What do you remember?

Hey everybody! I was just reading my friend, Lindsays blog and I felt inspired to share a couple of photos with you.

Most of you know I married the love of my life last February (I can't believe our anniversary is coming up!!) Alan really is my best friend and everything I could ever want in a husband. When we got married, we had a little slide show of photos at our reception and I want to share a couple of those slide show pictures with you now.





This is a picture of Alan and I both as kids sitting on Santa's lap. Notice our haircuts? haha



This is another picture of Alan and I when we were little kids. Look at our big smiles!



Aren't we just the perfect pair? I sure think so!

It is no wonder that I love the late 70's and 80's because there were so many cool things that I remember about growing up then. I loved watching Punky Brewster and The Facts of Life. I remember loving Duran Duran and Cyndi Lauper. I loved playing with my Cabbage Patch Kid and Barbies in my Strawberry Shortcake bedroom.
I loved doubling my neon colored socks and making friendship pins and wearing jelly shoes. I loved Maybelline Kissing Coolers in Watermelon flavor and pulling my hair back in a banana clip. I could go on and on.

What great memories do you have of growing up?

Ummm, I think that you and I might have been twins or just destine to be friends, because everything you just mentioned was something I had, did or watched as a kid! I made some more bows today, when I had time, I have all 3 kids home again so not allot of progress was made with them. I will post pics later!

We must be about the same age b/c I love all the same things!

About the taco soup I am not sure about the dice tomatoes maybe you can double up on the rotel? Let me think on it if you try something let me know b/c my daughter is not too fond of the tomatoes either she just eats around them lol
