Yahoo!  It was my second time at Chevy’s this week!  I am fortunate that my wonderful hubby let me go out for Girls Night last night with Laura, Colleen & Jessica AND let me go to Happy Hour tonight with Bethany!  Bethany has been in China the past year teaching English at a university and it was so so so so so great to be able to catch up (not eat Chinese) & laugh & pose silly for the camera.  Thanks B!  So glad you’re back for a while!

Okay, let me first preface this blog post by saying these are not Bethany’s online dating profile pictures…puh-leez!  She doesn’t need any of that.  However, if she meets her dream man due in some part to my post, she’ll be obligated to hire me as her photographer for every future life event.

I forced Bethany to let me take her out (after we got killa haircuts!) and get some photos for her upcoming missions trip to China.  I don’t know much about what her trip is about, except is about spreading Jesus and teaching English…what more is there?  She’ll be starting a blog soon and I’ll be sure to update you on that.

What I DO know is that Bethany is probably one of my most difficult photography subject.  Just kidding!  It was a little challenging though because Bethany has this weird trait:  She can’t NOT smile!  She just can’t do it.  If you try to get anything but a smile, she doesn’t look like Bethany.  So, in order to get a “natural” smile, I had to just be super funny and make her laugh a lot.  And to punish me, Bethany made me get my picture taken at the end…but we’ll save those photos for later.

So Bethany, my dear, I had a blast with you yesterday.  I enjoyed every minute of every little silly story I shared to make you giggle.  Our entire family will really miss you and everything we share…Settlers, Rock Band, LOST, Heavy Weights, WH?AT, and so much more!

Enough already before I cry….here’s Bethany!

Ok, I really like my blog, cause I can talk to you all (if anyone’s really there) and you always listen, never interrupt, and are continually interested in the little happenings in my life.  So, here’s one little “happening”…. I’m getting a haircut!  It’s much needed.  I know this because my hairstyle has consisted of a ponytail and two clips for about 6 months now.  It’s very “fixed” and “in place,” but not much personality.  Therefore, my friend Bethany and I are going to Bubbles to get our hairs did!

Then…. we’ll be heading to Downtown Annapolis for Bethany’s photo session.  She’ll be leaving us here in Maryland for a whole YEAR to minister to the wonderful people of China.  Check back soon for some previews of her new do!  Oh, and I just have to say it, even though she’ll kill me…she’s single, and great, and ready to mingle!  But I have to approve of you first!
