Watching Time Flip By

My best friend gave me a silver photo album as a wedding gift. It's very pretty and is a single picture page book with a photo slot in the silver cover and stands upright like a picture frame. As we did did not have a huge amount of pictures - it was a small family event at my in-laws' house - there were many pages left empty.

I remember getting all the pictures back. Yeah, back in the day when we had to get pictures developed. I had fun arranging them in the book and then I was out of pictures. As I looked with dismay at all the blank slots, I decided that every year, we would have our picture taken on our anniversary and put them in the book. This is this year's pic:

It's very strange to flip through the book and watch yourself change. It's like Boom! Turn the pages and watch yourself age from 40 to 50. Or from 34 to 44 if you are the groom. It might be funny to do a 10 year slideshow.

And speaking of time passing, my dashboard says this is my 1000th post, but I know that's only partly true. They count half finished posts that you deleted or any post that you deleted. My guess is that my blog probably contains about 985 posts. But I'm not going to count them. It was bad enough counting from 40 to 50. Turn the page.

That's cool. A picture at each anniversary. I wish I had thought of that. It'd be interesting to see the past 24 years.

Jazz,
~~My hairstyle and color change, My Sweetie's hair recedes, and his glasses change. And sometimes I look fatter and thinner. It's pretty interesting.

Congrats on the almost 1000 posts. Your blog too is like snapshots over the years and must be fun to re-read.

LGS,
~~Sometimes when I look something up I'll stumble across an old post that will really amuse me.
