last weekend we brought our tripod outside and took some self-timer engagement photos! it was fun/silly/buggy/a huge workout to run back and forth and back and forth in heels to hit the shutter button. eggboy got a little crabby because he thinks his hair is too long, so we might be taking more photos after i give him a haircut. but i don't know. a girl can only put on makeup and hair product so many times in one season, you know?

speaking of wedding things, did you see that mary-kate and ashley designed a wedding dress?? i have to be careful when i click on that olsens anonymous blog because i could easily spend lots and lots of time on that thing.

in banh mi news, did you know that there's an entire banh mi book out? and a banh mi pizza?! and banh mi fries??!?!!! i wish there was a banh mi lunchable so that every time i wanted one i wouldn't need to buy enough ingredients for 12.

it's a grilled watermelon and... (wait for it) donut salad.
