2/13/11 My Valentine & Post Fill Day 5

*Portion of Post Deleted

On another note...we went to a Valentine's Day couples party at one of my GF's houses (old neighbor's of ours that now live about 30 min. away). She had about 75 people and a spread of food everywhere (and a chef's station with made to order crab cakes and different pasta dishes). We had a blast and I did fine with tiny amounts of food during the evening (tortellini, cheese hunks, chicken dish, and even meatballs).

She asked each couple to send pics of themselves during their dating years (fun idea), which she printed up and had on display boards. As expected when anyone sees old pics of my DH, his got the most reaction from everyone who knows him...here's why (enjoy!)...

Here we are in 1978 shortly after meeting...

A few years later...

The giant glasses were in...and barely a moustache now (No, not on me!...I was busy moving toward the 'big hair')...

And here's how he came back from Geology field camp one summer in college...I didn't recognize him when he got back (all the Geology majors had beards...well, except the women). And OMG what was I thinking with the perm?!

And here's our engagement picture as we were finishing college (and why my kids say 'You married Sasquatch!'). Our friends last night were calling him 'Mountain Man' (and asking me who my 'first husband' was LOL).

Here I am ready to go last night in my Valentine pink.
Here I am with my Valentine (and I had to leave Tucker in...looks like ghost cat!)...DH needs to get better at lining up timer pics and remembering he's a lot taller than me LOL.

And here I am at the party...with some friends...that have obviously had too much to drink, as you can see by their fuzzy faces. And why do I always pick short friends? I'm an amazon compared to my petite friends and the 4" heels didn't help.

I hope this fill works wonders for you - sounds like it is. It is weird having to relearn everything after losing restriction, isn't it? Not like post-op when swelling made the mind more onboard with the mechanics. Nonetheless, as always, so wise and so in tune! I hope the reflux does not cause any issues but it certainly sounds like you've got that in check, too. Awareness sure is key!

Love the photos. So cute! Love the field camp story and pic. All in my class were a mess, too - fun times!!

Love it!!! I'm the tallest of my friends too, I'm always squatting in pics! Your husband definitely got more handsome with age!

Sounds like you are handling the fill well, but of course you would. Love all the pictures. Your valentine party outfit is so cute.

Glad to hear how you work through your reflux issues. That's been a big deal to me this time and I'm doing many of the same things. New ideas are so helpful.
