Kathleen and Mike are so stinkin adorable with each other. How he holds her hand, kisses her shoulder and how she beams from ear to ear with a smile, every time she looks at him. Even when I say no smiling!, that big beautiful smile of hers just can’t contain herself when she’s with her best friend. With his gentleness and the way she looks at him, I can tell that their love is absolutely to the core. Kathleen and Mike, I am so excited for August, and can’t wait to get a tour of your new house!
We headed back to the University of Maryland, where they both went to school (me too!), and to where they had a class together. I’m sure they got a ton of work done sitting together in the back ;) Go terps!


Testudo, our mascot, brings good luck if you rub his nose. There are a couple on campus, and many people will leave him gifts. That day we saw a cigarette, a book, pencil, and a Pepsi. Apparently all the things needed to get through school…well minus the cigarette. Yuck Testudo, don’t do it!



You go girl! I LOVE her gray dress!
Kathleen has the most AH-MAZ-ING eyes.


Mike isn’t so bad himself. He’s sooo cute. But I guess guys don’t like to be called ‘cute.’ Handsome, he’s handsome.


Kathleen trying to contain her NEED to smile :)




This is my favorite from the session. I mean really, look at her eyes. Fierce. And I got stuck with poop colored. Humpf.
Snuck a kiss while I was inside Ratsies.
