Why I Don't Mind Turning 35

I've never much minded birthdays. Probably because my family always made such a big deal of them (and still does) so they're something to look forward to. I also think getting older should only be a problem if you're not accomplishing anything from the year before. So on the night before my birthday, here are some "Before" Pictures to show you that 15 or 25 may not feel as good as 35, and there's always time to make a positive change. No excuses!

 My 16th birthday. Obviously I was not "athletic" even then.

 College. I remember trying to get a good picture to send a pen pal (yes, we had those back then. The internet was barely invented in 1998!). I was so disappointed because I thought this dress made me look skinny, but not in the pictures!


When Chico was a puppy, 2007. I had this in a frame, but I made a label for it so I could cover my stomach! The only reason I can show this now is that it doesn't even feel like a picture of me. Chico is still adorable, though! 


I thought this dress looked GOOD! Why didn't anyone tell me it was a muumuu?! I had it in dark brown, too! 


On my wedding day.

And finally, a sneak peek of the "After" pictures so you know that Ugly Ducklings (or Couch Potatoes) can turn into Swans (or Runners).
