LETS.DO.LUNCH.[or dinner]

kymberli and al rule!

at the start of this year, i was stoked to know that someone was reading my blog. and that someone was kymberli. i guess she had quietly stalked my blog for a short time, and when she came out of hiding and commented, i was struck. i thought only the big shots had frequent blog readers [other than their mom or neighbor], and when i found out that someone had randomly found my online scribbling of thoughts & images, and STILL decided to come back for more... well, i think "honored" is too fancy.  i was straight-up stoked.

so, last night carlie & i had the wonderful pleasure of hanging out with the quackenbushes at one of my favorite pizza joints. we got to hear their story, share a little of ours, and just enjoy each others company. i had read earlier this year, from a psychological study, that people are more happy, not from the amount of money they make, or the amount of time they have; but the number one indicator was found to be the frequency with which they share a meal with friends.

so al & kymberli, thanks for making our day a bit brighter! and thanks for the gift & card [the two love-birds happened to have picked the perfect gift... a couple of small vintage photo frames that totally go with our style at home]. we would have been just as happy to have shared a good meal, but on top of that, to get something new & shiny... way cool! this couple gets it.

thanks new friends. we will miss you in vegas, but can't wait to hang out again. rock on.

kymberli... where are you? you thought you could escape the lens for this one. so busted. well, here's al [of kymberli & al quackenbush] with my smokin' hot bride [and no her neck isn't really as long as it looks... ahemGIRRAFEahem] & myself.
