flashback while looking forward

When I posted some of the pictures from our photo session with Melanie from mphotography, I mentioned that I look shockingly similar to my mother in one of the pictures. No one spoke up. Either in my defense or to contradict me. So for today's Flashback Friday, I'm going to dust off one of my parent's wedding pictures.

Bill & Ellie's wedding

The picture on the left was taken in 1975, when my mom was 30 years old. The picture on the right was taken this year, WHEN I AM 30 YEARS OLD. Other than the obviously different hair and my mother's much nicer cheek bones, you have to admit that we look a lot alike.

Cmon! Someone back me up here!

This post ink back to both Tia's Flashback Friday and Alicia's Friday Photo Flashback posts. If you're ever looking for a post idea for Fridays, check out these two fun blog carnivals and their awesome hosts.

  1. wow I think you look a lot like her! Thats awesome. I don't look anything like my mother, I look more like my dad. I don't have any pictures of me and my mom together, now that I think about it.

    So glad that you posted. I love your pictures :)

  6. Just returned home this morning so have just read numerous of your blogs. That was a great blog on remembering your Dad and sharing who he was and the great influence he had on you. Love the wedding picture of your folks too. You do look like your Mom but I guess I hadn't thought about it. I love your new family pictures! Also love your new hair cut. You look super cute. Love the story of Simon and the bathroom. I'm sure it won't be the last time. He certainly did well to hold it ... especially stopping "mid stream" to run to the bathroom!! Now that is incredible! Looking forward to talking to you all. Love, Mom
