time to get your crayons and your pencils

I have a few minutes to spare this morning, and I was looking through my pictures and I noticed something interesting.

Nathan and I are kinda snobbish when it comes to having our picture taken. I have always prefered for Nathan to take our picture himself. We’ve mastered the arms-length shot. I always thought I looked better that way.

I had no idea.

I just came across some pictures from October of last year. I don’t know how much I weighed, but I’m sure it was around my highest weight. Anyway, this is a picture his brother took of us with our camera.

100_3498Isn’t that crazy? I think that may be part of the reason I didn’t realize how heavy I’d gotten – the majority of my pictures look like the second one!

Okay, carry on.

And find a man who can take arms-length pictures. They’re good for the ego.
