picture palooza

My baby (and when I saw baby, I mean 19 year old) sister moved into college this weekend. This makes me feel not only insanely old, but also ridiculously nostalgic.

So, I decided to flip through some old pictures of not only Dee Marie and myself, but also just random old pictures. I came to several realizations.

1) I am about twice the size I was in high school
2) I was too thin in high school
3) My hair has gone through way too many transformations
4) Some of my outfit choices were questionable to say the least.

Here are a few (like 30) of my favorites:

Dee & Me

because matching dresses were necessary...

Then I found Prom pics.. oh my.

Freshman Year 

Sophomore Year

Junior Year

the back of my dress Jr. year. it made up for the horrible hair.

And then... I may have cried when I saw how freakishly thin I was in the following pictures...

Then I found some plain old happy memories pictures too 

Hmm, I am realizing that this post may seem a little narcissistic since it features about a million pictures of me, but oh well., enjoy a trip down my memory lane :)
