Holy Island

No comments about our Ireland sob story? None? Seriously? I thought Nathan's confirmation number bit was hilarious.


Today we went to Holy Island. I forgot my camera, unfortunately, but Amy and Sam will tag us in their pictures on Facebook. 

Luckily, this didn't happen.

We still haven't decided what we're going to do tomorrow. G'night.

Got My Hurr Did

I got my hair cut on Friday for the first time in over six months, and boy did it feel good! It was raining (shocking) all afternoon and evening, so I tried to preserve my 'do enough to get a decent picture when I got home. 

I burst through the door and asked Nathan to take a few snaps. He took one. "There you go," he said. He handed me the camera, and I looked at the picture he took. The whole frame was full of just my rear end. Sigh... I'm glad he thinks I'm cute, but really!

After some cajoling, he took a few more.

And then I tried to get some by myself. I think I took 20+ pictures before giving up and settling on these two. I kept capturing images of the stone wall. I don't have very good aim, I suppose. Sorry  for the glare in the picture below. I wasn't mad. :)

Thus ends the story of the day I got my hair cut.

One of the Prettiest Sandwiches I've Made

Wish you were here to eat it with me.

We Missed Our Calling

Thanks to Kate's photographic genius, I think we were supposed to be models. Check out our friend Kate's blog. She's getting her photography business off the ground and asked us to be subjects for her website. Um... YES! She got some really cute shots. Thanks for being so awesome for putting up with our shenanigans Kate!

A Picture From Jim and Courtney's Wedding

Courtney just got back her wedding pictures, and she e-mailed this one to me from her photographer. I was diagnosed with diabetes the day before their beautiful wedding, which now seems like a long time ago. :)

Hair Pictures

Can you tell that these pictures were taken early this morning? The bags under my eyes clearly communicate this fact. Anyway, I took some hair pictures for my mom to see. I definitely have a "hair pictures face." Kristi does the pouty lips for her hair pictures. I do the Michael Jordan tongue.

Thrift Store Fashion Show

So, I was in charge of date night last night, and I blindfolded Nathan and took him to the Smyrna Thrift Store. We got there 30 minutes before closing, and I gave him a $2 budget, but Nathan came away with several treats using most of his discretionary fund for the month. He got three plaid collared shirts, a dark blue corduroy sport coat, and the beauties you see displayed here (a plaid sport coat and some shoes that "really support [his] arches").

He was actually planning on wearing this outfit to work, but after a lot of pleading, I convinced him to at least put on a white collared shirt under the blazer. No amount of begging would get him to put on black shoes, a black belt, or nicer pants. He just wanted me to take pictures of him modeling his new digs. I personally think the look is borderline used car salesman/sex offender. He may be a horrible dresser, but at least he makes me laugh!

One goal down...

Done

and done!

Good Hair Day

One cool thing about working at Whitefield is that they give you the day off for your birthday. Since my birthday is now a summer birthday (May 27), I got to pick when I wanted to "celebrate" it. I picked yesterday because we already had Monday off. I woke up late, showered and shaved my legs, did my nails and hair... things I rarely do all in one morning. It was fabulous! I'll have you know that I went strolling through the aisles at Target feeling like a million bucks. I should do my hair more often. :)
Hope you like my new 'do!
