Fun Times - pics and the dress

This morning I was looking for something online and randomly Googled my name (not the first time). I would hope that all of you out there have done the same for your own name and if you haven't, stop reading now and try it. This morning I did the search for my married name in Google Images (which for my name gives you pics of the author and of the adult entertainment star with my same name...thoroughly entertaining). Googling in regular web Google is one thing. Googling in Google Images can be much more fun. I tried the same image search with my maiden name and found the blog post that our wedding photographer, Amelia Tarbet did for her photography blog. I love it! We are in that blog post and on her main site under 'portraits'.

Looking at the pics in the blog post made me realize how much I have changed physically in the last two years. I was injured for the 5-6 months prior to our wedding and was not in good shape at all. I weighed close to 15 pounds heavier than I do right now. I also had long hair, which many of you don't even know that I had. In my life, I have mostly been a long haired girl. I don't think I look bad in our wedding pics at all, but I definitely like the shorter hair and fitter body that I am sporting right now.

At breakfast on Saturday, Lex was talking about having her alterations appointment for her wedding dress, and it made me think about the same experience with my own dress. I love love love my wedding dress. It was so perfect for me, and I knew when I tried it on for the first time that it was the one that I wanted. This morning I put it on again for the first time since right after the wedding and it still looks just as beautiful as that day. It is too big, of course, but I love it all the same.

Ahhh...fun times.
