Bathroom Signs

I was inspired by Pinterest with a similar bathroom sign idea, but wasn't sure how I would execute it. I gave two pictures to Damon's dad and gave him little direction. Viola-Damon's dad came through! I added some scrabble letters and the bathroom signs couldn't have been more perfect.

Sleepy Char

Charlie just started sleeping out of her cage the entire night, 

or I should say, she just started sleeping on ME the entire night.

Even in a king size bed she manages to keep me as far away from Damon as possible.

We have a new appreciation for our sleeping beauty.

aren't they cute

Throwback Pictures

It's really neat, the history Damon and I share. Yeah, we were friends growing up, but even more, we were BEST friends. Over the weekend, my mom and I sat down and went through all of the old pictures I had of Damon and me. After she was finished looking at all of them, she asked the SAME question everyone has been asking for years; "So, you mean to tell me the two of you were JUST friends?" Crazy enough to say, we were. Damon and I have so many memories it would probably make some people sick. We even had made a deal, I think WAY back in our early high school days, that if we ended up still single at the age of thirty (that seemed so old then) we would marry each other. We agreed we would NEVER have to kiss (I am sure I was the one to suggest that), but we would get married (probably for the financial benefits) and grow old together. At that time the idea seemed sooo unlikely-I was chasing other boys, he was chasing other girls..but fast forward to 2012, it's happening-BY CHOICE EVEN. 

I also found Damon's seventh grade yearbook picture...not much has changed...His handwriting still stinks, and he STILL thinks he has game with the ladies.

MEIKO-"Stuck on you" 

More music to enjoy while you read.

Engagement Photo Session

© 2011 Simple Life Portraits

We had our engagement photo session on Sunday in downtown Harrisburg. The day was perfect-it was in the 60s and the sun was shining. We had fun spending the day with our photographer but let me tell you, engagement pictures are kind of awkward. I never thought of myself as an awkward person, but when you are asked to repeatedly kiss, hug, and gaze at each other, all in front of a complete stranger-keep in mind, you start to feel a little bit awkward. Damon was a natural, OF COURSE. He could smile, gaze, and laugh all on cue, and I remember Dan, the photographer, repeatedly saying, "keep that face Damon, but Rachel try to do this." Sunday was a re-confirmation that modeling will never be my calling. I think Dan was ready to kill me. Every photo I was asking a zillion questions about where my hand should be placed?, should I smile?, should I be leaning?, bending down?...you get the idea. He was very adamant about trying to get candid pictures, but when you're so obsessive-compulsive, like I am, candid moments are few and far between. Dan told us the pictures would be on his blog in the next three weeks, but lucky for us, Damon got an email first thing this morning saying he had posted a few on his blog. I saw a few of the pictures and they weren't as awkward as I thought they would be. He did a great job, the scenery and the quality are awesome, but I am still not convinced that I will like any of the faces I was making. Here is hoping that they turn out ok!!
