Happy Anniversary

Mike and I were married 14 years ago, today. This isn't the actual photo chosen as our, "engagement picture"...to see that one click right here...but this is a photo from our, "engagement picture" photo shoot. We walked all over the Virginia Tech campus and our friend Stefan took pictures of us for our wedding invitations. My little sisters, Stephanie and Megan, came with us and treated me like a model. They carried a can of hairspray, a hairbrush and some lip gloss and tried to do touch-ups to my overall look each time we switched locations. I guess I needed some help to keep my 80's hair at a perfect volume. It was 1994 when we got married but, as I have admitted before, I had a hard time letting the 80's go. As big as my hair is here...it was even LARGER in the actual 80's.



Mike, honey...I know you get nervous when I post personal things about us (as seen here) but, I just want you to know that I love and appreciate you more than I can express and that I am so grateful we are together. You are such a wonderful husband and father, and my best friend.

Happy Anniversary! We were married in 1994 also! I had a very hard time letting go of 80' hair, and most htings 80's. The music still rocks, and no one has made anything 1/2 as good since. I still use tons of hairspray and only the humidity of Texas has forced me to tone down the 'do!

Here's to the next 50 years!

Great post, and Happy Anniversary! That's so exciting. And I love the picture! You really do look like a model, you're so glamorous!

chrissy said...

Happy Anniversary! You look so pretty! You really should post more pictures of yourself. Or just keep posting ones of your cute kids, because we all like those ones, too.

Awwww... you guys are SO CUTE!!

And you look AMAZING! 80's hair and all! :)

At least your hair is a good color-- I used Sun-in (so 80's).

ORANGE my friend, orange.

Ashlee said...

It's my anniversary today too! :0) But, only 4 years for us. Hope you have a fabulous day!

Elizabeth Caldwell said...

I bow to you... oh queen of aqua net! LOL

How I envy your hair... I had limp fine hair all through the 80's and beyond. I used gallons of sun in to try and make up for lack of volume - but that just got me white blonde dry brittle limp fine hair! Sheesh! I wont have good hair until I lose enough to go to wigs! LOL

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! Congrats on 14 years.

I think we must be on a similar time schedule here. We were married in 1994. It sounds like we were on our missions at the same time (1992). Could you have been born in 1970?

mahina said...

happy anniversary! wow 14 years! that is awesome! i remember walking all around several different place on many different days in search of the best engagement picture! my husband thought i was crazy to have to take so many pictures! he swears we took hundreds and hundreds of pictures! i'd guess if he were to tell the story again today the number would be somewhere around 1000 pictures! hah!

Happy anniversary! Even with 80's hair you were smokin'. Your sisters did a good job keeping you on your game for the photo shoot.

chrissy said...

Hey, did you ever figure out how to leave a link in the comment sections???

Wendi said...

Awww, sweet! Happy Anniversary!

Jake said...

Hope you keep on living happily ever after!

Ilene said...

Happy Anniversary!

LOVE the hair. You two look so in love...

Laurie said...

Happy Anniversary! Hope you get to go somewhere really nice for dinner.

Love the hair--and even though you call it 80s hair, it was moving into the 90s, since your bangs are off to the side. :)

Tristan said...

Wow you have A LOT of hair girl! You are so beautiful too! You have such a warm, pretty face and a great smile! You make a great couple!

Happy Anniversary!

Melissa said...

oh that picture was soooo cute!

Lisa-Marie said...

You rocked the 80's hair. Nothing wrong with that!!!!!

beautiful picture and beautiful sentiment to your love. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hazen5 said...

I am an 80's girl at heart. The bigger the hair the better!

Happy Anniversary

nic said...

I thought of you on Wednesday. Happy Anniversary! It didn't seem like it back then, but looking at that picture now, Mike hardly looks of age to drive, let alone get married. It was a great day. Ah, memories....

Love you.

Jessica said...

From what I can tell, you are one of the very lucky ones in the husband department and it makes me so happy for you!

(Not that he isn't lucky, too!)

Brittany said...

OK...I totally remember you guys from those days...14 years, that's amazing! I love you guys--I think it's fabulous.

De Oliveira's said...

Congratulations. 14 years! Cool!

SuperCoolMom said...

You are gorgeous! I had a hard time giving up the 80's too - best era ever (except maybe the 50's).

Happy Anniversary to you both!

Lorena said...

I'm with Shally...I had orange hair in the 80's because of Sun-In. I just couldn't understand why the blond girls had all of the fun!

Anyway, love the picture, but you look just as beautiful now...not fair!

Jenibelle said...

I sure miss those days of perms, curlers and aqua net. You look like a country western diva, that's not a bad look!!!!!

Nice thing is that you are still really pretty, time has not marched it's way across your face. (like it has mine)

Anderson Zoo Keepers said...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I realize I'm a few days late, but it's the thought that counts right? And you had great hair. I had the claw - which should have been outlawed along with the mullet. Yours is a much better 80's do.

Nortorious said...

You look hot. Bring back the 80's hair.

Abs said...

Happy Anniversary! Very cute picture.
