On Thursday, our families flew and drove into town and we hosted thanksgiving dinner for eight. Other than a minor turkey de-boning issue and the fact that my apple pie was seriously undercooked, it went so well. We have awesome families. And we're so thankful that they get along and are willing to spend holidays…

Last night, we went to a ball to celebrate the Navy's 235th birthday. I wore the dress I wore to my homecoming dance junior year of high school. (I loved that dress.) Paul wore his fancy whites. Sometimes being a military wife is terrifying and frustrating. Most of the time it is humbling and makes…

It's summer in San Diego. By summer, she of course means 95 degrees in fall. But they are okay with that. And besides, without humidity, 95* feels like 80*. Speaking of humidity, they went to Austin this month. He was in a wedding. She was in a photobooth. It was their last vacation for awhile…

Okay, so I love photobooths. And Paul is pretty chill about most things involving cameras and my random obsessions. Our Austin wedding over the weekend featured (in addition to love, cake and country music) a photobooth. The wedding guestbook was a scrapbook album and the idea was to take a strip and leave a photo…

…to Austin, Texas we go. One of Paul's friends is marrying an awesome girl this Saturday and we are so excited to go to their wedding and then spend a few days wandering a cool new city. I'm packing one book, two cameras and three dresses. Paul's packing his best suit. And speaking of Paul,…

I finally got started on a physical journal to hold my monthly "she & he" musings and photos. It's laughably simple and that is completely the point. I wanted an album that I can update a few times a year forever and ever. And by forever and ever, I really hope I am right. 95%…

I told Paul we are probably going to be taking at least one photo strip a week until we move away from Little Italy. He's on board.

There is a bar down the street from us that we go to about once a week for happy hour. In the back of the bar there is a photobooth. Every week for the last few months it has had an "out of order" sign on it. I figured it was a pretty permenant problem,…

Since probably the first day we drove around looking for apartments, I have been wanting to take a picture with this green wall with white dandelions. Something about it screams "Walk over and awkwardly balance your camera on an uneven curb." Last night, after happy hour to celebrate Paul's end of rotation and my workshop…

They both cut their fingers on their new kitchen knives this month. That was lame. But they also finally made it to the beach. So that's not lame. He's really back to work. And his first day of his first rotation was a 16 hour shift. Yikes. She's back to work as well. And busy,…
