Back when we dated

Here are some pictures I came across recently from Madelyn and first started dating. They are pretty funny, and brought back a lot of memories. I know we've only been married for a little over two years, but even still, with all the daily responsibilities and stress it seems sometimes you can lose track of why you got married in the first place.... The first dates, getting to know eachother, flirting, sending notes, being carefree, etc. Things become somewhat routine, you get lost in the schedules, work, paying bills, and other responsibilities. It's fun to look at some of these pictures, and although they're embarrassing, they really do remind you of how wonderful its been to spend your life with such a great person. Looking at these pictures reminds me of how much fun we've had together, all the memories we've have together, and how grateful I am that we still get to be with eachother every day. I'm an extremely lucky person.

Anyway... enough witht the sappy stuff... on to some embarrassing photos!

I took Madelyn to our senior prom. We weren't dating at the time, but we both had an interest in one another (I think). If you had told me I would end up marrying the women I took to senior prom I wouldn't have believed it! It's crazy how things like that work out. Here we are in Madelyn's parents house front hall after I picked her up. I don't think either of us had any idea how much I would be coming in and out of that door over the next 8 years.

Here we are at our highschool graduation. Again, we weren't dating at the time... but we did make sure to get a picture together..... so something was up! We look like children.

Here we are going to a Halloween party.... For those of you who were at our Rockband party (or saw the pictures) you'll notice I still have the suit. Although, it doesn't fit as well as it used to. Also, notice Lacy popping her head into the picture!

Here we are during our first Christmas. This would have been our Freshman year in college.

This is us on our first trip together. Barbara, John, and us all went down to Las Vegas one weekend. We had a blast.

There was a whole pile of pictures to upload, but Rocky got tangled in the wires and pulled the printer off the table... breaking it in half! So, as soon as we get a new scanner I will make sure to post more pictures.
