Ever since I signed up with SmugMug (highly recommended!), I’ve been working to reorganize my/Katie’s photos. I’ve gone through about five thousand photos in two months, going backwards from this year, and it’s been wonderful not only to feel better organized but also to remember good times.

Like the time I shaved off my beard (briefly) so Katie could see my face before we got married.

And yes, I did have long sideburns. The only thing I miss about not having a beard was having fun sideburns. They were bold, but they were me.
