Flashback Friday



The man in this photo had been a bachelor for years. He went to the gym regularly. He ate a lot of Chinese takeout. He spent more time with his computer than with human company.

The woman in this picture woke up every morning and went running. She lived alone with two cats and an entire room full of fabric, sewing machines, and quilt patterns. She taught school.

The man and woman had just met.

4 years after this picture was taken they would be married with 2 children, have moved to a different city, have gained a total of 100 pounds between the two of them and get winded from climbing the stairs. There now isn't much time for playing with computers ,working out, or running. The fabric - what survived the great purge of 06 - is now consolidated to one cabinet that is rarely opened, and teaching school is a distant memory.

But they are happier than they ever thought possible.

They were a good looking couple, weren't they?

I agree with anonymous, they still are a great looking couple.

Besides still looking good, this couple has multiplied their love and shared their humor. There are lots of ways to grow, and you're doin' fine!
