I missed last week and am sliding in this evening with a late post.
This week's flashback honors my two favorite things: Gary and Eliza.
Let's start with Eliza. Here she is, looking adorable, 1 year ago:

| Polka Dot Princess |

| Sleeping Beauty |
It's hard to remember her this little!
Moving on to Gary. On August 22, 1997 I asked Gary (through a friend of course) to be my boyfriend. It's been 15 years, and I'd say we both made a pretty great decision at that RHS Zebras football game. So, this portion of the post is dedicated to our middle school selves. Yes, I'm putting these out there...

Spring 6th Grade Dance. I was going for a 60s look. I had some baby fat, and was bigger than Gary.
We weren't together, just placed this way in the picture. |

| My birthday party in 7th grade. Gary was obviously thrilled to be there. |
 |
| 7th Grade Basketball Tournament. |
 |
| Spring 7th Grade Dance. My first updo. Gary missed the smile part! |
Did you notice a theme in the above pictures? Even though in all of those pictures we weren't ever boyfriend/girlfriend, we always ended up in pictures together! I think we were drawn together by the universe so one day when I needed to make a wedding slideshow or Flashback blog post, I'd have all these pictures of us standing next to or near each other. ;)
Finally, here's a picture of us actually together, in the spring of 1998 at our 8th Grade Dance.

| Cheese! One of the first of many pictures like this... |
So, happy anniversary, Gary! I'm glad we aren't 13 anymore!
Kyle and I LOVED These pictures. Oh my gosh. Plus, it was fantastic to see ridiculous-looking Kyle in the background of a few of your pics. Haha. I don't even remember him from middle school, so the pictures always make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you guys have been together for 15 years. That's insane. But happy anniversary!
