Our good friends Pat and Theo also had a baby girl in April, and we’ve been wanting to meet little Anna for a while now! Mio and I went to visit their beautiful family this past Sunday. It was Mio and Anna’s first playdate together, although they don’t really “play” so much as sleep, drink, and cry at this age. Still, it was really nice to see Pat and Theo again and share baby stories, and of course meet sweet baby Anna! I can’t wait for Mio and Anna to become friends in the future… π

Mio got all dressed up in her cute sailor dress to meet her friend Anna!
Swapping babies!
Adorable Anna letting out a big yawn. Mio is a behemoth in comparison.
Anna and Mio: future BFFs! (I love Anna's raised arm!)
The next time we’ll see each other will most likely be during the winter holidays — I can’t wait to see how much they’ve both grown by then! π
With our own first wedding anniversary coming up in a couple days, we wanted to take a moment to congratulate all our dear friends who have tied the knot this summer. The brides all looked stunning, the grooms looked handsome, and whether or not we were able to attend their weddings, our warmest wishes go out to them as they embark on the journey of life together.
June 20, 2009: Pat and Theo. Pat is one of my closest friends and her wedding reception was well-worth the cross-country trip. They had their Thai and Vietnamese ceremonies earlier in the day, and held a huge reception in the evening.
June 27, 2009: Taka and Luke. I had the honor of being one of the bridesmaids at their wedding in Jacksonville, Florida. They were engaged even before Dan and I, but the wait made their wedding all the more sweet. I love this photo of them in Japanese kimono.
May 30, 2009: My graphic design classmate Alli had the Hokie bird at her wedding! How awesome is that? I am insanely jealous. And of course, Alli herself looks gorgeous.
July 11, 2009: YonMi and Jae Yoon. A 7-11 couple! I love this photo of them standing in front of their wedding date. I've known YonMi since high school and we attended Virginia Tech together as well. We've both come a long way.
July 11, 2009: Jay and Kourtney. Another 7-11 couple! Although I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Kourtney, I remember the way Jay's eyes lit up when he told me about her and their upcoming wedding at a Christmas party last year. He told me they were planning on taking a photo in front of a 7-11 on their wedding day (much like YonMi did) - can't wait to see the picture!
July 18, 2009: Legare and Chris. They just tied the knot last weekend! Legare (also known as Robbie) and I were JCA officers together while at Virginia Tech, and I remember the excitement with which she told me about her engagement last year, and was more than happy to help her with wedding advice when she needed it. We regret that we couldn't make it to the wedding, but we wish them nothing but the best.
Cheers to each couple’s happily ever after! We hope that all of them are basking in newlywed bliss.
I will leave you with this video of a hilariously funny, creative wedding entrance that I saw the other day on YouTube. It’ll be sure to put a smile on your face.
