Flashback Friday

Leading up to Fridays, I get excited about posting Flashback Friday pictures. Then of course, I get super busy at work and time just passes by. Then when I start looking through pictures, I can't decide. This week, I found this picture and decided to post about it. This picture was taken in February of 1989. I was in the court for a friends Quinceanera. Obviously since it was in February, she chose red, and I'm sorry...these horrible dresses and head pieces.




Buddy and I had started out as best friends. We were confidants. He would tell me his woes and I would tell him mine. Of course, I was only 15 and he was 17. Our woes were really nothing major. Nonetheless, we could confide in each other. A lot had happened in our "teenage romances" and we realized that we liked each other. On this day, he looked passed the dress, the hair, and the headpiece and we started dating. I love that a friend of his mom's happened to snap this picture. How lucky are we to have this picture to remind us of that night.



February 1993 our engagement pictures


On October 30, 1992 Buddy asked me to marry him, I was only 18 years old. Well, I was 19 days away from being 19 to be exact. Still, very young. And even then, people had their concerns about us getting married so young. I knew in my heart, that it was what I wanted. I think that I was very mature for my age, and I never felt that I missed out on anything. If I could go back, I would do it all over again. And, please by no means am I trying to sugarcoat anything. We have had hard times, we still do, but we made a promise to work through tough times, and we have. And we will continue to do so. It's been 20 years since that first picture was taken. A lot has happened since then, but I know that if you ask Buddy, his feelings are like mine. And the two biggest accomplishments that we have had are the two little faces that are in the picture below. The little girl with the missing teeth that stole our hearts when she was born, and the little boy that wrapped a string around our fingers. Our lives revolve around them, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

How refreshing to read that Love is still alive! the best thing you can do for that little girl who stoled your heart and the boy who's string is wrapped around your finger is for you and Buddy to be good examples!! Congratuation on 20 years :)

What an awesome flasback photo + story behind it all!! Isn't it amazing how fast those 20 years went by???

Our stories are so similar! I met my hubby in 1988, but we got married in 1996. In between those years was alot of garbage, but thank God it is all in the past and we left it in the past!!

HUGS!

vous êtes conviés

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Where do I begin???

After a long absence from my blog, I am finally sitting down to post. So much has happened in the past month that I honestly don't know where to begin. December 23, 2009 turned my world upside down. My mom suffered a minor heart attack, and was taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital. When I arrived, she was in good shape, and she was talking. They ordered a CT Scan of her chest. When she got back to the ER from her test, every thing that could have gone wrong, did. She suffered another heart attack, this one was much worse. She was in-tubated and things were not looking very good for her. The next few days were spent waiting for tests to be run, consulting with Dr.s and praying. A lot of praying. We were finally told that she would need to undergo a quadruple bypass. There was a problem with that, because she was in critical condition. Her kidneys were failing, her blood pressure was to high, as was her blood sugar. And, she was to weak. The surgeon said that we would ...
