so unique and beautiful. The food was beyond delicious and the event was overall one-of-a-kind incredible!

April was busy! We closed on the new house, Uncle Jamie & Aunt Leslie came to visit from San Francisco, the Schaffers came from Denver, and Brook & I flew to LA on the last day of the month... lots of fun was had by all! (Photo credit goes to the Lovely Miss Leslie K. Thanks Les!)
