Before you knew me...

I thought I would share some of my life before I began this blog. I've been going through a lot of our old pictures and I've been having fun reminiscing about the good ole days. Here is me on New Years Eve the winter before my wedding. This is what I did before kids. That was fun! Check out the bird on Shannon's shoulder!

Here is our family before babies and marriage. Since that Christmas, we have added our dog Tucker, Annika and Bianca. How fast things change!

Here we are on our wedding day. What an amazing day. We had so much to look forward too, didn't we? Gosh do I miss that body!

Ok, now here is where all the trouble began. This was taken at my baby shower for Annika. Can you believe I was only 26 weeks?!?! Disgusting. I gained 50 pounds with that child!

Here I am on July 20th, 2005, Annika's birthday. Check out that 50 pound baby in there!

Ok, here I am preggo with Bianca, probably around the same time. I look bigger than I actually was.

And Finally, here I am the day I delivered Bianca. January 20th, 2007. Exactly 18 months to the day Annika was born.

So, in the last 4 years I've gained approximately 25 pounds, have had 2 amazing little girls and am well on my way to the third joy of my life. I've gotten married, acquired a total of 3 animals, lived in 2 houses, have had 2 jobs which has landed me on my lifetime role of mom. I've made so many new friends and found my calling in life. What a great 4 years! Thanks for letting me share.

How fun! Of course I've known you since you were the little brat who called our house 100 times a day...(you know I love you!) and didn't I catch you TPing my house once too?! Never mind, that might've been some other girls, but I came home drunk one night while in college to find some girls Bri knew TPing us. I just laughed!
Anyhoo, great pics. You definitely carry these last two pregnancies better than with Annika! LOL
