Chapel Hill, NC, 1998

In going through my photos to select ones for this site, I’ve realized I have so many good ones of Alexis. Many of them are from memorable events—trips, Phases, parties, erstwhile bachelorette weekends, and so on. I’m not one for choosing a favorite, but I always end up coming back to this one, which was taken on a decidedly ordinary day. In fact, it was my last ordinary day in Chapel Hill. I moved out before I even took my final exams, hellbent on running away to London and turning my back on the sadness that found me during those years. We’re in the back of Josh’s pickup, driving out to Arthur’s country house. It was the last day; it was summertime. It was an end and a beginning. I left the next day, but for that moment we had the sun and warm wind on our summer shirts. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so completely free.

Perhaps the best thing about this photo is that right after I took it, we hopped on this very boat and took a wild, choppy ride to a breathtaking beach where further adventures awaited us. Such are the days that let you die happy.

Senorita, mas fina, who's that girl??

Chapel Hill, NC, 2007

So I got some New Years photos back (sadly, one roll is still missing - Update: It got run over! Clearly God and nature intended the evidence to be destroyed.), and like many a libational time before, I looked over them to see what details of the evening may have, uh, slipped my mind. Apparently, Josh was determined to one-up Arthur's trademark "point" pose by not only making it vulgar, but also getting rather acrobatic with it. You wouldn't believe how many photos I have of him in the following pose (thanks to Misty for playing photog in the first):
I move behind the camera, but Josh is still keeping it up. He looks very pleased with himself, doesn't he?!And then Franklin gets in on the action!But I'm not picking on Josh. If I wasn't always safe behind the camera, there'd be countless pictures of me looking far more...compromised.
Big thanks to the NYE 2007 weekend hosts: Tina & Josh and Misty & Drew. And Sean for the fancy wine. Huzzah!
