The years of marriage.

    My wedding rehearsal in June of 1984.  I was large but still growing.

    Christmas of 1985.          I just found out I was pregnant. 1986

    Charity Ball in the early 90's.          On vacation at our MN cabin.

    A very tough time in my life.  I had just lost my father the previous summer and this picture was taken when my family and I were cleaning out my father's house after a long battle with his second wife.  We actually had to go to court to get the furnishings and beautiful things that were my mothers. 

    Fun on the trampoline.        I was about 270 pounds in these pictures. This was 1995.

    Rodeo 1997.  I was still in the 270's.      Newly divorced in the summer of 1999.  I still weighed 270 pounds and had not changed in years.  I have three children and now a full time as well as part time job to keep my family stable.
