>a friend of mine recently got married … A group of us rented a house off of VRBO for the weekend and chose to ‘make a weekend out of it’ [I love idioms/expressions such as ‘make a weekend out of it.’ It makes me feel grown-up-like. That is, until I use the word ‘grown-up-like’]
When the ceremony, dinner, and speeches had ended…DJ Pete Deeble got on the mic and the dancing began. A group of my girlfriends decided to re-live our high school days and ‘hit up the dance floor’ …. What can I saw: we dropped it low; we were in the club gettin tips’say [no wait, we weren’t]; we shook it all night long; we waived our hands up in the air sometimes.
And then… we drove home. About a week or so after the wedding, pictures started getting tagged on Facebook (typical). AND THEN… we discovered this GEM:
At first I loved that it expressed our joy from that evening… then I loved that it captured Mandy Long mid-snap..
Then, (Wait let me say it again)
THEN…I discovered something that has actually become an inside joke for the past few months among close friends…I discovered Ashleigh’s facial expression and pointing fingers in this picture. Ashleigh: the one with the ashsome facial expression just below me) You know, the one pointing at the camera.
What has occurred since the discovery of this picture….
After each normal group picture we take… we take a ‘Pointing Ashleigh’ picture right after.
See sample below from New Years Eve Prom 2011 below:
This blog post is completely random but I must continue on with one additional thought…nay, one additional DREAM and in doing so… take this Joke even more ‘too far’ than it has already been taken the past 4 months…
Have you ever walked into one of those restaurants with framed pictures of their customers wearing their restaurant T-shirt all over the world? You know, typically the pictures look as if they were ONLY taken in the 80s?
Anyways, when I think of this picture of Ashleigh, I dream of one day telling everyone I know
to take a picture imitating the Ashleigh face.. Then I would buy a restaurant, [obviously.. because this is a dream and I could do whatever I wanted… ride a dragon/ play tennis vs. a dinosaur/buy a restaurant/whatever]. I would call my restaurant “Ash Face,” and buy odd sized wooden frames in order to frame pictures of everyone doing the ‘Ash face’ all over the world… I have a dream…
Speaking of having a dream… cheers to MLK! Monday is for you!
