The lovely family who helped me out with this shoot!! One little girl helped press the button on the camera, and another did some modelling for me, and the little boy helped shoo the ducks when we attracted a little group :P

More photos

Even though we slacked off from taking crazy 365s every day, me and Aaron made sure to take lots of regular photos of us on my point and shoot. I’ve got lots of snaps and I’m working through them very slowly, but here are some more :D

this is in Aaron’s backyard - I was telling him to smile and he started acting all corny and pulling all these big ass smiles and this one came out really weirdly genuine and nice :D

me and aaron

This was taken at PFChangs in NC, our second date :D The portion sizes everywhere were sooooo huge so we split everything we ate!! It was very tasty, after this we went to see a movie about a guy who tries to meet this girl who he met online which was awesome, very reccomended by us

And finally us in NYC! This is Mickey (left) and Bobby who let us stay with them in their kickass apartment!!!!!! It was sooooo nice there!

Me and Aaron have also been working on a huge big 365 project of out roadtrip. Its like a video, but in pictures. Hopefully that will be up soon, and makes up for our 365s during that time :)

I am off to take a 365

Happy Halloween guys

Aaron and Rosie Dolls!

October31

Rosie and I couldn’t stand the thought of not being around each other for months, so we came up with something that would let us snuggle at night when the air is cold. DOLLS. We went to the fabric store and got all kinds of great stuff, and spent the second to last day making dolls. Rosie made Rosie and Aaron made Aaron. We then traded our dolls, now we each have each others creation!

Rosie’s came out great of course! she has long beautiful brown hair, nice eyelashes, and a removable apron with a pocket in the front for secret messages!

Aaron’s came out, well, a little scary :)  he put different colored eyes on the doll, because Aaron’s eyes change color unlike anyone else in the world. He has a nice shirt and suit, unfortunately no arms or legs. But the stubble is hand sewn!

Hope you love our dolls, they will be keeping us warm together over the next few months.

NYC!

October25

Hey everyone!! It is Rosie here,  I am updating from an apartment in NYC, 42 floors up, overlooking the whole of new york and central park!! it is really fun here, if a little daunting with all the beeping on the roads! me and aaron have done so much, we’ve been round some art galleries which were cool. we stopped off in washington dc and stayed in donovan house which was reeeallllyyy cool - but unfortunately i got ill :( on the first night  was going from hot to freezing cold every 10minutes, and the next morning i was puking up in a bin. aaron looked after me and even though i looked and felt super gross he was there with me all the time, cleaning up my mouth and making sure the room temperature was changed every two minutes to suit me. we made it to new york after stuffing me with pills (as of every day, i take 14 pills) and we are staying with some family friends. the view is amazing and we are going to a broadway tonight!!!!! there is so much to do and so much to see. we have been taking lots and lots of pictures and we are excited to show everyone them - we have something pretty cool planned. right now i am feeling pretty sore and am having a little trouble walking so i am porbably going to have aaron carry me to broadway but thats ok :P

aaron wants to go to B&H tomorrow (thats a camera shop for those who don’t know what it is, like me) and then we are going to drive back to NC. We did have a bed and breakfast booked but i am not really up for it :(  so hopefully i will get better and even though it happened we are still having an amazing time and i couldnt be happier because i am here with my aaron.  cant wait to get a big cuddle from his mum (she gives the best cuddles). his whole family are so lovely - his brother Trevor brought geodes home one night and we all took turns to smash them. it took everyone else around 3 hits with the sledgehammer, but i was punding mine for a good 5minutes before it cracked, turns out i just got a dumbass rock. :P

i need to go get dressed for broadway now!! love to you all!

State Fair!

October21

Yesterday we went to the NC State fair, it was an awesome time! This was one of Rosie’s surprise birthday presents, and we did so many thing she had never done before! We started by looking at all the goods made by local folk, and went through the animal houses as well. Then was on to what the fair is really about. Junk food and Rides!!! Rosie had for the first time - corn, corn dogs, BBQ, frozen banana, salt water taffy, and we got henna tattoos that say ARF!!  We rode a bunch of rides including 2 that spin around really fast and crush Aaron :) We also went on 2 different Ferris wheels, where we took our unofficial 365s for the day.  We decided not to post them on Flickr because they are not our usual 365s, but figured the new blog was a great place to put them!

We got home after hours and hours of walking around and seeing everything. Rosie slept in the car on the way :) We had big plans for the night as well, but were so tired that we just wound up falling asleep together in my hammock outside under the stars, skipping dinner completely :)
