Roadtrips are for drinking chocolate milk, hanging your head out the window until you can't breathe, stopping for Mexican food, talking about relationships, and eating cheetohs continuously.
We lived it up in Moscow, aka wandered around doubled over in hysterics about inane things, ate food, and then watched a movie in the park on a laptop. : )
We went to Christ Church on Sunday, and I had my first-ever blogger meet up, with Sara from Music of the Spheres. She was awesome. : )
And then we went on a picnic and I found the wheatfield I have been waiting for my whole life.
I wanted to stay there until sunset so I could get some killer lighting... but we had to leave. :( I am literally going to go back there sometime soon just to do a photo shoot in the Wheat Field of All Wheat Fields.
The trip back was, of course, more insane, since we had Bethany. I laughed more than I have in a really, really long time. My laugh was literally gone by the time it was over. All I had left was hoarse wheezing and snorts. Think Lydia from Pride and Prejudice.
Something about me + Benjamin = roadtrip. I so wanted to do go on one with him before he runs off to get married, but it didn't seem to be working out, until Bethany only had a one-way plane ticket to Moscow and needed to be collected.
I do realize that the sunglasses make me look even more like a bug than usual... that's because they're Benjamin's. : ) I left mine at my sister's house. |
So, we collected her.

Me: "Ben, please stand up there and be cool so I can get a god picture of you."
(definition of a god picture: a photo of a male doing something cool with the sun behind him)
Speaking of gods. I named my Mac "Ares", the god of war. : )
It was The Adventure of a Lifetime.
And most importantly, now we have Bethany back. : )
My first-ever attempt with any kind of slideshow/video thing. I used iMovie, which is beautifully intuitive and my new best friend. Let me know what you think. : )
p.s. Alabama's "I'm In a Hurry" is me and Benjamin's Song. : )
Obsessed with the pictures on here! :)You're really good at photography.
ReplyDeletei loved this! now i wanna go on a roadtrip with friends!

Awesome wheat field!! Take me with you when you go back and do a photoshoot there!!
ReplyDeleteAW!! I love Bethany's new dress!! Stunning pics of here in the wheat field :)
Love the one of Ben ;) haha Nice! I bet Rebekah likes that one too :D
Very fun! Glad you guys are back, though!
Great pictures! It looks like it was a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of Bethany in the wheat field—the one with the "What am I doing?" face. Cute dress, too! I just love the area up there. My great-aunt has an old Victorian house on the edge of a teeny town in that area. It's surrounded by wheat fields and barns and silos. I have dreams that I live in that house.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and "something cool" = showing off muscles: nice!
ReplyDeletefabulous photos. =) you and your bro have such a sweet relationship!!
ReplyDeleteAnd is that you in the wheat field pics? For some reason I can't tell. Gah. =P But I needneedneed to know where the white dress is from. I want a white summer dress desperately! PLEASE tell me where it's from (if that's you int those pics. LOL.)
Wow! That wheat field looks like a little slice of Heaven {OK, a huge chunk of it!}!!! Where on earth is it? I want it so badly :)
ReplyDeleteEmily
I love roadtrips - it looks like y'all had such fun, and the pictures are totally lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I might really need to go find that wheat field sometime. ;-)
That wheat field is gorgeous! I loved your video. Especially Alabama. :) It's sort of a joke in my house- when I say, "I'm in a hurry to get things done," my parents start singing the rest.
