Yep, that is me.
The one with her mouth wide open, eyes crinkled shut and laughing like crazy.
And I fully embrace all that she is. Crinkly eye lines and open-mouthed smile and a husband who shakes his head at the photographer that can never seem to get it together to have her picture taken. Ironic, I know.
Because this is how I live - out loud and unabashedly. And I always seem to be talking just a bit too much. And a bit too loudly. And I laugh so often that the lines around my eyes never fade. And that mouth, it somehow never seems to be closed in any picture I have ever seen of myself. But I find that it's OK, because those pictures, all of them, represent the real me.
And I would love to point one of my ever-present cameras at you and capture the true you.
Because what is better than being able to look back on a moment, frozen forever in time, and be able to re-live it all over again?
