Nine Years Ago Yesterday ...
Jeff and I were married!! It really doesn't seem like it has been that long, which is a good thing, and yet we've both aged SO much!!
What is MORE interesting (I think), is our wedding party -- what has happened to them and if we are still in touch.
From left to right:
Maddie: married now for several years, just officially adopted her husband's two teen children; now pregnant with her first child.
Jim: No Clue. Lost touch, and he has a common name, so we can't find him.
Vici: went on to have two girls, Madi who is 7 and just was part of her first play, and Alli, who is half-a-year younger than Parker. She is now pregnant ("surprise!!") with a third girl.
Brad: No Clue. Lost touch, attempts to reconnect have failed.
Shelli: my sister; moved to two other jobs, and is now in Tennessee. She's pursuing her certification to be a scuba diver.
David: went on an across the country movie trip, without telling anyone but his sister -- she is currently working legal aid in Afghanistan, and he and she visit frequently. He is working at a food delivery place.
Me/Jeff.
Ryan: Got into and finished med school, and is now a resident up north in neurology. He and wife (girlfriend at time of our wedding) moved up there together. We suspect children once his residency is complete.
Heather: Has been married and divorced, and continuing to working at JCPenney's as an inventory supervisor during a night shift.
Stephen: Converted to catholicism, got married, just had first baby. Finding success in writing/editing for a gaming magazine.
Maelanie: Married soon after we did to another Lobby friend, became vegetarian, converted to 7th Day Adventist, and currently has no kids (originally wanted kids before 30, don't know current plans). She is a counselor at a Christian-based pregnancy support center.
Phil: Completed his Masters, moved to San Francisco, came out, and is now happily living and dating.
Jenna: Jeff's sister; graduated high school, went to college, switched colleges, switched back and moved in with boyfriend, graduated, got accepted to same college for grad school, got engaged, will be married in the Spring.
