TWINNERS

We were getting ready for church today.  I was all dressed and putting the final sprays of hairspray on my hair.  You know, the just in case a blast of humidity comes rushing through the chapel I better be prepared with extra hairspray already applied, sprays. {Which no one who has ever lived in the same house as me seemed to really appreciate. Ben likes to pretend he is choking.  Shannon used to hold her breath and wave her hand. At this point my mom pretends to ignore it.  I don't get it - don't they know good hair takes a lot of hairspray?} Anyway, that's actually not the point.

The point is, I was putting the final sprays on the curled hair when Ben came in tying his tie and pretending to choke {from the hairspray}.  I looked at him, looked at myself and yelled "TWINNERS!"{Ben absolutely hates that word! I couldn't help myself.} 
I married a pirate... did you know?

Cheese!
We were wearing matching orange sweaters!  I really wanted to photo document this in history, but we were not doing a great job of being photogenic for our self portraits. My apologies, but these will have to do. We looked like we were going to a high school Sadie's dance and I am positive everyone at church enjoyed our matchy matchy outfits.

Amber I can't believe you forgot about me! I of all people understand and whole heartedly agree with copious amounts of hairspray and good hair needs it!!!

Ok you guys seriously need a too cheesy newly wed intervention! You are too cute for your own good. Oh and although I have reapetedly tried to have hair spray interventions they were to no avail. I guess some things will never change.

TWINNERS TWINNERS TWINNERS!!! Ben actually loves that word... don't let him fool you. And, Jared acts like he's having an asthma attack when I use hairspray. And no, he does not have asthma.

I love this!! we have had a twinner experience, and it was a big deal to us, we took tons of photos.. haha

You guys are darling. And, maybe I worry that people will think Ben is a little special with how he smiles in photos sometimes.. (love you Ben)

xoxo!!!
