Blast from the Past (Part One)

I've decided that from time to time I am going to post old pictures and explain what is going on in them. So here we go!

This is a picture of my dad as a kid. He was a cute, but rather funny-looking child :)

This is me resting after backpacking 7 miles up a mountain in 100 degree weather. I was 19 then.

Gopher hunting! A popular past-time in Montana. I was 18-19ish here, and yes, I smoked for like a minute of my adult life. Yuck.

This was my first honeymoon. Yes first. This gladiator was sacrificing my now ex-husband. I didn't mind because we were already fighting on our honeymoon. I was 20.

First Husband in Tuscany. We traveled through Rome, Florence, Tuscany, and Venice. I funded the entire trip.

Oh, the wine. I believe I was pretty intoxicated in this picture. The other couple here was another newlywed couple we met.

Wedding #1. Again, I was 20. I had a big, beautiful expensive wedding. I filed for divorce and moved out 5 months later.

Me and my little sister. Ok, she's my half-sister. What? you didn't even notice we don't look alike? I was 21 and living with my mom again.

Ah, the CWU days. After the divorce, and a quarter off of school, I went back and partied it up. This is me and my old roommate. 21 years old.

My roommate's boyfriend at the time, but take a look at the table. Yep, we knew how to drink...

And my life as a professional bar-goer started. Both of my best friends were bartenders in a college town. What else was I to do? In fact, I think I quit college at this point and just went to the bar every night. Except Sunday. Nothing fun ever happens at the bar on Sunday. Unless of course it's Superbowl.

And all the drinking made me fat. Here I am hunting gophers again. Must have been 21 here.

My old truck. It saw some parties. Mostly redneck bonfire kegger in the woods parties.

And here I am at a bar again with my roommate.

My first and only trip to Leavenworth, Washington. Again, 21 years old.

My roommate and another one of her boyfriends. She cheated on him with a Chippendale dancer. I know, I was there! Cheater. Liar.

And this is how they party in Tennessee... This woman 5 times my size decided to pick me up and spin me around in the air. I think she wanted to wrestle me. 22 years old.

Me and my ex-boyfriend in Tennessee. He's dead now. Drinking and driving will do that to a person.

Wow, I was pasty pale on that trip. It was November 2005.

Here we were in Memphis. I was freezing to death, but I would rather wear cute clothes than warm clothes. Pain is beauty people.

Yep, I'm gonna chug it!

And here comes hubby #2. Also known as current hubby. This was when we were engaged. 22 years old.

Wedding #2. I was 4 months pregnant and fit in a size 6 dress. Accomplishment!

And we lived happily ever after... Wait, no we didn't, but 5 years later we're still together. Must count for something. Really though, I was so very happy on this day :)

Well, thanks for traveling to the past with me!
