Thirty-one Years Ago...

My parents' lives were changed forever. My father reminded me of this with a text message this morning...

"This day, several decades ago, a child was born. Now I sit here wondering how on earth she ended up in Colorado? Oh well, you didn't turn out so bad. Good thing you took after me! Happy 50th birthday. Oh wait... that would be me. You're just a punk kid! Love you, Dad"

My parents were high school sweethearts who got married right out of high school and had me at the ripe old age of 19. Here I am, now 31, expecting my first child. I can't imagine how freaked out they must have been at that age! I can certainly tell you that I'm shaking in my boots.

So... thirty-one years ago, my parents welcomed this into their lives.
It's amazing how life comes full circle. And, just because it's my birthday and I can... here are a few more pics rocking some amazing hair styles in the early years.

^Pretty darn proud of that outfit if I do say so myself...

^I look exactly like one of my brothers in this pic.

^This is the face of a 10 year-old pissed off about her Annie hair-do.

^Fast forward to days after my 30th birthday...

Have a fabulous day, everyone! I know I'm going to try!
