Chris + Erica + A Couple of Adorable Kids

If you've read this blog for long, or if you know me, you've probably heard of Chris before. Chris is an old friend of mine. I'm still not quite sure how we became friends back in elementary school and I'm not 100% sure how we've managed to stay good friends, but we have. When we were little, Chris made fun of me for running from bees on the soccer field. In high school, I sat with Chris and a couple other good friends, almost every day for 4 years. We always had the same lunch time. We also were in musicals together. In fact, we played a mean Mammy and Pappy in Lil' Abner our senior year. Chris would come over after school to run lines, but before we could, he made me drive him to Sonic (in my sweet little '90 Honda Accord...loved that car) and buy him a banana shake with extra bananas.

WHOA!

In College, I remember getting a late-night message from Chris saying he was heading out soon for boot camp to become a Marine. After he finished 4 years of that, he took some time off and signed with the Army. He's currently on a short leave from Afghanistan.

Since he's been home, he got engaged to Erica!! =) I don't think I've ever seen Chris this happy, so of course I'm happy for them. Erica had talked to me a few weeks ago about doing some pictures of her and her kids and some of her and Chris too. Turns out, we got to do a little engagement session too! We had a blast! I'm so glad we were able to do these and that they're getting to see them before he heads back! Congrats guys!!! =)
