A long, long time ago... like the Summer of 1997, I had my senior pictures done... It was thirteen years ago this summer that they were taken. Yet I can remember that day as if it was just yesterday. That summer, to be more specific.
I had a long post wrote up about then and now, but decided against posting it.
While my teenage years played a part in who I am today, I'm thankful to be right where I am, even if that young girl in the pictures is just a slight resemblence of the lady woman gal I am today.
Happily married, stay at home mom, 4 kids...
When I was growing up, I dreamed about these days... being married, having children... and now I'm living the dream.
**Thanks to Neisha for kindly reminding me about my Shoot Me! post... which I hadn't forgetton about, I, err, just didn't have a picture for.. a current pic that is. :)

You were as beautiful then as you are now! So happy you are living your dream...doesn't get better than that. Thankful for ladies that have the privilege to stay home.
dear Living the dream,
13 years???? How can that be? This dream life is being mighty kind to you! Fun to see a "back~then" photo anyway.
I am happy to hear you say you love your life and it is what you always wanted. Just the other day i was telling my husband again how much i appreciate being able to do this "stay~at~home~Mom" thing, and i even used those same words "I feel like i am living the dream!"
Love,
Feeling lucky my dream came true
