Anniversary

I know we are a stunning couple but you should have seen us 18 years ago. For one thing, I had fluffier bangs and wore a fashionable big white bow on my butt. Mr. Taylor looks pretty much the same except his hair has lost some of its body. I would have scanned a picture of us looking like we are 15 and looking starry-eyed and dreaming of how our marriage would be THE marriage everybody envied, but scanning is so retro.

Or I don't know how to use the scanner for much more than an expensive paperweight.

And so you get this picture of us on our 18th anniversary. Be grateful this is post pregnancy, stretch pants, extra large sweatshirt, Friends' Rachel haircut (season 2). We're just middle aged people who have joined the masses of other middle aged people who discover that marriage is work, parenting is hard, and beauty fades.

I can't think of anybody else I'd rather spend my life with.

Happy Anniversary.

    Happy anniversary!

    I think you two look pretty good there, despite the years and the kids and the hard work, and the fading beauty...you may be the only person I know who took the realistic route on the whole marriage thing on an anniversary...love it.

    Happy Anniversary.
    I think you both look great!

    It's been 16 for me and I may have had a bow or something. All I know is that I'm sure I couldn't even get the dress over my thigh now!

    I just ran into your site and I'm hooked!

    Thanks,
    Laura

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
