singular.
From what I gather, the whole concept behind TBT is to post a photo from back in the good 'ole days and then reminisce and smile as you think about how skinny you were back then or what was I even THINKING with that haircut or thank Heaven I didn't end up marrying THAT guy.
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that last one considering what I am about to write about. (Evan, that was just an example for other people. Not me.)
So my friend Jessica decided to start a weekly series on her blog The Mom Creative to share her throwback stories and for others to link up theirs. I'm always looking for a fun bandwagon to jump on, so let's do this thing.
Travel back with me for a moment to the year 1999. I was fifteen, I had long hair, and I had recently met my future husband.
Do you see him? Ignore the loud mouth princess singing in the foreground and take a look at the guy in the wizard hat scowling at her. Yup, you betcha. That's the father of my children right there. Funny thing is that I'm usually the one shooting a similar look his way now.
This was the beginning of my love affair with theater and I suppose it was a part of the beginning of my future marriage as well, unless you count the fact that at the moment this photo was taken I was likely either dating the dude playing the knight who knocks up his (fictional) girlfriend, or the minstrel who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket who ended up taking me to prom, but also ended up cheating on me so I dumped him after the dude in the wizard hat ratted him out and promptly swooped in as my rebound guy and then stuck around year after year until he had convinced me to marry him and bear him three children.
Funny how life works, isn't it? :)
Can't say I blame him, really. My waist was teeny tiny and the girls still hadn't felt the cruel effects of gravity and breastfeeding. The good 'ole days indeed.
Happy #TBT.
