Thanks for sharing! I'm a PE and noticed that in the shot you took of your husband above, he's using his NCEES pencil. Haha, I had to comment. I still have mine from a couple years ago too. I don't know why I haven't thrown it away. It always reminds me of those 2 days of hell (we get extra tests in Ca), but I keep it for some reason.

My family does the same... "aren't you going to take a picture of me doing this to put on the website?" lol Sara- The photogenic comment was funny... it takes at least 30 pictures to get one that doesn't make me cringe. The secret is good lighting. Get a cheap tripod and a remote for your camera... it's the best way to get action shots of yourself so people believe you actually are doing work and not just taking pictures all day. (When I give my big smile in photos, my head transforms into a perfect sphere, for reasons unknown to me.) Carrie- Love the Wall of Awesome.

I also have a man that rolls his eyes when my camera comes out. I also have next to NO photos of myself doing anything to our house, which is a big problem in my opinion. But I am not nearly as photogenic as you are, so maybe it's for the best. I do need to learn how to use my camera as well as you do, your photos are just awesome! ps - I love your smirk in these shots, I always look like I'm constipated when I don't smile with teeth!

When people come over to help, they have to get their picture taken for our 'Wall of Awesome'. Right now it just lives on the blog but eventually it will be an actual gallery of photos. I've found people actually <i>want</i> to come help just so they get on the wall. Amazing what a little food, booze and public credit can do for your free workforce. You totally rock it.
