/// Justin & Natalie Upton

What we do ///
Justin <> VP of Product Development for an ATM company
Natalie <> Stay At Home Mama for Finley Girl! I'm so happy I've had this time to slow down and enjoy life's beautiful moments.   

Our Favorite thing to do together ///
We love being together.  We don't care what we're doing!  Justin loves to surf.  He's the best when he comes off of the water!  I like to hang out on the beach and watch him in his element. When we first started dating, Justin tried to teach me to surf. I prefer just paddling around and hanging out on the board. 

How we met ///
Brandi and Jacob introduced us! Justin and Brandi have been friends with each other since high school.  Long story short... I was a District Manager for Abercrombie & Fitch and got promoted to Houston.  A friend introduced me to Brandi and we became fast friends.  Brandi and Jacob had a Valentine's Day party for their "single" friends and I was the only girl!!  Justin and I met that night.  We were dating a month later.  We've been together for 3 years and married for a year and a half.  

Favorite thing about him ///
I love so many things about Justin.  My favorite things about him are his sense of humor, and his ability to do anything he puts his mind to.  He's amazing!  He can play almost any instrument, and he is always surprising me with some random skill he has.  His love for me is something I cannot believe I lived without for so much of my life.  He always takes amazing care of me, and wants to make me happy every day.  To top it all off... my Husband is the most amazing Dad to our Finley Girl.  It's the sexiest.  

Favorite thing about her ///
Natalie is the Yin to my Yang.  When I am excited and overzealous, she calms me down.  When I am trying to wing it, she is always prepared and with a plan.  She's up for anything, which is great for me because it gets me out of the house.  She's the most selfless person I've ever met.  

Favorite places to shop ///
His <>  All Saints, Zara, Urban Outiftters
Hers <>  All Saints, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters and I still love getting classics from Abercrombie & Fitch.... I also adore rompers.  I would wear one every day if I could.  I don't care if they are "in style" or not! 

Currently Jammin' ///
We both love Ben Harper so much, our daughter's middle name is Harper!  Other than that, we dig Indie music, and anything we can dance to.  We listen to anything and everything.  

For sh*ts and giggles
Him <>  I hate shirts.  I take them off the minute I get in the door and would prefer to never wear one again.  (Justin is a secret romantic.  No one can believe it, but he remembers the oddest little tidbits I say and then spoils me rotten! -Natalie)

Her <>  My Dad is a YMCA Camping CEO. I've lived at Camp virtually my whole life and because of that,  would be a worthy contestant for the Hunger Games.

I was organizing photos on the computer and when I came across these I got the biggest smile on my face. I felt like we were there again. Some of our best times have been on the beach. We can't ever seem to get enough. You can never go wrong with good friends, sand in your toes and a yummy grill sesh. Then top it off with a perfect sunset, wooooooo baby! Take me back!
2 1/2 weeks and we are there!
Encinitas here we come!
