We had known each other like 6 months. His mom took this picture. The three of us had dinner at Lonnie's favorite restaurant (The Terrace...I'll never forget!). It was the second time I met her. I super love looking back on this picture because it makes me feel all of the feelings I was feeling then. I remember all of it. We were crazy in love, I was oh so nervous because I wanted his mom to like me (love me). We were "talking" about moving here but mostly just crazy in love. This picture makes me think about the beginning of us. I love remembering that time. I was a few months away from finishing school and he had recently completed his fellowship. The world was at our fingertips. He was turning 33 and I was 23. BABIES. Great memories.
PS. Have y'all ever even seen a picture of Lonnie with ZERO facial hair?
PPS. My husband and my baby look very similar, no?

Yes! B has his eyes! I didn't know there was a 10 year difference in age! It works well for you guys!
ReplyDeleteI have always thought b and lonnie look so much alike, but even more so now!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat memories! !!!
Aww this is so sweet!! Lonnie sure does look different with no facial hair! I didn't realize you two are 10 years apart.. so are Anthony and I and actually met when I was 22 almost turning 23 and he was 32 almost turning 33, so very similar to you two! :) I love looking back on those first photos of Anthony and I too and remembering those early days of just being crazy inlove with no clue what the future held but believing it would hold eachother. And now I am going to go look at old photos!! ;)
ReplyDeleteBabies indeed!! I love it. And Lonnie with no facial hair!
ReplyDeleteBest post!! Yes, B and Lonnie do look so much alike!!
ReplyDeleteI so love looking back at pictures from the beginning of ANdy & I and relishing in all the butterflies in the stomach feelings I used to get. So fun.
And I knew there was an age gap, but I didn't realize 10 years. Lonnie robbed the cradle. Lucky guy. :)
Aww, look at you two! I love that you just knew he was the one. I did too with JJ and said to my best friend either the first time I met him or one of the first few times that I was going to marry him. So weird to think about that now! :)
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see a picture of B I think she looks oh so much like Lonnie! Every. Time.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you're 31 and he's 41! Not that that's old, obviously, but you both look about 25 to me!
Love this pic! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! My husband and I are 14 years apart, and I tease him that HE was just a baby when we met 10 years ago, even though he was older than me now. I love that you also think that of Lonnie. :)
