8 Years Ago . .

OK, my husband put out a challenge to us on his blog over at Life Outside My Recliner to post an old pic of ourselves and then a new one, just to show how much we have aged.


I found this one from 8 years ago. I just have one question--why am I so sickly pale???? Gotta say, that caricature is pretty much right on, though--maybe even better than the real thing!! (I certainly could never get that much volume out of my hair!)

And, I guess I finally found the right foundation--NONE!!!!


And this one is from about Thanksgiving this past year. It is one of my very favorites of myself. (Probably because it has James in it!) And incidentally, I believe our new baby girl was just barely a twinkle in my eye at this point!!

I honestly think that I look so much better than I ever did before. Am I happier? Is my life more complete? I don't know. But I'm diggin' it!!!

So there you go, Chris. I got to it before you could embarass me. HA!!!

You are right. We were so pale....you look just as young now as you did back then, just fuller eyebrows and longer hair. Maybe after the new baby comes along, it will age you a bit......you're lucky, girl.

That is a great picture...I can't believe it. You are definately getting more beautiful every day...

You look so great in the NOW photo! Like a fine wine...you get better with age my dear!
I'm with you...no foundation for me either...Darin prefers me sans make-up anyway.

You look great - and that is because you are glowing with happiness - it is the best 'foundation' in the world.
