Our Two Year Anniversary Pictures Look Like A Gap Ad

by Angela on 9 Jan ’12

It’s kind of like Ghost Writer. “We don’t know where he came from; he just showed up one night.” That’s what happened with our anniversary photo. I really wanted to wear a dress so I went to the Gap to search the clearance rack and found this dress that was probably like a cabillion dollars on sale for $20! My husband who has never ever been in a Gap store found shirt for $10 that just happened to match my dress. And that is how our anniversary picture became a Gap advertisement.

I am wearing some not Chuck Taylors in the picture because none of my shoes fit me anymore. Lose weight = drop two shoe sizes. This should make me happy but it doesn’t because I don’t want to have to go out to buy new shoes. I’m not really a shoe gal, but I guess I must buy shoes now.

Back to my anniversary, two years ago I married an amazing man. I don’t want to say all those cliche things that people always say about marrying my best friend (which I did) and being really happy (which I am). Honestly, the people who knew me P.M. (Pre Marriage) were probably ready to drown me in a lake because I wasn’t really happy at all. I can say this now because hindsight is 20/20 you know. But A.M. (After Marriage) I am much happier. I see the brighter side of things, I make things work and I don’t stress like I once did. I owe this to my husband because he balances out my high strungness and makes me stop and think about things…instead of just stressing. He’s a really good person who has taught me the ways of being a better person. Plus, he really makes me laugh and smile when I’m not interested in doing so and that’s a hard thing. So he’s pretty much the best person in the world for me and I love him. Now I’m ending the mushy stuff so you can see the Gap ad!

And I took these photos myself because we’re too cheap to pay anyone to do it…and I like to fancy myself a photographer.

I Haven’t Picked Up My Camera In 10 Days

And that’s a truly horrible thing. That’s why I haven’t posted anything to my blog because I haven’t taken one single picture so today I am going to share completely random pictures with you and amazingly most of them have to do with food. The month of July is always a busy month for me so the fact there is randomness here shouldn’t surprise anyone. But I promise to get back to my camera because I am working on a lot of projects that I can photograph and share with everyone. I have two words for you: blue cabinet! Look forward to sharing the pictures with you!

Why I Should Always Have My Camera With Me

by Angela on 21 Jun ’11

Driving around on Sunday I missed the perfect shot! Can you believe it? Everyone has camera phones and there are cute little apps to make your pictures better, but I’m bummed I didn’t have my real camera with me to capture this moment. The picture could have been so much better and it could have been one my favorite pictures. Instead I’m left with this, which is great because I’m sharing it with all of your right now, it just could have been better.

I have no idea what happened here but this was just not a busted pipe, there was a massive hole in the ground and all of the water (tax and monthly water utility money) was spewing from the ground. I couldn’t tell if someone took off with the fire hydrant (because there was no hydrant at the scene of the crime, just a water utility car) or not. It was spraying all over the cars and the ground was probably putting out a big sigh of relief and soaking up that water so fast. We’ve been in a drought for almost 2 months and some towns around here have already gone on water restriction. Good to know while some are on water restriction, my city is just letting the water flow onto the street. It was still exciting though.
