This past week Troy & I made it out to our FAVORITE place – Forest Home! I grew up going to summer camp every year with my family…so it has a very special place in my heart. My dream as a kid was to someday work in the snack shop & make yummy shakes for all the campers. In college I did end up working at Forest Home…but not in the shake shack. I was on the recreation team life guarding at the lake and operating the challenge course. Those were some of the most fun summers of my life! Not to mention I met my sister’s husband & worship guru Brian Wurzell there…and I also met my Troy :)
Our day trip up to the mountain was SO much fun! I even ran into my friend and co-lifeguard Brother Nature – he looked pretty epic by his truck :) Seriously, this place has had an incredible impact on our lives! We love you FoHo!

This post made me so happy! I grew up going to Forest Home as well and I also met my husband there one summer while he was working at Indian Village. Thanks for making my day!
-
I ALSO met my husband there, when I was 15, so that would be 30 years ago now! We have lived up there and been on staff too! And we both were saved up there, me way back in Jr. High! Love, Love, LOVE… that place! It was nice meeting both of you at Brittney and Jeremy’s wedding last weekend! Can’t wait to see your amazing pictures!

so wonderful! I live down the hill in Redlands and my church goes there for every church picnic :) Your story is so sweet!..silly question: I love your toes in the pool! Is that a french/american pedi?
-
So awesome Sarah – i love Redlands charm :) My toes were painted with OPI’s new Shrek line – the polish was called Rumple’s Wiggin :) The pool must have made them look fancier than they were!
Last night we went to the Utterly Engaged one year anniversary party & took home this cartoon of us drawn by Carton Slinger. It was SUCH a fun experience! He drew us in just two minutes! How great would it be to have a cartoonist at your wedding? Don’t you just love that he even gave us little cameras? This is definitely a framer!
My wife Aimee told me that I look kind of goofy sometimes when taking pictures. I didn’t believe her but then she showed me this picture she took of me. haha
I call it my photographers stance ;)
-
Nice! You’re getting a good quad workout! I hang upside down…. and hold my camera wrong until I’m twisted up like a weirdo! And I wonder why I’m sore the next day. :)
-
haha. that’s awesome. i find myself doing weird things, as well. i thought it was just because i was an amateur. glad to see the pros do it, too.
Just got in to Las Vegas today. When I come to Las Vegas I have always stayed on the strip, but this time we have a wedding at The Ritz Carlton on Lake Las Vegas. It’s such a different feel of Vegas and I absolutely love it. The resort is beautiful and I can’t wait for the wedding tomorrow. Here’s a picture that Cory took of me while we were scouting out locations for tomorrow’s wedding and I was on the phone at the time figuring out dinner plans for the night with Aimee.
-
Nice buddy! Have fun….i’ve been there for a friends wedding….it is a different type of Vegas feel..
