David and Dana...possible overkill

My hubby and I have been together since December of 1997. We had 9 whole years together before having Gabby, but our lives were not nearly so well documented back then. So in honor of our THIRTEENTH Valentine's Day together, here is our Pre-Baby pictorial history.

This is our FIRST cute picture together as a couple...February 1998, at On the Border in College Station with a bunch of college friends for my 22nd b-day.

Our first apartment! We had just moved in together into what I thought was THE NICEST and MOST LUXURIOUS apartment in North Dallas...August 2000


Happy New Year! Big family trip to Las Vegas; we had just gone to see Wayne Newton in concert...my grandpa treated us all! December 2000

Dinner at Mi Piaci for Erin's birthday (wearing one of my FIRST maternity outfits)...August 2006


And that's our lives before Gabby! I love seeing how we change through the years...some old pictures make we want to CRINGE, and others make me jealous of how cute my former self was! Our poofy hair cracks me up...I had some out of control BIG HAIR, and HOLY COW did David have a lot of hair back then! It was also funny when I discovered the large number of these pictures that came from Erin-centered events...I see the girl MAYBE once or twice a year, but I guess David and I tend to take cute pictures when she is around!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone...and especially to MY Valentine!

I LOVE THIS POST!!! That is so much fun!! In the luau picture, I thought it was Teri at first...you look just like her in that picture for some reason! Oh, and those Pulp Fiction costumes are AWESOME!!!! Okay, now I request a post of "pregnant with Gabby" pictures...I have never seen any of those! :-)

That is too funny...I was thinking the same thing about the number of photos from events with us. We need to up the frequency of those get togethers, by the way. Love seeing you guys change through the years. I remember meeting David for the first time in CS when I was there for a visit. Who knew, he would be the one (maybe you did at that time?).

We'll be in Dallas the weekend of Apr 11 for the Big D half marathon. So, let's get together so you can take some more good Dana & David pictures!

Chalna, I thought the same thing about that picture of me looking like Teri...probably because I am so much thinner in that pic! I'll see what I can dig up as far as pregnancy photos...there aren't too many, I was NOT a glowing, beautiful pregnant woman...I was fat, swollen, frumpy, and grumpy. Ha!

Erin, you have been with us through it all, it seems!! And yes, more frequent would be great. We really do need to get down to SA to see you one of these days. Excited for April!

The very first picture was at On the Border in College Station! I think I may have taken it!! Oh, and how about Chesney and Bob's reception. That was fun, except for I had bronchitis and I had brought Jason M. with me and my sister made him a huge plate of shrimp cocktail after finding our he was allregic to shellfish because she thought it would be funny. Those pics totally made me think if things I had not thought about in YEARS!! thanks for sharing!! -Amy
