goodbye august.

well, another summer has come to a close and i can't lie, i am saddened.
i've always heard that life as a whole tends to "speed up" with age but was never really convinced.
this summer, however, may have changed my mind - it seemed to just fly by.

life kept me pretty occupied and i wasn't able to blog as much as i would have liked.
so, like in july, i've decided to sum up the month of august via photos :)
*warning: this post is verrrry image heavy.

UPDATE:
while riding bikes in santa monica, jenn and i (mostly i) were accosted by this british dude.
words were exchanged, a fake number was given and all was forgotten.
flash forward to this weekend when our bro-in-law in tags us both in a video on facebook with a caption that read, "holy sh*t, it's you guys!"

*fast forward to 1:25...lol...smh.

part of me is dying of laughter because what are the odds while the other part of me is creeped out.
i always tell people how i'm soooo hypervigilant due to my many years of watching law and order: svu.
apparently i'm not as aware as i thought, lol.
