New Headshots

I was in desperate need of some new headshots (to put in different places, like this website), so I took some this afternoon. Our house has an interesting red wall, and I have a purple sweater, so it seemed like a perfect combination. There are definitely some outtakes in here, especially since I was singing along with the radio halfway through! Click here if you can’t view the slideshow.

This is for my mom, the Mary Kay consultant:
Foundation: Cream to powder Foundation, Bronze 1
Eye colors: Precious Pink, Raisin, Sweet Plum, Granite, Coal
Blush: Golden Copper
Lip colors: Black Cherry, with a little MAC Lip Lacquer in “Varneesh”

“It Tells a Story”

A while back, I took this photo of David’s parents (my future in-laws!) as they walked toward the pool in the summer. It was sunset, and they were holding hands and looking so sweet… I couldn’t resist. Later, David asked what to give them for their 51st wedding anniversary. I thought of this photo, and David worked for hours to build a beautiful frame for it. Upon receiving it, my future father-in-law said, “It tells a story.” I am so happy they liked it!

Summer’s End

It’s been a long time since my last post, and it’s been a busy summer. After Christi’s shower, I hurt my back, so I haven’t been doing much. I moved houses; I now live with David and our four cats (!). By moving day, I was in pain and not much help, but luckily David helped every step of the way. What would I do without him!

Between that, planning the wedding, and starting a new school year with my students, nothing’s happened except the occasional photograph. Here are a few favorites:

And getting splashed…

I did a lot of packing, and we decided to keep my dishes.

I gave some things to my little cousin Lanette, who has a new apartment.

Then, it was David’s birthday. His sister sent him a bouquet… of fruit! I’ve always been skeptical of these things, but it was pretty good.

I gave him a wallet.

It replaced his old one.

My cat had trouble adjusting to the move (she’s all right now).

We got our first engagement present! It’s beautifully wrapped.

It’s been a quiet and busy summer. I believe we’re caught up now!
