Last night, Eve of Christmas Eve, I got a little camera happy. Ryan and I don’t have many recent pictures of us, which is why I always have to post ones that are from 3-4 years ago. Well, that and the fact that we see each other only a few months a year. I think we need to change this non-picture taking habit and revert to the good ‘ol days, which also includes no long-distance. The problem is that he doesn’t really like when I stick a camera in front of his face. It’s as if he’s only allowed to smile nicely when he’s NOT in a picture with me. What’s the deal? But last night, he finally cooperated. Should I push my luck again?
This is what a cute picture of us looks like………
Do you like my new hat? It may look familiar in a picture I’ve posted of Ryan, but that’s because he decided to give it to me!
Well after a few pictures, Ryan tells me I should be using his* camera. So it turned into a DSLR lesson for Mindy. An expert lesson for a beginner in a low light condition with a lens from the ’80’s.. thanks Ryan! ;o) I would show you one, but instead I’ll save the time and you can just imagine a blurry picture of Ryan.
*arguable
But you can see the other side of it…
If nothing else, it was a workout for my arms because the thing weighs like 10 lbs*!
*exaggeration
After I’d had enough embarrassment for one night, Ryan’s Momma, him, and I drove around and looked at Christmas lights in town.
Ryan held my hand his Canon 7D and took video (duh)
Tonight for the real Christmas Eve, Ryan and his Mom are coming to eat dinner with my Mom and me. I do have a brother, but he may or may not be here. Ryan also has a brother, but it’s a long story. Then, Ryan and I might go hang out with my Dad’s side of the family. You never really know what we’re going to do….
Merry Christmas Eve!
P.S.- After changing the weather forecast nothing less than 10x this week, it now says the rain is supposed to change into snow tonight!!! Only to amount to 1 – 2 inches (the ground is probably too warm now), but I’m still dreaming of a White Christmas…. I dare you to make me jealous and tell me it’s snowing where you are!
