Happy Cinco de Maio!!!


Angel and I have this longstanding tradition every Cinco de Maio that I really think is incredible. Especially considering how long we've been doing it and how well we've executed on somehow remembering it every year tat we've been married.

We rarely have been this consistent at things, but Cinco de Maio is one of those holidays that are just too important on the list to miss out on, especially when it comes to tradition. I know alot of you out there are big traditionalist too and you probably think were old fashioned and all, but call us what you will, we just cant seem to get out of this fun pattern!

So every Cinco de Maio Angel and I get up in the morning and we go about our day as if nothing was different... Then about halfway through our day... (This is the best part) one of us says "Happy Cinco de Maio" then we go about our day and go to bed later that night!

Isn't that CRAZY? It's the best!

I for one just am amazed at how much fun we have.

Aside from all that silliness, this picture is an interesting one. Its actually my eye and that beautiful silhouette you can see is the apple of my eye (No, not the new iPhone silly) its Angel!

I had a HUGE grin on my face when we set this shot up and it always reminds me of how much our smiles include the rest of our face, not just our mouths. You cant see my mouth here, but you can "see" the smile.

So remember when you smile, do it like ya mean it and use all 36 muscles of facial expression:
