Feel like someone is watching me

Unfortunately I have been less than crafty lately (who I am kidding, I haven't even started being crafty.... my cricut I got for Christmas is still in the box) so I have nothing to show you.  However there are less than two weeks until our engagement session with Nicole.  I am so excited and have been busily preparing.  How have I been preparing you are about to ask?

Well since you are dying to know I am happy to share.  First up is the personal hygiene category.  I have been dutifully using the Clinique 3 step system in hopes of getting that bridal glow.

Unfortunately it is not really working yet.  I justify my less than perfect skin on the change in the seasons.  I have only been using it for a week so I am hoping it just takes some time to kick in.  I also made a hair appointment on that day for a blow out and will probably get my nails down just so she can photograph my gorgeous ring. 

On the fitness front, I have been working out more.  And by more, I mean once or twice a week instead of none.  I don't have a routine down yet but Mr. LP has been an all-star about running lately so I plan on tagging along with him.  I know there is very little I can really accomplish before next Sunday but I will hopefully jump start my routine for the wedding (which is in 200 days... ahh!). 

I have no clue what I am going to wear yet so don't even ask.  I don't have work on Monday so I am headed to the mall hopefully I will have something to show soon.  Cute shoes are a must though.

Most of my preparation has been in the form of  stalking other photographer's blogs.  We aren't getting married in DC so we want tons of photos of us in our neighborhood and at the historical landmarks.  I feel compelled to create a file of my favorite photos since we don't have unlimited time. 

I doubt we will go to any of the Smithsonian's but I love this one.

 These next two are really nice with the early evening light.  Mr. LP and I don't like a lot of PDA so I really appreciate the 'just walking down the street enjoying the day, not making out' feel.

What is that.... just us walking down the street with our totally cooperative dog.  Of course!

I am totally in love with this shot which appears to be quite popular.

This shot is Every Where! (source)

We will be taking our photos during the craziest time to be down on the National Mall.... the Cherry Blossom Festival.  It is going to be insanity but we are hoping to get great shots like this:

Have I missed any iconic DC landmarks?  Any suggestions on how many outfit changes is too many?!
