All of our Cali Pictures are Up...be sure to take a look at them. Let me warn you ...if you don't like blue skies and beaches...chances are..you're not going to like our vacation pictures ;)
The majority were taken with our fisheye lens...we wanted to capture 180 degrees of everything. There's very little post-processing...and you will notice that there's misty stuff in some of our beach shots...we couldn't control the wind :)

p.s.a double whammy...we blogged twice today..see below.

California Love
So we've made it to California, and it is absolutely not disappointing....we are stoked to finally be here.
A few fun facts about California we've learned so far:
*The San Francisco Airport has no signs telling you how to get anywhere and has very few employees that are wiling to take a minute to help...
*We met a guy named Wesley on the flight from SFO to LAX who is leading a cub scouts group of 16 boys...we are so not envious.
*There are stop lights on many of the on-ramps for the highways where only 2 cars are allowed thru in each late at one time....
*Gas is cheaper here than in Charlotte....but not food! :)
*Hotels like to charge parking fees...and then tax on top of those fees...and our hotel had us wait in line at 2:55 with about 6 other customers until the clock said 3:00 and then they checked us in...
*We drove thru Inglewood after getting our rental car from LAX and didn't see any up-and-coming rappers on the streets...may have to go back thru this evening.
*The LA Convention Center is huge...and green...never seen anything quite like that...
We're headed to Fred62...a diner down the street from where we are staying in Hollywood that has gotten solid reviews and has been frequented by many of the Hollywood crowd.
...feels like we should add the twittering aspect to our blog.....

Lauren & Matt Engaged!
...thank you to all who are excited about our "Oli". We get him when we return from Cali! That's right kiddos...we are off to Cali bright and early tomorrow morning. We'll be blogging our adventures right here on this blog with you... (I know...you can hardly bear much more excitment!)
Daniel and I had a FABULOUS weekend. We did a fitness (Body for Life) shoot with a friend from college. Her pictures are amazing...but...well...those won't be shared with the world...they are for her :) We also had a photoshoot with two of my favorite SWU people: Brett & Jes. They were both RAs in my building that I was RLC (Residence Life Coordinator) for. For those of you who haven't followed me for long...my Master's is in Student Affairs Administration for Higher Education (Cheyenne...you may be the only one who knows what that is...since you have the same degree ;). So I digress....Brett and Jes are amazing people..we shot their wedding...and now...one year later they came to visit and got some great shots...with their labra-doodle, Cali. Those will be coming when we return from C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A!!
...back to the post at hand..Lauren & Matt. She's funny and bubbly..he's gentle and kind...the two together make love look easy...and are in for the ride of a lifetime: marriage! Check out a few of the MANY favorites we took on that day...or go here to see them on flickr...and if you haven't had enough...go to the end of this post...and watch the slideshow of pictures set to music!!

Hiking for pleasure?
So I know we promised Hong Kong pictures, but we're going to wait on them until we can do some editing....sorry 'bout that. :)
Today we climbed part of Seven Star mountain with Matt and Rachel, and two of their friends, Daniel and Andrea (who are engaged to be married in February!). We weren't nearly as nimble and in-shape on the mountain as the other 4, but we made it within 200 meters of the top and were told that it counted as getting to the top. So we'll take it. One of the most fun things, was seeing these older Taiwanese adults walking the mountain like it was an escalator.....makes you realize why no one over here is overweight. Americans could learn something.....We had a gentleman serenade us while passing us going down the mountain and telling us he was 60...hence the picture of him ahead of us.
After the hike, we stopped and got some seriously authentic food. Don't even ask, because I don't know the names (though there was some chicken and rice in there!). Candice may be able to remember better....but as long as it tastes good, I don't ask questions.
Since it is the Moon Festival holiday weekend, we are going to a bar-b-que tonight with a number of friends and will likely try some food that we might never try again!
And we had to attach one picture of our sweet nephew.

...This greyhound is delta bound...
...take me home......Okay. So not really...though I love 'Home' by Marc Broussard. Daniel and I are headed to Myrtle Beach this weekend....YAY! We are so looking forward to having a mini-vacation for the weekend! Pictures will be taken, lots of sun will be soaked in, and FOOD of wonderful tastes will be eaten. Ahhh. I love the beach!
In other news...not much is going on in the Lanning household. Daniel and I are in the process of selling our house in Michigan and we should close on the house July 27, Lord willing. Please pray with us that all will go through and that the buyer would be blessed by it. For those of you who didn't know...Daniel and I have been paying 2 mortgages since we've been married....now don't get me wrong, this is not a complaint...this is a praise report! The Lord provided for Daniel and I the whole time to be able to do both...now...we've learned how to live without that money...and live off of less. God is so good and so faithful and his plans have been perfect from the start.
I read this today....and felt like it applied to my statements about our house...and more than that...my life.
