My Favorite Picture

b and i have been together for a total of five and a half years.  now we knew each other while we were in college; we worked together; we had accounting together.  

he actually came to my house one time to study.  so he says.  for some reason, i really don't remember this.  i have a picture of him looking super hot from a party we both went to.

i went to a party at his house and played drinking games with him and other ruby tuesday workers until the wee hours of the night.  

i do have pictures of me and him together from this time in my life.  

but this one...this one is my absolute favorite.

we both look so young in this picture.  my hair is longer and blonde.  my dress is super cute, and we both look so happy.

this is on the rooftop bar in birmingham about 2 years ago.  

amazing what two years can do to your appearance.

ugh, i feel old.

B's iPhone Finds

every now and then i'll go through b's phone.

no, i'm not crazy.

no, i'm not looking for evidence of an affair.

i'm looking through his pictures!!  sometimes he'll take pictures when he goes on his travels, and sometimes he'll get a picture that i didn't get when we go on our travels together.  and sometimes there'll be some random picture that i can't figure out.

either way, i love looking through pictures and his phone is no exception.  see what i found below!!

a window full of pies!!  (he was in MD for a wedding)

cute picture of his piece of pie.  kind of looks like shoo fly pie to me!

big doughnut from Round Rock in Texas.

another picture of the humongous doughnut, plus a small peek of what else they have.

fireworks show after the Royals game.  i was probably in awe.  i heart fireworks.

and it's ok.  he knows that i do this.  he's usually sitting right by me. 

hopefully i can turn these into re-occuring posts!!

The Most Important Lesson Learned

i had a ballroom dance competition this weekend.  i have it written as my last competition ever.  now, who know what will happen once we make it to austin, but for now, i am pretty much done with it.

and i love to dance.  i will always love to dance.  magic city dance studio gave me a new hobby for life.  and some new friends for life.

so i vowed to myself to make this weekend competition about having fun.  and that is all.  even though i knew the girl that had beat me at a previous competition was going to be there.  i was going to just dance.  just dance.

and wouldn't you know it?  i placed first in every single dance.  every single contested dance.  something i have never done.  and i had to attribute it to my no worries attitude.  

yes, i am a huge worrier.  always have been.  if i don't have anything to worry about, i will make it up.  and that's just me.  

fake eyelashes.  boo yah.  i feel like i look like my sister in this picture.  except icky and older.

making silly faces at the competition. 

so i learned the most important lesson of my life this weekend; just let the world come as it may.  no worrying, and everything will turn out ok.

happy monday!
