These two lovebirds are getting married in ONE MONTH! Can’t wait.  I really love this one… How in the world would I have an “in action” shot like this??! OH!! Right....

Heidi - Amazing! These pictures really make me miss home…Ohio. Cincinnati is so beautiful looking in these pictures and we sure miss it! I used to intern at Ohio Magazine which was by Fountain Square and spent so many wonderful times on the Riverfront. We are making a quick tip to Cinci in July; I sure wish I had more time and could take in the city that we love!
