Photos of Me and Della

Over the past months, I've found myself going through photos quite often. Sometimes it is for a specific purpose (picking a photo for the obituary or my Valentine's Day ) or sometimes it is just a way to remember Della and the wonderful life we had together. (Then, of course, there are the times I can't bear it and have to avoid the painful reminders all together.) In going through the photos, I found myself pulling out ones that fit together for whatever reason. And while I know more photos in each category will emerge, I wanted to get these up so as to share them, but more so that I know they will be archived and I can come back and see them whenever I need to. (Many photos will be repeats, either from previous blog posts (hers or mine) or from my, our, or her instagrams, but I'm guessing a good number of them will be new.)

Costumes

For our job, Della and I had occasion to dress up frequently. But in looking back through the photos, I was reminded of how much we dressed up outside of work as well. Here are some fun ones from over the years.

Kissing

These are the photos I was immediately drawn to, for obvious reasons. I feel so fortunate that I have so many photos to remind me of the love Della and I shared. In organizing and captioning them for this blog post, I also was reminded of how we kissed our way around the world: Jordan, Italy, Indonesia, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Panama, and Mexico just in this collection alone! Then, of course, there were the business kisses, often onstage for the Bellingham Circus Guild's Valentine's Day show. I'm grateful for each of these photos.

Love 'em! Especially digging the one of Petra's clowns and your anecdote about filling in for you at trivia (and of course, what better excuse for lip-synching with costumes?) - it's hard to tell if she's wearing shorts, but if so, then nailed it!
However (and just confirmed with Isa), we don't think that's actually Budapest, at least no bridge either of us recognize - both of us suspect it's actually the Ponte Sant'Angelo in Rome, if y'all went there together? I'll dig around and see if I find any photos of y'all in Budapest on my computer.
Muchos huggos y kissos de Germanyia ;-)

Horge, you're right. Very astute. I cross-referenced the image's EXIF data and my sleeping around schedule, and you're totally right: we were in Rome that day! 5000 points on GeoGuessr*!
