You know, it’s funny. My calendar says it’s June 12, 2009, but I could swear it’s April. I mean, really, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much rain in April and that’s a month dedicated to showers! So, in light of this rain, I thought I’d pull out some winter pictures for those of us that are feeling a little bogged down that summer isn’t quite being summer and make us all appreciate that it is actually warmer, even if it’s not the typical warm, sunny June weather we’re accustomed to.
Before I do that, though, I have something to share about Mr. Hallmark. I don’t know how to say this exactly, but here it goes: my better half is not a fan of summer…or anything above 55 degrees, period. True story. Don’t ask me how it’s possible because it’s not something I’ll ever come close to comprehending, but this post is also for the two of you cold weather lovers out there: may the memories of bitter cold be sweet as you view this beauty in her scarf and winter coat. :)
In the midst of winter frigidness, my dear friend, Katie posed for some pictures. Katie and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. She is one of those friends that no matter how crazy our lives get or how long it’s been since we’ve seen each other, we can always pick up right where we left off. She’s literally like my 5th sister. We been through a lot of different points in our lives together and I adore her. She’s an uber talented musical theater singer, who is going to make it super big, and she’s an absolute sweetheart. She’s intelligent, beautiful, funny, and incredibly dedicated to those she loves. We grew up in California down the street from each other and everytime I see her in this big city, I feel like I’m a little closer to California and my family. What a gift to give somebody. With each year, I feel increasingly lucky to call her my friend. Eat your heart out, boys, she’s hot stuff!
Here are a few of my favorites of my childhood buddy, Katie – singer, model, friend, extraordinaire.
