Shots from the Weekend.
















Try and imagine deciding where to live as newlyweds. One person wants to live in a cozy and spacious place. The other wants the city yet safe feeling. One person wants enough room to fit all their furniture into the space provided. The other wants to have a cute study or separate room to study and work in. Both are determined to find a place to call home for awhile.

This situation is not hard for me to imagine b/c this situation basically describes Bryan and I. We have been on the quest to start searching for a new home for us come May, our first home as a married couple. After days of researching online, we narrowed down our choices to two. Both were very different from the other but had some similarities. However, once we saw THE place, we knew this was going to be our home for awhile. Here is the twist. We weren't expecting to find a loft in South Kansas City! We only thought those existed in downtown KC. So, in the end, we ended up winning both ways. We get to live in a loft layout, have a deck with a beautiful view of three gorgeous lakes, feel safe at all times (this place has controlled access and we have to buzz people in to enter our building...I get to live out my dream of living like Monica and Rachel from Friends!), have a pool/sand volleyball court/beach-style pool and live close enough to the area I currently live in and love! To say Bryan and I are excited about this soon-to-be new place of ours is an understatement!

This was the start to an awesome weekend! We got some wedding planning tasks taken care of, hung out with friends and even got to see Avatar in the IMAX 3D experience-don't make fun of how hot we look in our 3D glasses (Bryan told me this was a MUST-SEE kind of movie and I have to say it was pretty darn good!). I am still in awe of how Avatar in the IMAX version is selling out every one of its shows after a month of being released in theater. In Bryan's words, "It is just THAT awesome." I think aside from finding our new home once we get married, we were blessed with some VERY exciting news. Our good friends, RJ and Laura, whom I was supposed to do a maternity session this weekend for, ended up having their precious little boy, Robert Steven Agge on Friday night. We got to visit them this weekend and see baby Robbie who is just so stinking cute! Both Laura and Robert are doing wonderful! I cannot wait to smother him with my camera and capture RJ and Laura being kick-butt parents! They are such a cute family.

Hope everyone had a warm and wonderful weekend. It's supposed to be a heat wave this week with temperatures approaching above the freezing mark, so watch out! It's going to get toasty or at least be nice enough to walk outside without it hurting. Enjoy some pictures of our soon-to-be new place and our goofy 3D pictures (don't judge!).
