US meets UK

Hey hive!

Just buzzing by to try out the randomizer series! When I look at our photos I’m struck by how much has changed, and how much has stayed the same. For starters, I’ve been rocking blonde hair for over a year now…it’s strange to see myself as a redhead! We’re still lucky to be surrounded by our wonderful friends and family, even if we’re further down I-95 and living in Capitol Hill instead of Baltimore now.

I don’t know if I ever mentioned just HOW many photos there are of Mr.D and I making out kissing. So many, that when my dad wanted to look at the photos in a slideshow I almost died of embarrassment. Word to  the wise, save the kissing for your post-reception festivities. So it’s inappropriate that the first photo is…kissing.

In all fairness—our photographer told us to kiss for this shot…

To share a message to all short women (or those who wish to wear boots). My entire life I’ve been thinking I have freakishly large calves. A calf mutant if you will, even when I was very thin, I STILL couldn’t find boots to fit me. Did I ever measure my calf? No, that would make too much sense. Turns out, I have a totally average calf width (why should you care? I’m getting there).

In another of a long fruitless list of interenet searches for wide calf boots I stumbled upon widewidths.com. There it was, explained in all its glory! It’s not that I have abnormally large calves – it’s that I’m abnormally short! Which means my calf begins way before other taller women’s calves begin.

So if you’re below 5’3, rest easy! It’s just your height that is freakish, probably not your calves.
