Just in case you didn’t know. We both grew up there. Well…Whitney actually grew up all over the place. Florida. Texas. Virginia. Hawaii. But mostly in Nebraska.

So we thought we would give a little shoutout to our homefront. We’re not gonna lie… there are things (although the list isn’t incredibly long) that we love about Nebraska. And then there is this…

Although this video reinforces every stereotype about Nebraska… we had to share it. It’s just too good to keep tucked away. I laughed for minutes when I first saw this. I hope it brightens your day as it did mine.

A few weeks ago we had the absolute pleasure of heading back to good ol’ NE to shoot the lovely day of Matt+Laura. Seeing that Laura is Whitney’s BFF, she actually got the chance to put the camera down and party. My good friend Tyler not only filled in, but he clicked the shutter like he was born to do it. As soon as he’s done dominating the world of copywriting… he should most definitely be looking at the world through the viewfinder.

Without any further adue…

Tyler just doin’ what it takes…

We now have officially played RED ROVER while at a wedding. I bet you never have.

For those who are wondering… Whitney actually took this.

Matt+Laura- We really cannot begin to share with words how much you both mean to us. We will never be the same for having known you. The only thing we were wondering about is why you still are living in Texas. That should definitely change in the near future. We trust in the amazing journey that God has set before you both. Thanks for sharing your life with us. We love you deeply.

So my apologies for the random iPhone posts the last few days. We’ve been mega busy trying to get some deliverables ready for a bunch of clients. Buuut….. Tonight we are chillin out watchin the Goonies out on the lawn @ the Seattle center. Admiteddly, I’ve never actually seen this movie, so I’m pretty stoked.

Matt+Laura… If you are reading this I’m gonna stay up late and get your blog up, so check back in the a.m.

Cheers friends!

Our friends Tori & Karen invited us out to the game tonight. We couldn’t resist the gorgous weather and ball park food.

Tori just downed all the garlic left over from her fries in one bite. Sweet.
