1. So, this is me with my sister Tiffany.
She was five then, and I was nine. We're in our bedroom. We shared a room. It was kind of fun. 2. This is me with my brother Ted. We're in the front yard of our house.
I was 17 there, almost out of high school.
My brother was only 9. He was a totally cute kid. Don't look at my hair there.
3. Oh, here. We were at my grandmother's house, my grandma Ella. I loved going there.
She made the best cookies. That's me and my babysister Ginny. I was twenty-one then, and she was 3. And my grandma Ella. She was amazing. She was 95 there!
4. Oh, and here we are in my backyard, a happy day. It's my college graduation. That's me and my dad, Bill. He's a professor at the college I went to, so that's why we're dressed the same.
5. Oh, and that's the whole crew on my wedding day in front of the church. You won't remember everyone,
but you can see that's me in the middle, and of course my husband, Phil, next to me,
Ted and Tiffany all grown up, Ginny again, and there's grandma Ella again. I was 25 when I got married. What a fun wedding we had. 6. Oh, and this is just me and my sister, Tiffany, and my husband, Phil.
We were just fooling around at Phil's parents' house.
I think this was the summer after we got married, so I was like 26 here. I look pretty much the same as at my wedding, except for my clothes, of course.
