10 Years Ago Today

Today is the 10 year anniversary of the first date Casey and I ever went on and actually the first time we ever met. 10 Years! Casey had seen me in passing but I had not yet seen him until he came to my front door ten years ago today- April 23, 1999. The only thing I had to go on was this.... his 8th grade yearbook picture (we had gone to Meeker Jr. High at the same time several years earlier). You bet I pulled out the old yearbook to see who I was going to be going out with.

I don't have any pictures of that first date but thats okay because I can remember it so clearly. The red Bronco, everything I was wearing, everything he was wearing, Spaghetti Factory, mini-golf, and Nickels. We've been together ever since (well...there were a few "breaks").

These are the first couple of pictures I have of us together.

That first summer at the Potholes.

The Bronco.

I LOVE YOU CASEY. I'm glad you got up the guts to call me and make a date that changed the rest of our lives.

me then & them now

I saw something similar to this on someone else's blog. I thought it would be kind of interesting to find photos of me at the same (or close to the same) age as my girls are now. The two pictures of Kyla and I are both at age 3 1/2. The first picture of Heidi and I we are both around 15 months (I think) and the 2nd one is about 19 months. My mom says Heidi looks how I did as a baby. I can kind of see it from these pictures.

So blonde!

We miss you Jam-Cat.

Our cat Jammer has been gone almost a year now but Kyla still mentions him often. If you ask her if she has a pet she still says she has a cat named Jammer but that he is lost. A year ago, when he disappeared after moving to our new house we told her that he was either lost in the woods behind our house or that he went to live at someonelse's house. Well, I think she combined the two and always tells us that Jammer lives in a little house in the woods with little tiny cabinets! Yesterday, was the first time she told me that she wanted him back. Sad! We miss him a lot. We had him for 4 1/2 years. He was a great cat...except for a few very annoying habits.
