Morgan, adding the graphics really made it special! It looks fantastic!

very cute!!

 

just a thought.. you might want to try to find some kind of fast-drying archival pen for signing instead of a sharpie - you can usually find them at scrapbooking stores or even places like Michael's or Hobby Lobby (sharpie's are great and fast drying, they're just not archival)

(but what will work really depends on the type of paper it's being printed on)

Mike was in the corps of cadets at Texas A&M where we both went to college. Their annual formal was 2 weeks after our first date. He already had a date, but he asked if I would go with him if he canceled that date. That was before we were officially a couple. Normally I'd feel bad to do that to the other girl, but I gave up my prom date in high school & he is now married to the girl he went with instead of me. So I felt like it was my turn.

OK, I'm getting all sappy thinking about our first few weeks together. We were at the gym doing situps together when he asked if I'd go to that formal with him. Afterwards we went to olive garden & he slipped & introduced me as his girlfriend. That's how we made it official. We went by my place afterwards & I showed him my closet of bridesmaids dresses & asked which one I should wear. He picked the silvery one because it was the color of his first car. 2 weeks later we were at the dance together & already crazy in love with each other. I can see it in that picture.

The hardest thing about our first month of dating was that we knew it was going to end. I was moving to north carolina & he wanted to go into the army. After a month together he showed up in my lab with a suit on & flowers & told me he wanted to move with me. So we put all our stuff in a UHaul & here we are 4 1/2 years later in north carolina as happy as can be super excited about getting married.

Bet you didn't know you'd unleash the sappiness in me by asking about that picture. We got pretty drunk at that party & when I got my role of film developed I saw a pretty funny series of pictures. One was me kissing him with my leg kicked up. The next was with my legs down & his kicked up.

My computer just crashed (I had planned to backup today) & I was really in a bad mood as I set on another computer eating lunch. I'm all warm & happy now.

Thanks for the tip. I will do that. Otherwise I'd be tracing over it every few years with a marker to make it last.
