2/21/12: Fave Photo of Myself

I have a lot of photos of myself that I like. I will not lie. I am a ham. I love to have pictures taken of me. BUT it's not because I'm vain, really. It's mostly because I like documenting things. Especially things that are apt to be beautiful memories. I like having photos of everything going on around me. It's easier to tell the story that way when you look back.

So. Here's today's photo:

There are SO many things that I love about this photo. It's on my wedding day. The necklace that my mommy is putting around my neck? It's a family heirloom that (we believe) is a good luck charm. I look pretty dang decent. I'm in my little downstairs "salon" that my now-husband helped me put together. The photographer is one of my best friends, Beth, and also one of the people who signed our marriage certificate. (Along with her husband, Boonie, who happens to be my childhood neighbor.) I could probably come up with 1,000 reasons why I love this photo, along with almost every photo I have saved to my hard drive. I'll cut the rambling. Have a good FAT TUESDAY!
