Throwback Thursday - Dating Days

This Saturday will mark 7 years since Jared and I 'officially' became a couple. Even though one could argue we were already exclusive before that, February 28th is still our special day that will always hold a piece of my heart. For this special edition of Throwback Thursday I dug deep into the archives of college pictures (a scary place to go, whew!) to find some hilarious cute embarrassing photos from our dating days. How in the world do these photos feel so outdated already?! It has not been THAT long since we were roaming the campus hand-in-hand... right?!

Many dates consisted of watching our tiny college's basketball team practically every weekend, while other times it was the big off-campus get togethers where I learned to love college football, surrounded by Buckeye fans ;)

There were hours upon hours spent in the computer labs "working on projects" but really we'd waste time on the computer's photobooth and try not to crack up in the middle of the library. Then when we were able to scrape up a little loose change, we'd venture off 40 minutes to the nearest Applebees with friends for half-price appetizers since it was really all we could afford.

And boy, did we love a good theme date or party. That certainly hasn't changed over the years!

I love that even though we grew up in the same general area, we had to drive almost 200 miles away to meet each other at college. Graduating college and coming home was a pretty easy transition for us, after all we loved all the same things and learned some new things together as well.

It's hard to believe so many years together have passed- it might be cliche, but it's so true that time flies when you're having a blast. I'm so glad things work out the way they're supposed to in life. I couldn't imagine life any other way! Thanks for letting me steal your sweatshirt, and for giving me a life full of laughter and fun.
