Thinking Back

I visited our klunky old webpage today to kind of review it and reorganize the photos a bit. Wow, talk about being out of date. By 4 years! You'd think our lives ended in 2004.

Anyway, I was looking at pictures of Mike and I from years past. The one below was taken in Salzburg, Austria in 1999.

I guess it really isn't all that different than a recent photo, taken this past Christmas at my mom's house.
Maybe it is just that I am feeling older and want to verify that I don't really look older... What's with this aging thing, anyway?! Though it is a heck of a lot better than the alternative :)

All in all, we've had tremendous happiness in the past 10 years. We've grown together in experiences and in our relationship. Our relationships with others -- our family and our wonderful dear friends -- have grown, too. I feel so lucky to be where I am today, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Thanks to all of you for being who you are :)

Memory lane is a happy place to visit now and again, the future is fun to consider, but I am so happy just being in now. Smiles!!
