Ponytail road trip

The other day I wore my hair in a ponytail.  Let's be honest, that happens way too often given my new longer length and the sheer laziness I have with washing and drying my hair every day.  That same day Ben and I took a little road trip to Lake Oswego.  While Ben was being responsible and driving,  I was playing with my new long pony realizing how much hair was there!  I immediately decided I MUST take a picture, while in route, to prove to myself the longness!  It took pictures with my cell phone the entire 30 minute trip. It was really hard to get one that showed the entire ponytail.  I really need to work on my road trip self portrait skills. Watching my struggles and occasional mentions of needing to puke Ben asked a few times, "Can I just take the picture for you?"  I responded with my usual, "No, I don't need help."  Needless to say I got really car sick and was on the verge of puking for the rest of the night.  All that just for the perfect picture, or a lot of imperfect pictures.
You're welcome.




When I got sick of trying to get a picture of the back of my head I moved on to better things.  Below Ben asked, "Now what are you doing?"  I responded.... "I have to document this ponytail road trip and I am showing that I am scared of your driving!!"  {I really am not though, I actually hate driving so I love when Ben drives.}

And then the awesome ones...



The sky was pretty on the way home.  Of course I had to take a picture of that too.

So there to have it, the ponytail road trip pictures from Washington to Oregon.  My hair is long though, right?!

So the first few pictures I could only think of one thing...DONT DROP THE CAMERA OUT THE WINDOW!

Which would have been even more tragic considering the awesomeness of the pictures to follow.

That last picture of you two is my FAVE. It's a glimpse into your life right now...one that your kids will look at decades from now and KNOW just how awesome you both are together. AND how long your hair is. ;o)
