Mischievous and I like it

I love a smirk. I mean really it is probably one of my favorite types of smiles... so much still secret and mischievous about it.

Yep, officially one of my favorite smiles.

So one of the great and horrible things about procrastination is that you forget about doing what you needed to do in the first place. Chris and I have been married since August of 2008. I still haven't fixed my passport. I guess I could always claim that out of principle I wanted to wait till it was out of date before paying for a new one but I will no the truth: lazy. I keep thinking "Oh, yea. . . I should mail that in" but never seem to and I have finally come up with a great excuse, you ready?

In order for anyone to get a passport now, who has not already had one or whose last passport was issued before their 16th birthday, you have to sit down and have an interview at a local post office. Chris' last passport was issued legitimately just a month before his 16th birthday so he has to go through this process.

Another fact: the only times the post offices in NC have available for these interviews are M-F generally from 9:15-10:15am. So if you have a job. . . well, I guess you have to take a vacation day. . . in order to get your passport for a vacation?

So I blame the postal service for my lack of passport ( ; P ) for what's the point in my having a passport if Chris does not?

I was so pleased when I made that realization. . . how lame am I?

Pulled up the light, highlights. I warmed the color a bit, I pulled up the saturation a bit and then added a bit more highlight.

Best friend of the week

Weekends are the best. No questions asked no doubt about it. You disagree? You're wrong. Sorry you had to find out this way but you are dead wrong ;P You see weekends mean unlimited time with Chris. Weekends mean weddings, shoots and time capturing real moments whether behind the camera or with a metal image.

When my weekends come to a close it is like wishing a close friend goodbye. I totally understand that without the week (to a degree) the weekends wouldn't be as awesome as they are but still. I wish I had a remote for life and just press pause on time. Snuggling on the couch, fire roasting and something playing in the back ground as I laugh my way through the day hand in hand with Chris. Yup: I'm a fan of weekends.

3. Handwritten

Small story about this one: When Chris and I started "dating-but-not-really-dating" (Yea, I don't get it either... apparently it is common in the south) I had a lot going on and no way to outlet it. All my college friends had graduated the year before with my sister and I was alone more often then not trying to deal with everything I was doing and feeling (Chris was my first boyfriend... I know how do you make it to 21 with out a boyfriend) so I wrote in journals and unsent letters to Chris. I literally would go through a composition book in a week with all my writing.
