lyss + rory, red rock canyon, nevada

these two are the reason I do what I do.  they are the most genuine people you could ever meet.

lyss loves people. 

like, all in loves them.  while this day was about them, I found lyss talking to me and antonio (yes my hubs got to come along too!) about our future and giving us such godly and wise advice that we will cherish forever. 

rory is her rock. 

he is the calm, cool and collected one as lyss would say and right now he is in medical school in the freaking Caribbean!  how jealous are you!? rory has such a kind heart and loves lyss so well.

these two have the best love story.  they have been long distance for most of their relationship and are always supporting each other going after their dreams.  they both started off in Illinois and then headed their separate ways.  lyss went to work with high schoolers at a local church in Las Vegas, while rory pursued medical school in the Caribbean. 

this trip was full of adventures from the las vegas strip, to the beautiful Red Rock Canyon, to a rare patch of las vegas greenery at Floyd Lamb Park.  since I was able to bring the hubby along it was like a giant double date.  we had so much fun and I seriously cannot wait till their las vegas new years eve wedding.  yes. I said new years eve. in las vegas :)
