My friend Toby has the theory that all cute babies turn into ugly adults.
But seriously, look at this bumpkin!
(Some people say I am photogenic. I say that I was the subject of my dad's portrait hobby from the day I could feasibly sit up on my own.)
Anyway. This photograph came from a mini-scrapbook of sorts that I took with me to college. I took a developmental psychology class my senior year in high school, and one of the projects was to create a "story of your life" kind of book and chronicle what developmental stage you were and and yada yada. We had material up until our high school years, of course, but the rest of our life we could make up as we see fit.
This is how I, at the tender age of seventeen, predicted Early Adulthood:
Age 17: Graduate High School and Attend Indiana University
Age 21: Graduate from IU with a degree in Advertising. Meet soon-to-be-hubby.
Age 23: GET MARRIED. JUNE 15, 2007. Honeymoon in Italy.
Age 27: Have first baby -- a boy, Landon Scott, October 5, 2009
Age 29: Have another baby -- Julia May, July 12, 2012
Age 31: Job makes for move to Chicago
Age 34: Start my own advertising firm
Holy shit. I'd better get a move-on if I am to be married by June!
However, I did go to Italy, so what's up now, huh?!
Also, what's up, blondie. Jesus.
