I interrupt playing Blog catch up to bring you...

...random memories!!! :)

Kyle and I have been working in separate parts of the house cleaning tonight (I had no idea any more cleaning could be done after all we did before the holidays), and he was upstairs cleaning out some boxes with pictures, etc. He brought a few of them down and we've had the most fun going through them. We even found some of the first emails we sent back and forth when we first started dating. This was good for my SOUL, y'all.

The pictures that we found were not in any sort of chronological order, and they were not organized at all. It was like all the misfit photos that were not in an album. Many of them are parts of larger sets of pictures that are in albums somewhere. I could not resist sharing a few of these pics that made me smile...and LAUGH. They are fuzzy because I was holding them in my lap and taking pictures of the pictures with Kyle's phone. Anyway, I don't have time for scanners. Ha! It's almost 1 a.m. I'm really regretting drinking that Diet DP at 6:00.

OK...here is little Me riding my tricycle at Granny's. :)

Edit: Mom sent me this note correcting me on the location of this pic. Now that I look at the background, I see.
Hey Linz -
Just thought I would let you know.....that picture of you with your tricycle is on our little (very little) patio on Navajo Trail in Marshall, TX. Haha. You had a swing set back there. And a sand box. And just enough of a patio to have a really good time! Sweet days. Love it.


Me with Gran & Pap in the Smoky Mountains for their 50th wedding anniversary. Our entire family went to Gatlinburg, and it was amazing.

That same trip. All seven grandkids (plus Kyle!). We aren't ALL together very often.


Hugging Mom as we left our wedding reception. I love that part, but what I also love is the fact that the two little heads you see watching us hug are Mitchell and Dustin (my brother and SIL), who got married this year. How cool!

Cheesy Cruise Picture. Triple offense.
1. We took the picture.
2. We bought it.
3. We had it in an 8 x 10 on our mantle.
Yes sir.
This was 2007.
We should have known better.
But oh, is it a good laugh now.


Me with Morgan and Nick Silvio. This picture cracked me up because I'm sure it was my idea for us to hold this cardboard flag and salute. We are in front of Maw Maw and Paw Paw's house.

I love this because we are in Houston! Britt was interning at Weatherford, so when we came to the Tim/Faith concert, we met her and Ryan for dinner at the Grand Luxe Cafe before the concert. Keith & Kayla were with us.

I have always liked this picture because we actually both look decent. Kyle and I don't usually photograph well together. Usually one of us looks OK and the other doesn't. But this one I like!

BB & me on our wedding day.
6.7.2003 :)


This really made me laugh because I forgot I went to Camp Zoar as a counselor in 2002. I love that Becca and I were there together!


I realize there are a lot of pictures of Brittany in this post, but this box was so random, and it was predominately pictures of Brittany and me. The others were just mixed in. This one was before our Sadie Hawkins dance our senior year. We did have dates, but of course we had to have a picture with just us. Smart girls because those guys are long gone but our bond is forever. Ha! I don't ever remember being this skinny. It probably only lasted a week.


And this was at the actual dance that night...there are just no words for this pic.


OK...that was it. I told you. Random. Not chronological. But I got a kick out of some of these and a smile and almost a tear out of others.

Fun times.
Life is good!
