The month started off grande with my Beloved and I soaking in each others presence. We ventured off into the woods for some couples shots courtesy of my Moose Friend Chae. She caught some moments that capture the playfulness that envelopes our love for each other. Here are a few from the 100 she took....
Its been really nice having the summer off to enjoy a slower pace and downtime with my Turtle. We've had the opportunity to go on some hot dates, take an enriching faith & marriage class, and cut up the dance floor at the many weddings July had to offer. We've even caught a little baby fever...Who knows what the next year may bring. Maybe a new beauty or beast to add to the 4ACE crew.
Love was in the air all month as we went to wedding after wedding. Here is a shot of the kids at their auntie Racquel's wedding. It was a fun-filled night and a wedding that was fit for the magazines in grandeur. Atticus made a point to romance the older chicks by serving them Shirly Temples with a smile and catering to their needs. He is quite the catch ladies...his charm and massages are the result of a well trained boy.
In other news,the crew and I made sure to get plenty of Vitamin D on a daily basis, whether we were basking in the sun at the park, swimming with Papa Shawn at the pool, or enjoying the beautiful beaches... 
Char-pagne-in-the-brain turned 16 this month and invited the whole bunch to La Jolla Shores for an all day beach party and bonfire as the sun set. These kids are growing up wayyyyy too fast! I remember her in pigtails with all kinds of candy and treats in her little purse...now she wears her hair down, looks like a gorgeous young woman, still with all kinds of candy in her purse. 
About mid-month, the cousin decided to bless me with his presence while on a school break. Now I have a roomate that understands my humor and will run with me whenever I ask. It's pretty awesome. We've been training at the stadium once a week. This rascal really kicks my butt, but the pay-off is awesome! Last week we ran a 7:46 mile. I haven't ran like that since I was forced to run the mile in 7th grade P.E....even then, I could only run a 7:49. Thanks cuz.
July has also allowed plenty of opportunity to brush up on my photography. I'm still learning the mechanics of it all, but here are some pics from my summer sessions (4acephotography.blogspot.com)
That's all for now. Hoping for a great August in preparation of lots of big events! Hasta Luego.
