Happy 18th Wedding Anniversary

HAPPY 18TH ANNIVERSARY TO ME N HUBBY
Yes, we got married on Friday the 13th :)
at a justice of the peace in Hillsville, Virginia
with a red headed, red bearded viking hangin on the wall behind the JP, we tried hard, VERY HARD not to crack up during the ceremony!
sorry, polaroid photos never turn out very good, wish I had taken a photo of that viking on the wall!!
my brother always said I would get married in a t-shirt and jeans, he wasn't far off, t-shirt and jean shorts!

It was a very rainy day in Virginia too, we lived in NC, decided to get hitched on the way back to OH to see my nephew who was born the 11th, so happy 18th birthday to my nephew Jordan

Went to see him as soon as we hit Ohio, my very first nephew!!! 
gosh it doesn't seem like he can be 18 already! Where has the time gone?

to celebrate how about a pie instead of cake? we do love some pecan pie
