As I was putting Cami's piercing earrings away I came across these old photo booth pictures in the bottom of a jewelry box. Ian and I took these in a photo booth at Astroworld in the summer of 1990...18 years ago! As completely "in love" as I was then...as much as a 15 year old girl can be in love...I never in a million years could have imagined the flash forward to today. We have grown up together, built a life together and will grow old together and through it all have remained each others best friend. I know that we are rare among love stories and I sometimes envy those that lived a hundred lives before settling down with that one special someone. However, I count myself as one of the lucky ones that didn't have to kiss all those frogs to find her prince. It is so wonderfully exciting to share past memories and milestone moments with my husband because he shares the same memories and moments from his own perspective...its as though we have the blessing of remembering our past in a multidimensional high definition crispness...where he fills in the blanks for me and I for him to create this detailed tapestry of life that we have woven together. So even though the photos may fade as these have our memories are as vivid as the day they were made.
