carrie and brad

Have you ever had a friend that was the complete opposite of you? So much so, you often wonder how you’re friends in the first place? Meet Carrie. One of my love-her-to-death-closest-friends. She and I are SO different. Ya see, Care is “high-heel wearing, corporate world working, intelligent, goal oriented, tall, athletic, and beautiful.   I, on the other hand, stay in my pajamas all day, work from home, am simple minded, not so goal oriented, go with the flow, short, totally not athletic and I’m much more on the cute side than the beautiful one.  See….we’re opposites.

But, back in 2002 we were both into scrapbooking and shared our pages online at http://www.twopeasinabucket.com

That is what started 8 years of friendship. Scrapbooking. Who knew? Ever since then we have daily emails, cried and laughed more times than I can count. We’ve both had multiple trips back and forth from OK to TX, trips to San Francisco and Mexico, I even see her family more than I see some of my own! I just love this girl and am so thankful for her friendship.  (and if you know me at all….I must really mean that, because I don’t get all mushy-lovey-dovey that often) Ha!

So anyway, on to the pictures. A few months ago while doing sessions down in Houston I cut out some time for Carrie & Brad. I was excited and knew it would be a good time….Brad is a fun loving guy who has a way of making any situation enjoyable. (he also gives me a “noogie” every time I see him, but that’s beside the point)

Loved this wall:

Love how happy they look in these next two:

awwwww:

a little dancing in the park:

Now, these next few were so much fun.

Brad: ah, come on honey, let’s take some in the water fountains.

Care: Okay, but let me take my shoes off, I don’t want to get them wet.

Me, to myself: OMG, he’s totally going to put her in the water!!!

By this point, I kind of had it figured out….she was going in the water, but I really didn’t think he had the “you know whats” to do it. I mean, she was all dolled up and had a nice pretty dress on….. would he??? really?

Yes, he did.  And that’s the only shot I got of it…..because I was laughing SO hard!!

I did get some of the apology and name calling though. Ha!

I told you he was a fun lovin’ guy. =)
