Seven Years
If you had told me ten years ago that I would be married to Jessie Canon (who ten years ago was dating my best friend) and that we would live in Seattle and have a son together, I would not believe it. I never wanted to have a long term serious relationship before I had established myself as a successful professional in a big city. But I’ll be damned if I didn’t start dating this guy when I was 18, and I haven’t been able to get rid of him!
Here we are in late 2001. Before we both got fat.
2002. Still not fat.
2003. Getting fat…..oddly that correlates with us living together.
2004..thinner and happier. Thank you zoloft!
2005. Yeah, yeah. That whole wedding thing happened in 2005, but we did other stuff too…like Jessie bachelor party that we all threw for him.
2006. Our last day on the east coast and SO HAPPY to be leaving. Both of us have bad hair.
2007, we were no longer a couple, but a family.
2008. Both still a little chubby, but coming to terms with it.
I realize that in the bigger scheme of things that 7 years is merely a drop in the bucket, but it is a very long time for me. I’m only 25 years old and I’ve found the love of my life. I find it comforting that I didn’t have to spend precious years of my youth going from loser to loser to find a prince among turds.

That icky doll. That picture was taken at Jim and Tina’s. Tina says that she is afraid of baby dolls, but she has that icky thing always sitting there. It’s really old and dusty and the hair is matted and half gone. I think the reason she has it is because she says that doll’s eyes scare her and this is one of those dolls that has eyes that roll back in their head….but I think it makes it look all the more freaky….and dolls don’t really bother me.
