flashback fridays – Page 3

halloween, 1997.

fred & wilma flintstone.
the first halloween we dressed up, together.

dusty & i were living in seoul, south korea.
we were in charge of planning an adults-only halloween party
for our branch {church} there.

{we took polaroids of all the couples!}

…i made our costumes, by finding all the supplies in local markets,
hand-sewing, and hot glue.

i made a stencil & used spray paint to make husbands fred flintstone shirt.

i think i’m about to lose my wig in the picture…

and, i’m six months pregnant with our first baby girl, only,
we didn’t know if it was a boy or girl…

our kids will be 10,

i took a little break from my ‘flashback fridays,’

when i was sitting in this exact same spot,
trying to pick a url name for my blog,

i lived near them, and my mom & i spent years living with them,

my mom cared for them once they became elderly.

my grandpa rocked.

i remember spending so much time with him, by his side,
in his gardens. between gardening and life,

he was always ready to share his latest joke or

poetry with those we crossed paths with.

nowadays, my kids are often found

reading his poetry journals, and sharing his humor.

April 1997- Jane and I had been living in Korea for a year and a few months, teaching English at this time.

five-and-a-half years ago…

my little man, turned two.
april, 2005.

he was obsessed with thomas trains at the time,
so it was only appropriate that we celebrated choo–choo style!

i spent my entire afternoon making that cake,
and i totally thought it was the bomb.

now looking at pictures, and knowing all the current trends,
i think, wow…i could have done a lot better!

oh well. he was two, he’ll never know!
crazy how fast time goes.

notice kiana,
