We had been holding our marriage license (I can not even bear in mind the steps to that entire course of) and we made a last-minute determination to drive all the way down to Cleveland for a number of days. (We did not plan a honeymoon as a result of we simply did not have the cash to make a journey. Take a look at us! We had been CHILDREN once we obtained married. Haha! I used to be 21 and he was 22.)
The second image was from a bit over every week in the past once we dressed up a bit to go to a buddy’s birthday dinner. It is loopy to consider all the issues which have occurred within the final 19 years… crucial being Noah and Eli!
Okay, let’s get on to the readers’ transformations for this week…
My good buddy not too long ago had a child and moved into a brand new dwelling. As a housewarming present her boss came visiting and planted a backyard for her within the again yard. My buddy is a metropolis woman who has by no means grown ANYTHING! She was very nervous about having the duty of caring for the backyard however she watered repeatedly. And a pair of months later it was such a enjoyable “harvest” for her!!!! I used to be very impressed.

We went as children within the late 80s/early 90s and now we go together with my mother and father, my brother, and our spouses and children. The “earlier than” image is of my son in 2014, testing the kayak for the primary time with my dad (facet observe: he did NOT truly exit within the kayak, they had been on shore for the image, which is why he has no life jacket on).
Quick ahead eight years to this summer season, when he was capable of truly paddle the kayak across the lake all on his personal. He had such a good time! They aren’t mendacity after they say the times are lengthy however the years are brief.
