In Hawaii with my mom, one of my favorite pictures of the two of us.

My first official “date” with Val in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
I was head over heels for him, especially after he held me while we skated together.

Standing with Scott Weinger on location at Disney World for a
Full House
episode. This was the heaviest weight I'd been in my teen years and I wanted nothing more than to hide in my hotel room.

It was Dave Coulier who introduced us, but here we're with Bob Saget at another charity hockey game.

My bridal party! Left to right: Dilini (my BFF), Shelene (check out www.skip1.org), my super petite and oldest sister Bridgette, my cousin Mackenzie, and my practically twin sister Melissa (with brown hair/eyes) who is just eighteen months older than me.

Three months pregnant with Natasha. I'm cheering on Val and team Russia in the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan. They took Silver.
