Goodbye Miss, Hello Mrs.
Days two hundred fifty seven – two hundred sixty four
Because every girl should have a strawberry sun dress …with pockets.
This is Tom and I on day 258 taking our fun engagement style photos. We’re being ridiculous, as usual. His arm is so blown out that I want to scream. Sometimes the sun and I just don’t get along. This is one of those times.
My closet has so much grey!
My journals! Click here to see notes that name them all and show what year they were written in.
This rose necklace was given to my grandmother when she was sixteen, and then to my mother, and then finally to me. The rose would flip over though when I wore it, so I added these to weight it down. Even though I never had the chance to meet my grandmother, something tells me she’d think it was okay.
The air conditioner broke. It sounded like a jet engine! Luckily it was cold and rainy the entire few days we were waiting for it to be replaced. It couldn’t have come at a better time.
Munching on some delicious summer moist strawberry bread! Pumpkin doesn’t actually want the bread, but cuddles. See, I took this at about six thirty in the morning, which is shortly after breakfast for him. And after he eats he wants to cuddle up and sleep on laps or in armpit hammocks. He’s staring at me waiting for me to put the bread down and realize that it’s cuddle time. Obviously.
OH gosh, I’m getting excited. ONLY 100 more photos TO GO. I can’t believe it. It’s closing in on me. What, you ask? Freedom. In all seriousness though, as much as I whine about this project, it’s been quite an experience. There are tons of photos that I just wouldn’t have taken if I didn’t have to. Photos that I turned out loving. What on earth am I going to do after 365? Perhaps some collaborative projects?
Hi. My name is Sara, I’m twenty-four years old, my favorite color is orange, and I have an overwhelming desire to preserve my life with photos and words.

oh my god!!
is cute!! :3
lovely photograph… i wish i had kept all my journals over the years. unfortunately, i set some free in a fit of stupidity. but i still have my newer lovelies.
i’m curious as to why yours are so thick?? do you put photos in them? articles? or is it just a trick of the photo.
and i find it interesting that you name them. thanks for sharing this rather intimate photo
Beautiful sweetheart! I cannot wait for my invitation either! I’ve got to figure out how I’m going to do the time off request.
adorable
I like the shot with the journals and the rose/charm necklace. This makes me miss photography!
so, i found you and tom in pixel form!

I wish I wrote like this! Ever since I was little I loved the idea of having a special notebook to carry around always and write in constantly. Unfortunately I’m not too good at it.
I need a dress like this!!
I didn’t even notice pumpkin in the photo with your bread. It scared me when I looked for him after you mentioned him! Haha.
Also, I was ironing clothes yesterday, and ironed 7 or 8 shirts and hung them on the edge of the ironing board to put away together. When I put them away, I realized they were all either black or white. I used to have such a colorful wardrobe!
Wonderful photos!!
Oh, and if you don’t like the sun in that engagement photo of you and Tom, why did you use it as your 365? Just curious!
Haha, he’s kind of creepy that way, huh? I have a lot of colorful scarves or undershirts, but I love grey sweaters and cardigans.
About the engagement 365: I kind of made a promise to myself a few weeks ago that I would try really hard not to “reuse” photos for my 365, and that if I had already done a blog post about something and used a photo, I would use something else for the 365 project so everything remained fresh. So, all my favorite engagement photos were already shared! Plus, I really do love this photo. I think the big flowers are goofy, and it’s a cute moment, I just wish the sun/shade had cooperated a little more.
I totally understand.
I think I have mostly white and black for work. Most of the white and black shirts I don’t wear on the weekends or in the evenings outside of the office. I do have a few black t-shirts, but they have something on them, and are a minority next to the colorful ones I have. But since work is 5/7 days…I end up mostly neutral.
I love that strawberry dress. I’ve been looking all over for some sort of summer print that I love, but as of yet have come up with nothing. Though, in Florida we can kind of wear “summer dresses” all year, so I’ve got tons of time.
As for working toward finishing the project. I am so proud (also read: jealous) that you have found the resolve to start and finish this. It’s very inspiring. When I get a computer I may try again, just because I now know it really can be done- and done well.
It was really hard, but it’s been really rewarding at the same time. I can’t believe this is pretty much the home stretch.
Oooh. I could be down for a collaboration, once you’re done three-six-five-ing it up! Did you have any ideas in mind?
I was hoping you’d say that! Though I’m not what we should do. We’ve got time though to come up with something good, so I’ll email you!
I love this photo. As someone who has never been able to stick with journaling for any length of time, I have nothing but respect for people who do
Your journals are beautiful.
Nice DoF!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/louveciennes] I haven’t named my new one yet, I hate to think I’m falling out of the habit! = ]
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/angielaa] Sometimes I feel like I am lucky, other times I’m embarrassed, ashamed, proud, or sad. Sometimes having these memories readily available is a good thing and sometimes not. For the most part I’m very glad.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/meet-you-there] Thank you!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/fdoeppen] They are probably my favorite fruit! Though sometimes that changes!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/ritabohuczki], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/tranbina] Thank you!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizzaranka] I adore pockets in dresses! I love having a place to rest my hands and a place to put my chapstick.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51404237@N03] I didn’t! I grabbed a few though because they were so inexpensive and I plan on wearing them in the house, or out, all the time.
wow lovely! beautiful journals!
That takes commitment! I wish I had this much of my history to keep around. You’re very lucky.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/to_by] Oh gosh, I love it. It barely leaves my camera!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/midgetontheedge], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/thevince] Good morning again, only today! = ]
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mojo-fire] Maybe I should chop my hair and dye it black. Oh, but my prince has already arrived!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/isayx3] Nothing gets by you! Yes, I was holding a hand mirror! The window reflections in the lens gave it away?
I love the material. Did you make this?
wait a sec..how did you do this? were you holding a mirror?
i had a journal that looked just like nathaniel. i like that you named them
You’re not pale, you’re Snow White chic!
Good morning! On y va!
I have the Nikon version.
Good morning!
this looks awesome! I have the same lens, f/1.4 is amazing!
How could you have written so much! It takes me years to fill up on! Love the layout
OMG the dress is wayyy too cute!!!
Beautiful! Is this something you might wear on your wedding day, as per the title of the photo?
Gosh I love pockets in dresses! Makes them all the more practical.
Wow! Beautiful.
very sweet
She’s probably wondering how she never thought of that
On topic, love your face in the background. Like a painting!
I’m pretty sure she is OK with it.
It is beautiful, such a treasure!
Funny how strawberries are not only cute, they are delicious!
Oh, yeah! Pockets, always!
Thank you so much, and yes they are! There are even a few that aren’t pictured!
you have beautiful hair, are these all of your journals?
