date dash 1997

Carmen hates this picture.  "I look like I ate that guy." 


But not me. I love it. I love that Max will forever have a photo of his parents together at such a young age - 10 years before dating and marriage.


I love that I can remember hesitantly filling out my party pic order form at the Kappa house.   I was so nervous that one of the older girls would see it and tell Carmen just how big my crush on him was.


I love that I wore a blue and blue leopard-print scarf with a thick sweater and an ankle length skirt to a date party.  


I love that I couldn't pronounce Carmen's last name - and now it's mine.
