Marriage and Age

by Jerri Ann

This post is more about me and introducing me a little more than it is about anything actually material involving marriage.  Well, unless you count the fact that what I’m giving you is stuff from the years of previous marriages.  With that, I’ll start with a photo of myself as that shows you how I looked while married for the first time.  I was in the midst of getting my Bachelor’s in Education and it was an extremely emotional time for me.  My father’s main goal for me before he died was to ensure that I had the proper funds to finish college.  Otherwise, I doubt I would have ever even tried. 

But, as I graduated, I was in the throws of my first marriage and I give you…1991…

1991

I don’t actually see any photos that were taken exactly during my second marriage but I see a few that were made with months of that marriage, watch me change…watch me grow..watch me become depressed…..

 1995

I’m not sure why I’m looking away from the camera nor why I have such big hair, but….moving right,

I take you to marriage number three, I had lost some weight but the end product was a deeply depressed person…

And, finally, I give you some photos of when it was my depression started to lift.  My weight was still an issue but if you can’t see the happy beaming through my eyes, then you just never really saw the sadness in my eyes in some of the photos above…..

I give you…..2002

And, with that, you should surely see that I am obviously more happy..but I am obviously gaining weight rapidly.  As it turned out, I was pregnant in this photo….

That was something made me so much more incredibly happy that it is hard to describe.  I’ve mentioned before that my mother made a statement when I was headed to the hospital to be induced with Walker that "she had never seen me happy until that day".  I was truly happy.  But that wasn’t much of a testament to me as a child now was it?

Either way, if you want to read the other birthday posts and see more photos of me and my emotions, just follow the links here.
