Say Cheese...and Biscuit

Today is the day. Well, hopefully. Today is the SECOND time we have scheduled our engagement photos. Hopefully they will actually happen this time - last attempt had to be canceled due to inclement weather, a circumstance more present than not in Chicagoland (particularly this summer).

The sun is out so far, so that bodes well. Penny doesn't seem convinced, however. She has been pacing around the apartment all morning, whining at the top of her lungs. Perhaps she has to go out. Perhaps she's hungry. Or PERHAPS she has heard rumors that I will be forcing her to wear a darling pink sweater to match with Dan and myself for the photography session. (That, by the way, is not true - I only claim it is to torture Dan. He does not like animals dressed as humans).

IRREGARDLESS, we will all put on our happy faces and document our engagement pictorially. It could be the best of times or the worst of times, but I'm sure we will triumph in either situation. At the end of the day, what we will most likely remember when we look at these pictures is how we spent so much time preparing for an event that only took about an hour. It's great preparation for the wedding. The time leading up to the event will most likely be the best time as anticipation is often better than gratification (except in the case of a glass of wine or falling asleep).

And so we will end this dreary, rainy, stressful and tense week with what I hope to make a very fun experience. And, isn't that what life is all about? Working hard so that you can play later?
