Pictures

Tonight Jared, Duke, and I got some pictures taken by a friend and GREAT photographer Anne Jansen. I will post them when they are ready! I learned a few things while we were taking pictures... 1. Jared suddenly gets so sensitive to light he cannot open his eyes when people are trying to take his picture. 2. Duke loves getting his picture taken, and likes to show off 3. Jared and I are COMPLETELY awkward when we get our pictures taken. We stood there like deer in the headlights awkwardly looking at eachother and not knowing where to put hands, rest heads, or how to stand...seemingly pretty easy things that we do everyday...not so when a camera is on you. I decided I could never make it as an actress - when people tell me to do something I freeze (like at weddings if someone tries to make me dance...it's not gonna happen, but if I am just feelin it....WATCH OUT) and Jared DEFINITELY not at a model with his eye problem as soon as a camera arises. If we get one good picture it will be amazing. Oh and cause Jared couldn't open his eyes, I was laughing so my smile I am sure is awkward and just weird cause I am laughing.

We decided to get some nice pictures of us because without the pictures that my cousin took as an attender to our wedding, we really wouldn't have any pictures we like of us - hated our wedding pics. What part of "we want mostly candids not formal pictures" is hard to understand...cause we got 90% formals. Good thing we had disposables and family who knew what they were doing!

In other news this was a particularly great week for the Vermeulen Household! We built a little extention on our deck (and by we I mean mostly my dad, with the help of a few others of us), we sold our hot tub, paid off our lawn mower, I sold a house, and Jared was all ready to do his mini triathalon - but then it got rained out. However, the silver lining is that he found another one this weekend to do in Ludington so we will be going there to do that Sunday morning.

Side note - I have an addiction and it is CARDS! Right now I am particularly obsessed with Canasta and Hand & Foot. If anyone wants to play just call me up!

Have a great night!!
