I promised pics, and since my shoulder is all jacked up today- I dug out the old albums and found some for you- here we go:

May 1983:

(see if you can spot me...)

Aug 1993:

June 1994:

Aug 1995:

Nov 2007:

July 2008 (me, 31 pounds lighter)

(Siggy a zip will follow shortly so you can play along)

I apologize for the gap in years, I lost a TON of pictures in a move.

Fun pics!

And congrats on the tenacity to lose 31 lbs!

So far, I haven't found the motivation to do what it takes...

Thank you. I took a paper route for about 3 months, and that helped a lot.

You grew up!

That's great! Seeing pics of you through the years. What fun, thanks for sharing those.

Too bad you lost many pics. Any chance relatives might have negatives so you can get some back?

I did grow up!

This first thing I noticed was my weight gain from 1994 to 1995. I went through a bad breakup with my girlfriend (in the 1994 picture) and I did a lot of partying with my high school friends over the summer of 1995 to help forget things. Lesson learned kids: drinking does not help your pain, it only hides it

As for the negatives, I have a whole ton of them. The problem is at the time we were using the Advantix camera (you can have portrait, wide, or panoramic pictures all on the same roll of film) and the negatives were not cut, but rather rolled back into the film shells. I would have to gamble and guess which ones were from the 1996-1999 era (or find someone with a darkroom and actually crack those film shells with them in the dark to find them.)

Totally cool pics, Kris!

I'm guessing that is you in the second row (counting the coaches row), second from left?

You have a very handsome, happy family. What great smiles!

Congrats on losing so much weight. I'm due for a tune-up myself

Rock on!

Well, someday, if you find you have absolutely nothing to do.....lol

But at least you have them if you want them!
