A Long Time Coming

After six years of friendship, Ti and I were married five years ago. Almost to the date! (Dec. 27, 2002).



This is one of our engagement photos. Funny story about it: I have a fabulously talented friend, Amy, who had a photographer acquaintance that took our pictures. When he first sent me the photos he let me know how he went ahead and did me a favor without my even having to ask. He photoshopped the beauty mark on my chin OUT of the picture! Totally offended!!! Especially since I was as certain then as I am now that my beauty mark adds a unique quality to my look. Needless to say, we did not use him for our wedding. . . oh, and Amy photoshopped it back in!!

My other favorite story about this photo is that my soon-to-be sister-in-law called right after she saw it to let me know that my nose looks huge. ok, that STILL makes me giggle. Some might find that more offensive than the beauty mark issue, but not me. I'm still put off by that photographer!


Like the introduction says, we have moved three times and lived in three different places during our time together. And I would not have our marriage any other way. Ti has taken me on adventure after adventure always with foresight and always putting our family first!

So stay tuned for more posts and thanks for visiting!

awesome! fun to see your new family web log. i love the pic- horrifying that someone photoshopped your beauty mark.
p.s. do we really need to do word verification and pre-approved commentary here? (:

ok, i love to censor. actually, I love to be able to have some outlet for my control issues! So un-american but so fun!!
I heart word verification. It makes me laugh!! I didn't even know the blogs require it to make a comment! I'm still keeping it though for the reason mentioned above but puleeeze keep commenting!!
blog hugs, (that was for you pat!)

HOORAY!It's great you have a new family blog. The picture is beautiful. The nerve of that photographer to remove your beauty mark, without even asking! Good thing you had a friend who was able to fix your photo. I'm so looking forward for future updates.

How freaking united colors of benetton cute are you two? So wrong! Nice smiles!

And what a looney toon that guy was for photoshopping a beauty mark! I make mine darker with black eye liner!haha

So, yeah, you two hooking up was one of the finer moments in my byu-hawaii experiences of watching people hook up from the sidelines. I always though he was way mellow and cool all hanging out at his desk job in the aloha center and I thought you were the coolest girl before I even met you! You just had a sassy walk to you and great hair!haha I shook my head with many a byu-h hookups in my time, but with you two kids, it was like "Elizavita for the win!"mwah!
