Memory Lane

Hey did you know that Rob and I are getting married?  Ha.  I didn't want to be that girl.  You know.  That girl who can only talk about herself... about her kids, her cat, her wedding.  Hello.  Look at me!

But you are the one reading the blog, not me.  So look at me!

So like I mentioned above, Rob and I are getting married.  These are the invitations:

Look at those two love birds!  I love old pictures and have been sorting through my collections of Rob/Jessica pictures for wedding ideas. Come back in time with me:

2008: When we first starting dating, we kept it a secret from our friends.  

Come on, isn't it obvious?

My first, and disappointing, trip to the Alamo.  I really had no idea it would be so small.

New Years Eve 2009!

Summers in Austin.  I can still feel that thick heat.  

Did you know that I used to keep a towel in my car so I could keep it under my shirt when driving around?  You know, to avoid sweat stains. 

2009: Arriving in Ireland.  I still remember those weird guys on the bus.  You can see the tights in the background.

Driving in Ireland.  Notice anything weird?

Jason/Rob/my mouth.

July in Austin.  Town Lake on the 4th.  

What I remember most about Texas: Sunburns and cheap beer.

Date night!  I remember this night after a memorable weekend in Houston.  

Kirk would know what I'm talking about.

Rob's tiny apartment in Austin.  Again, I can still feel the muggy hot of July.  

All dressed up.

Colorado 2009

Lake Powell 2009:

Grand Canyon 2009:

California 2009:

2009 is as far as I could make it today. 

 This stage seems to be distinct - Stage 1, if you will: pre-Oregon years.  The pre-commitment, pre-obligation, pre-long distance stage.  We had no idea what was next... kind of exciting, kind of scary.  

All these Texas pictures are making me hot.  I'm going to go have a shower and a Miller Lite now.
