You would think with all the days in the year available for someone to be born it wouldn’t be on your anniversary – right? I always thought that until my oldest son was born on our 10th anniversary. Right smack on the day. Here I am right after his birth. (It was after his birth that I lost all my weight!)
So today that tiny baby turns 13 and we have been married 23 years. I really don’t feel old enough to have been married 23 years but that’s what the calendar says. Here’s our wedding picture – pure late 80’s to be sure. You can see that I was an average size when I got married. I took that size for granted and even then thought I probably should be smaller. However, 10 years later I longed for that average sized woman to come back!
So on this my oldest son’s 13th birthday I’d like to wish him a happy birthday. And to my hubby John – Happy Anniversary. I can’t imagine life without either one of them. Diane
Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to your son.

I too got married in the later half of the ’80s! My dress was very similar to yours!
Have a great day!

I was at a friend’s house one time and she had her wedding picture on the wall. She had the SAME dress as I did! That was funny to see.
Happy Happy!

How many years were you overweight as I know you have been maintaining for 10 years or so now??

I started gaining right after we got married. When we had been married 3 years I got pregnant with my 1st daughter and gained 75 pounds. Then I never lost it and kept gaining. So all in all I was obese or morbidly obese for almost 10 years. I’ve just started my 13th year of maintenance.
Double happy wishes to you and your family!

Happy birthday to your son and happy anniversary to you!
I had to chuckle a bit as I read this because I knew where it was going when you mentioned birthday and anniversary together. Of course, the more children you have, the more likely this is.
My wife and I didn’t have to wait though. Our first son was born on our first anniversary, at almost the same time we were married. I don’t know that we have had an anniversary since.

Happy Birthday to your son and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !!! Your wedding looks perfect to me- maybe because I was married in 1981 and 80’s style for weddings therefor seems perfectly normal . Interesting coincidence- I was pregnant with my son on our 10th anniversary and that fact just totally overshadowed the 10 year mile marker. May you have a wonderful day of celebration !

We had our third child the day after our anniversary so at least we were able to have a nice dinner the night before she was born.
By the way… you look fabulous!!

Diane, that weight served its purpose. You wouldn’t be the amazing woman you are today, without having traveled the journey you have traveled to get here.
