CINCO DE MAYO

y'all

 thanks to 

the magic of photo shop,

i was able to take about

10 years off the face that

I've earned by living

twenty one thousand,

nine hundred days.

the reason i feel compelled to

share these pictures with you all

is because the day of my

birthday our family

was at our cabin and there

were a few photos taken during the day

but i'm the one usually taking the

pictures and right before i was

going to go to bed i said to adria

"i am pretty sure there isn't a

single picture of me that i'm going to

like from today, will you take a couple?"

she said sure and then proceeded to take

about 246 all of which we both looked at

and said "NOPE...that was bad", tried again,

said "NOPE", tried again and this was what i was left with.

you guys, i get it! it's hard to have your

picture taken... but after a lot of hilarious

laughter and taking off hoodies, adding hats,

taking off hats, fluffing my hair, trying
new faces i'd never tried before, 

then more laughter about how
ridiculous it was all becoming,

here is what i left in the collection.

thanks for taking one for the team Ad

and manning my camera for what 

turned out to be a few shots
that after all that effort,
  i'm going to share with 

the whole darn world.
