The Count Down Begins (officially)

My new sister-in-law assured me that at 20 days to go till the wedding time would fly, and fly so fast that I’d wish that there would be more time to prepare. Sunday there are 20 days to go and I’m sure hoping she’s be right!  In the meantime, though I thought an introduction would at least fill the time.

            To begin, here is a brief (pictorial) history:

Jonathan David Taylor was born July 11, 1988 in Ann Arbor Michigan (yeah, that's right, Ann arbor). 

From the outset he was marked for brilliance

and he grew

and grew

and grew

and grew

until he was all growed up

and until the great day in January 2010 (the exact date is debatable) when he met Ann, who had meanwhile been growed up herself. 

Lauren Ann Elizabeth Fowler was born May 2, 1989 in Athens Georgia.

She was an angel

she was daddy's little girl 

but most of all, she was a bear

a very bare bear (aka "nature bear)

she was even an adventure bear

until she was growed up too

and when they met, well, it was magic and since then many magically things have happened:

Stephen left on his mission in February (could only find pre-mish photos, totally stole from Tracy-thanks!)

Eleanor Marie Fowler, "Ellie belly" was born

Ann graduated from SVU

Ashlyn & Miles were married

And as for David & I, “The Best is Yet to Come”
