It’s Just Me

Me and my sister
Me about 5 or 6. My sister would have been 8 or 9.

Me 1985
Jump forward…. I’m 15 or 16. We had recently moved from Idaho to Oregon and I was about to meet my future husband.

Bachlorette party 1989
Me 1989 - 19 years old at my bachlorette party. Jan in the picture was my husband’s Uncles’ girlfriend and also my best friend. We worked together at a cookie factory and they lived down the street from us. She threw me a surprise bachlorette party and my boss did a strip tease.

Same year, we got married Oct 21, 1989. First picture is right after all my fake fingernails popped off. Us toasting but we actually faked drinking the champagne because we didn’t like it.

The year my daughter was born. My first born child. I love this girl more than life.

My baby girl is almost 3 years old. I’d returned to work when she was 1 but I hated it, I worked for a year and haven’t worked since. I lost two babies between now and the birth of my son. It was meant to be. The picture from 1998 (which is in the photo album) is when my hair went from brown to blonde.

2000
Sept 2000… the year my son was born. He was a fairly newborn baby and my daughter was a flower girl at my husband’s sister’s wedding.

Us 2007
February before my in-laws 25th wedding anniversary.

I couldn’t get to the photo albums since my husband is napping. He’s doing inventory tonight and will be up all night. So these were the pictures I could find on discs. At one time we used to have professional family pictures taken every other year…. we haven’t had professional pictures taken since 2000
