Holiday countdown PIP poll
I'm stealing and adapting this from the H&F board.
Post a pic for each category.
1. The earliest picture of yourself & HH that you can access right now
2. A holiday-related pic
3. A pic related to a hobby you have
Re: Holiday countdown PIP poll
First picture (we were dressed up for a friend's wedding in December 2007; the kiss was a surprise):
Holiday (this was taken in the car right before we went into the Christmas Eve service at church-- in 2008, obviously):
Hobby (my most recent knitting project-- fingerless gloves):
This was taken at my first WVU football game in 2008
Christmas Eve last year at my grandparents house, HH doesn't look very happy lol
Hobby: Canoeing/fishing (its the best I've got at work)
This is one of the first photos of us ever taken. We met in April, went on our first date in May, and became "boyfriend and girlfriend" in June. 8 days after we became official, we went to Europe together. This picture was taken in Germany. I was SO SICK in this photo, I had strep throat the day before and could only get meds for it the morning that this pic was taken. Thankfully the meds cleared it up, so I was really only miserable for one night of our trip
This one is from our first Christmas together. You can see the big mark on his nose - he had gotten hit playing hockey, and now he has a huge scar there.
I couldn't really think of a hobby that I do, but then I kind of thought that travelling is sort of a hobby (I've been on a big trip every year for the last 5 years) and so are extreme sports. So here is a photo of me in New Zealand, on the day I went skydiving:
This was at New Years Eve 2005, we met the previous July
Halloween, this was several years ago
Fishing, Jay is holding the giant catfish I caught, I didn't want to touch it because it had HUGE spines
I'm pretty sure this is the earliest pic of us... there might be one from a concert that is older but I don't know where it is. This was June 2006 (We met in early April). We were at the American Airlines Center to watch Game 3 of the NBA finals on the JumboTron! GO MAVS!!!
This was our second Christmas together (2007). And this was our Christmas card pic that year! (SO CHEESY<3) And don't kid yourself. This took about 50 pictures to get and even then, we had to PhotoShop Petey (the bigger dog) because there wasn't a single shot with both dogs behaving!
And last but not least.... Us snowmobiling in Wyoming (about 20 minutes from our cabin, about an hour from Jackson Hole) this past Spring Break with our BFFs! Since my parents finished the cabin last fall (Sept 09) We've been up there 6 times! Each time for about a week and I LOVE it! I would live there if it wasn't so rural! I SO wish we were there right now! It was like 10? up there today! (85 here. WTF)
Fun post!
The second day we met, Army base in Germany 2002. I had a few margaritas & don't remember this being taken ... but I'm so glad it was!
Christmas last year (with my niece)
The closest pic I have to a hobby is the zipline in Alaska.
Here is a holiday picture of us... we spent Christmas of 2008 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Here is one of our first pictures in 2007.... we were at a Redskins game

I couldn't find any hobby pics, besides traveling ones. Thought you'd appreciate this more. My "hobby" getting spilly (this was a gangster themed party... the shell bra would come out once I got tipsy at my friend's apt and later I would get spilly).
I apologize in advance for the`large pictures
Here is the very first picture taken of us in 2004.
Here's a picture of us from Easter 2009.
Here's a picture of us (DH) from our honeymoon, fishing
Earliest pic -- High school graduation in 2005
Holiday Pic - Celebrating my BFF's bday in late Nov (maybe 2008?) & took some pics in front of the big Christmas tree at the mall. This was the first & only time I've ever done my hair curly. I should try it again.
My hobbies: Reading & Traveling. (I have others -- shopping, cooking, sleeping, etc). Here we are on our honeymoon in June 2010. Note the book beside me & please don't be blinded by our white selves.
I don't have my external hard drive with me, so my options are pretty limited. Here is an early picture from 2002. We had been dating almost a year.
This was from Dan's work Christmas party two years ago.
Lizzie dressed up as Santa last year. She wasn't happy.
I don't really have any hobby pictures on my computer. But watching pageants is a hobby and competing in them used to be a hobby, so here is a pageant picture.
These are fun pics, it's neat to learn a bit about everyone. Keep 'em coming!
This is from March 2006.. we met in January.
This was our Christmas tree last year.. Complete with a leg lamp. We did not plan the green and red either.. it just happened!!
This is us on our honeymoon.. it was our first cruise and we cannot wait for more!
Ok, here's one of our earliest pictures that I have access to. I'm not sure exactly when it was taken, but we met in August of 2006.
Christmas 2007:
Hobbies... hmmm.... I don't really have any pictures of any of my hobbies on my work computer, so I'll see what I can scrounge up...
Um... being silly??
At the lake:
Fishing:
