Engagement photos! And thunderstorms.

So, our photographer emailed us to let us know that the CD with the full set of our engagement photos is in the mail, and in the meantime there were a few teaser pics for us to check out. So of course, I had to pass them along to all of you. In case it isn't clear from the watermark, all photos are courtesy of the amazing and wonderful Rich Dutchman. Don't steal them.





Aren't they great? I HEART THEM. I can't wait until the CD arrives so we can see the full set. Also, if you look closely at the first photo? Note the purple shoes.

In other news, we had the crappiest weather yesterday. In the middle of the afternoon the sky suddenly got very dark and then we had a HUGE thunderstorm. It was raining so hard that it looked like a cloud outside our window but it was actually raindrops. And personally, I think it feels very strange to be at the office during weather like that. Thunderstorms feel like intimate things that happen at home. It's odd to be with your coworkers during them.

Also, the weather led to the major commuter rails to both the Maryland and Virginia suburbs closing down due to power outages and fallen trees, plus flash flood warnings, traffic light outages, and huge Metro delays. It was one of those times when I felt really lucky to live IN the city and not have to worry about a heinous commute. I can only imagine how many commuters were stuck in the city trying to figure out a way to get home. It must have been cab drivers' lucky day.

And yes, I do realize that I just devoted two full paragraphs to talking about the weather. But I actually find weather INTERESTING, okay? There's a REASON it's a cliché, and it's because lots of people talk about it because they actually WANT to discuss it. And I am one of those people. So there.
