This is the first day of a new year. Obviously. What better way to look to the future than learn from the past? So lets take a look back at my year’s most awkwardly photographed moments. I’ll try to put them in chronological order.
2012 kicked off with a stellar Mardi Gras season in Louisiana. One of the floats threw out a weird spray-painted mask. So the obvious thing to do was immediately put it on my face.
Shortly after Mardi Gras we went to Gators & Friends where I tried to pet this baby camel. But he nibbled my arm instead. It was all drooly.
Then it was on to a wedding…where I taught everyone to be a creep. What? The groom is a little busy? That’s okay, I’ll just take a photo with his back.
I caused an awkward scene before jumping off the cliff.
Someone else made this photo weird for us. “Oh, could you see me in your picture?” She asked.
The rest of the summer was pretty low key. Then I took a trip to California. I had an amazing day at Sea World. We saw this pet show, afterward you can pet the stars of the show. I accidentally pushed a kiddo out of the way. But I {kind of} got a photo with a super cute dog…
We ran an Urban Adventure Race. Derek had to make a frosting mustache on me. The face I’m making in the lower left corner is quite possibly the most awkward and pathetic image of myself ever taken.
During our trip to Philly, DC, Dover and Lancaster I amused myself at the Liberty Bell while my friends were wandering the museum. See…everyone was crowding the front of the bell {where the iconic crack is} but no one was on the backside. So I got a good close look. Then I just stood back there and smiled in the background of everyone’s vacation photos. Photobombing at its best. The photo below is just a general weird moment…but you can see the tourists in the background.
Derek caught me playing gladiator while shoveling.
I condoned cutting down a “Christmas tree” from a gas station parking lot.
And why not squeeze one more in for good measure? Sometimes I just can’t control my face. Derek’s uncle caught this moment during the family’s White Elephant exchange.
Happy 2013 my lovlies. I’m looking forward to sharing another year with you…where we can continue to laugh at my expense.
