October 13th...

I thought I would give anyone who still reads this blog a few laughs...

Ten years ago (yesterday) was Friday, October 13th and I had one pretty HOT date...

or so I thought, I guess you can decide for yourself. =)

I took these pictures from a little scrapbook that I made for Matt when he graduated from high school!

Yup, they pretty much scream Y2K!!!

... and it's cracking me up!

It's sort of a love-hate relationship when I look back on these pictures. I certainly don't remember looking like this (the hate part), but I love the memories and thoughts they bring back!

I took a few pictures this year on Wednesday the 13th and they look a little different...

#51 is our nephew Riley and he's an 8th grader at Talmadge Middle School!

His football team was playing Matt's alma mater so we headed over for a great game of blue vs. blue...

I didn't get a picture of me and my date, but I did snap a few of him with another girl...

Ah, I love them!

It's been a good ten years! Thanks for the date a decade ago, babe! Maybe in another ten years we can chaperone a Homecoming Dance on Friday the 13th!!!

And I must say,

I still think he makes a pretty HOT date!

Thanks for A & W, Babe! ;)

Perfect Moments...

Sometimes I just can't help but think about how perfect my little family is...

I love them SO much!!!

... and I think they feel the same way about each other...

A couple weeks ago I took Madi to the park in the early evening and Matt came and joined us when he got home from one of his appointments...

We could have stayed there forever... in theory.

In reality, Matt couldn't stand up anymore and we needed to go eat dinner, but it was the best 30 minutes we had all day!

I love that Madi is looking at her Daddy for approval in everyone of these pictures. I hope she always looks at him like this...

He is just the highlight of her day!

And this would be her screaming, "Mooooommmmmaaaaaa" from across the park...

So I came running.

What can I say,

she's still an only child! =)

... and I think she's a pretty perfect one at that!

**Disclaimer**

Although I used the word "perfect" a few times, I'm well aware of the truth. These pictures have captured perfect moments, but I'll admit... no one in my family is perfect! ;)
