a person in 5,311 photos me Back at home, we celebrated with Nutty Buddies... The taping went super quick and we were finished and on our way out the door before 1:30! (We DVRed the whole next season of the series, but never saw the episode with us on it! So we're not even sure if it ever even aired! Anyone ever see it?) They were filming three different episodes so there were nine couples in total. Here's us after we got separated with the other two couples we'd be appearing on an episode with! Thursday morning. 7:30am cab ride cross town... ...and here's us being newly married. After we'd gotten the paperwork completed, they took us aside to take some quick photos for the show. Here's us looking natural... Astra, me and Amanda. ...and his trusty sidekick, The Gusset! ...and cuddled on the couch. After a long evening of eating pie, Maddy and I put on our matching shirts... On Sunday I ate an apple. I took the day off on Friday! Ran errands with this one. Mark updated the whiteboard drawing. Haha. ...we quietly took this photo and let him wake up on his own pretending we hadn't noticed. About 20 minutes later, we emailed him this picture. Hahahaha. With the park closing soon, all the lines for the big coasters were closed. So Cat and I decided... There wasn't really a line so as soon as we got off, we got back in line for another go! Me and Mandymoo. Up next! Hands up before the drop, here we go! Tee-hee-hee. Not enough hours later, I had to be at work the next day! I arrived to our team's office to find that Patrick had drawn awesome caricatures of us. Haha. Ran into Rachel there. ...and played light up frisbee for hours! All packed up and ready to head home! Thanks again to Jenny for suggesting the trip and organizing the weekend! ...and then decided to balance my camera on the boardwalk railing and try a few snaps with the autotimer. Hahah. Other side of the table. Sunday was our last day in the house! Sweet Corn, indeed. Haha. Josh took this picture of me jumping in case I ever want to photo shop myself into all the "jump photos" I'm not in . Before leaving, we gathered for a group shot with the auto timer. Later that afternoon, the seven of us loaded ourselves into the family van we'd rented for the weekend... ...with a pre-breakfast swim! ...by promptly falling asleep on the bed like this. Photo courtesy of Meredith. Friday afternoon, we packed up our stuff... I met this guy when I was on a hill-trek in Thailand in 2005 and we've seen other a few times since! It's hard to get the grimple to sit still and cooperate when she's wriggling to lick your faces. Wednesday was our first wedding anniversary! We celebrated with a family portrait. ...our one-year wedding anniversary! I love you, good one! Thanks for spending my life with me! (I'll try to not take so many photos of you while you're eating!) That afternoon, we borrowed my mom's car and drove across southern Jersey so Meredith could attend her friend Mandy's bridal shower! ...compared to the kids' table! Three sets of Battjers! :) Blue eyed people can't take photos facing the sun! We got dressed up in our finest summer wear and headed over to Long Beach Island at half past four. Me and Kristi. ...the beach! And also dogs. Haha. Standing outside together, my brother and I realized we had accidentally coordinated outfits! Excited to be... Thanks so much for having me again, Grant & Aki! I had an amazing time! Auto timer! We met up with Aki and decided to bike over to a nearby park with... Buddies. ...we were both starting to regret our decision to wear shorts. Hahah. So relaxed and natural! Then later that afternoon, we caught the bus up to Whistler! ...we strolled around... With Tia Tequila? Back on the road... ...FOR ADVENTURE! I'm the least flexible person in the world. I have to stretch almost every day or my muscles get all short and knotty and sore. Before agreeing to head out to eat, I made Grant endure my weird morning stretching routine. Here's the move I call "old man smoking in Chinatown squat." Oh, no big deal just having morning coffee on the little back porch. Saddest reason for having extra-elbow room ever. Solo trip to Vancouver ROUND 2! After arriving at the airport, Meredith checked in at the ticket counter and the person at the counter pointed out that her passport had expired. Unfortunately, this is the last photo of Meredith and I together on this trip! As soon as you lay down on our couch, this tiny visitor jumps up to say hi. I'm usually big spoon. Later that evening, we all met back up to do a late-night walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. Wonderful! Birthday buddies! En route I ran into Ellen on the street! The men's are grey and blue! ...joined forces with Pauly & Cynthia and drove out to Queens for a day at... Pink noses! Lucky! So glad you made it! The dreaded birthday ass-vice! I love this picture! Thanks for being my boo, boo. Birthday wish! <3 ...it's just a quick walk through Chinatown to get to VEGGIE DIM SUM! Woooo! Bright-shirt contest. I tried a new place for a haircut and they have me SPOCK bangs! Still managed to meet up with Pauly on the way! Wooooo! On Monday night a bunch of us got together... <3 He gave me an early birthday present of one of his illustrations on a shirt! Taking the houndine for a walk later that evening. ...that's when you know you're almost home! The house my parent's bought is in a retirement community that has an age-minimum. Because Meredith and aren't residents, we need to be accompanied by one of my parents if we'd like to visit the pool. Couch napping. Here's me doing my impression of my father "ten minutes in the future." He laughed... Downright frosty. ...and headed crosstown to the UCB Theater.
