Ode to the Single Days

Yes, I know two posts - one day. I'm awesome!
That, or I've got some time on my hands this afternoon.

One afternoon, I was trying to create more space on my computer.
How a person like me runs out of space on their computer
is beyond me - I email, blog (occasionally)
watch LOST, and that's about it. Anyway, I was going through all my pictures,
most of which encompass the last three and half years,
and I found the most wonderful thing:
Pictures of Eric.
Old pictures of Eric.
Pictures of Eric before he knew I existed.
Glory!
I thought I should blog about this, but only to be fair, I threw in some old ones
of me.
Enjoy this wonderful trip down memory lane!

Fresh out of high school, this was my going away party right before
I would move to Bend.

I'm not sure what year this was, but I do know that it was a birthday
and I do know I was forced to hold that pineapple over my head
while a group of Brazilian musicians sang me Happy Birthday. Santa Fe, NM August 2003
One of the most memorable dates I've ever been on.

Well I hope you either feel all warm and fuzzy on the
inside or are getting a kick out of some of the
hair choices Eric and I made.

As promised, here are pictures of the remodel.
