Today is 11 years. On Thursday, May 22, 1997 Shawn and I eloped.
11 years since Shawn came home from work, drove to my Grandma’s and said, “Do you want to get married today?, ” and I said, “sure.”
11 years since I weighed 102 lbs. and Shawn 195.
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and do things over again, most days I don’t.
I don’t mean the big things like getting married or having kids. I’m talking about little things like not eating cheese and pickles for a snack when pregnant. Not wearing this to get married. (Though I can save myself some embarrassment because I did not go so far as to wear a hat.) Though these (not exact, but close enough), I still have and wear, I even have them in pink.
Happy Anniversary Babe!
I am going to publicly apologize for the quality of the photos. I am to lazy to hook up the scanner.

Congratulations on 11 years of marriage. You look amazing in these photographs - and I think there are always some little details you want to change about your wedding day in retrospective as fashions change so much over the years.

Happy Anniversary!
(We all made bad fashion choices in the 90’s. Don’t fret, you’re not alone)
