A Stroll Down Memory Lane

Happy Friday!

I got out of my last class early today, didn't have to work & Leo is at the vet all day; so I had a lot of free time on my hands, which led me to looking through old pictures!

Come take a stroll down memory lane with me while we look at a few random pictures I have never posted before!

A lot are from when Parker and I first started dating!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This picture is from the weekend before Parker and I started actually talking to each other.

I was in New Orleans with my best friend, Brooke, for the Color Run.

I remember talking to her in the car on the way there about what to do about the "Parker situation".

2 weeks later we went on our first date & the rest is history!!

That orange Emi Jay is the first one I ever gave Parker.

He has never taken it off!

The first flowers Parker ever gave me!

I love going through old pictures from time-to-time.

It helps me remember all of the amazing adventures Parker and I have had together & it makes me excited for all of our future adventures together!

We have experienced and accomplished so much together already

I met Parker in December 2012 at a bar by a crazy change of fate

(- my friends and I weren't suppose to go to that bar

- we were then suppose to leave an hour before Parker and I met, but I was driving and needed to stay a little while longer

- we just happened to go with a mutual friend that Parker decided to talk to while I was around

etc...)

That night reminds me of this quote:

"Sometimes I remind myself that I almost skipped the party, that I almost went to a different college, that the whim of a minute could have changed everything and everyone. Our lives, so settles, so specific, are built on happenstance."

-Anna Quindlen, Every Last One

I am so grateful I didn't skip the party that night!
