Today is my wedding anniversary.
John and I have been married for four years and together for fourteen years, almost half our lives.
The photo above is from the first Thanksgiving that John (right) came home with me. I was 19 and he was 20. That's my younger brother lying in my lap.
It has been quite a journey — nothing that I expected, higher highs and lower lows. I know that I have grown, he has grown, and we have grown together as a couple.
I can't wait to see what's next for us!
—
P.S. Someone asked about my process of working with photos. Here's a link to a post I wrote all about it.
P.P.S. The winners of the Halloween tags are (I am going to give away two sets – the originals and the ones I made in class)…
How adorable. Hubby and I met at a Halloween Party, and got married 5 years later on that date! Halloween is a special day at our house.
As for technique, I sure could stand to learn a lot more about using mist and masking!!Love the blog!!

happy anniversary! you know I do not ever scrapbook my hubby and I … just us. I guess since I started this ‘hobby’ (er… obsession) when my first son was 1 year old and then I had two more sons in less than three years … yeah, not much energy for romantic layouts!
thanks for the giveaway! I am sooooo happy to be getting the tags!

I love all your LOs, they are each so different yet so very you. There’s so many great techniques shown that I can’t wait to try.
On my blog today I posted one of your Scrapbook Memories projects that I tried my hand at. Thanks for the inspiration.

Getting caught up on my reading and just now saw this lovely tribute to your husband. Just wanted to say how moved I was by it. I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on what my own husband means to me and I love how well you’ve expressed your feelings for yours on your pages. It made me realize I don’t have a lot of that in my scrapbooks.
