You just might cry a little bit

We all have blogs we stalk, right?  Well, here's one of mine - and I'm finally featured on it!

Seriously, Tiffany did the most beautiful job of family photos for me and Adrie.  If you don't want to wait for your Christmas card from me, check out the sneak peek here.

In other news, I paid a whole $9.99 for Ingrid's new Be OK album and I am majorly disappointed.  There are a handful of new beautiful songs, but more than half of the album are remixes, acoustics of old songs, live club weird songs, and covers.  Blegh.  Shame on me for not doing my research better.  And it hurts that when I finally actually PAY for music I'm disappointed.  Back to mooching off people for me :)

2 weeks from today I will be in Barcelona embarking on a 7-day Mediterranean Cruise.  You have no idea what a stressful event planning outfits and packing for this adventure has become.  I just spent 3 hours wandering around the mall and couldn't even decide what I needed.  I'm going to spend tomorrow afternoon laying clothes out across my bed while trying to plan 7 "dressy as I can stand while remaining comfortable" outfits.  I don't think I own that many nice clothes.  I have to stand next to my fashionista sister Natalie in pictures... Help!

PS - on my "I'd love to borrow" list is:
  • an evening dress (yes, really.  Who has a still-in-style prom dress lying around?)
  • a neck pillow for the airplane - you know, like those little tube-around-your-neck things.
Any takers?

you can get neck pillows at IKEA for like $2.99.

I'm so jealous of your cruise....it's our favorite way to travel.

We NEARLY bought a 14-NIGHT cruse from Boston to the southern Caribbean....for $500/ea....but since we couldn't think that far into the future (next Dec) we opted out.

We're crazy, eh?

Those pictures are GORGEOUS! Seriously. Wow!

You can have our neck pillows if you want them. We have two, which might come in handy for cushioning arms, etc. Want me to send them to you?

One word - JEALOUS!!

And sorry, but no beautiful evening gowns hiding in my closet! But then again, you know I am needy in the fashion department! :)

Might I remind you that you have the cutest wardrobe of anyone I know ALREADY???

And also, umm... from now on you are obligated to call me before going shopping. You think I am kidding, but I am not. ;)

-a.

Alexa to the rescue! Jen - go hunt up those tickets and BUY THEM. Even a new baby can be worked around. Just do it. Amy - you'd find me a terribly boring shopper. I just can't seem to hack the social pressure of people standing around while I analyze every point of to buy/not to buy. Lisa - I'm going to consult you on stay-at-home-mom warfare someday :)

Okay, clarification:

You are obligated to notify me of shopping excursions so that I can understand HOW to make my outfits look as cute as yours. I don't even get how you do it. I want to copy your shopping technique, okay!? there! I said it!!

I just love those pictures! She did a great job.

Are you ever coming to AZ soon? Just wondering I would love for you to take my family pictures someday! Hope you find everything you need for your trip.

FINALLY I updated your address on my blog. Sheesh! Your pics with Adrie are breathtaking!! so beautiful. As good as the ones my photographer took of my family. :) Jessie is finally going to show me how to post them on the blog (the high quality size has been an issue . . . I thought is was just me). I really think I have a couple dresses . . . only one that may possibly still be in style. You are welcome to come look - its black with some shiny on it.

Those photos of you and Adrie are fantastic! I love her little tights! If I ever have a girl, I'll dress her just like you dress Adrie!

Emy said...

Those are amazing pictures! I would love to find a photographer like that here. Have fun on the cruise and good luck with dating......ha ha that text thing is hilarious!
