I've been scanning all our pictures so that I can organize our back room. I thought you all might find this interesting.... 
It started out fine. I wasn't the cutest baby by any means but still pretty cute. If Eli were a girl, this is what he would look like.
Then we get to the stage in my life where I was adorable. Really, is there anyone that would disagree?
And then.....something went wrong. I'm not sure what this picture is supposed to be saying to anyone. Maybe, "Stop and take a gander at this delectable piece of eye candy." I'm not exactly sure why my dad (taking the picture) didn't tell me to choose a different pose because I look seriously ridiculous in this picture. Hmmm. Moving right along.
Here I am at age 14 sporting my I love Ben (?) tattoo. Apparently at 14 I still have a missing tooth. Not terribly surprising since I still had a baby tooth when
I was 21.
I did improve a little by 15.
But, don't be fooled....things quickly went downhill again. At 16 I looked like this. Sorry Rachel, I had to post this picture. I'm sure you understand.
And then they got better again (for me and Rachel).
I got braces in college. I met Mike while having my braces. My dentist said when I got them off, "Now you will get all the boys asking you on dates." I told him I was kind of dating someone and he said, "He started dating you while you had on your braces?" What was that supposed to mean?!

While I was dating Mike. He bought these blue babies for me on a date. Nice of him, huh? There aren't a lot of normal pictures of me in college. That might be because I wasn't very mature or normal in college. That's it. Maybe I'll post Mike's journey later. Although, I frequently like to embarrass him and he might get mad.

Carolina, come on...I know you have some too.
Nikki, Mike buy me something?! Your husband buys you things? I think it was a one-time deal.
David, I'm glad you commented on my blog for the first time. Although, that was an awesome comment. I'll have you know that down syndrome children are ADORABLE! I was stinkin' cute.
