Way back When-sday!

Hooray for Wednesdays! I love having a reason to bring around my old pictures!!!! I went back and fourth as to what picture to put up today, and wound up settling on this one. This is Todd and I in July of 1997. This was right after we got back from a trip to New York. The very same trip where we started dating! We'd gone out to the East coast with marching band to play several parades out there. It was a BLAST! We made so many memories at the very start of our relationship! And since we were together every single day on the trip, it was really hard to come home and go our separate ways! We did manage for the rest of the summer to spend time together EVERY day. It was such a good feeling to finally be a couple. This is what I'd wanted for years. He didn't go there, because I was dating his best friend for the 2 years before that. But, once we did officially become a couple, everything just fit. Everything was right. And we've never looked back since!!!!
If you're trying to figure out how old we were in this picture, I was 15, just one month shy of 16, and He would have been. . .17, just 6 months shy of 18.
