Childhood Experience

Sarah reminded me of this essay that I wrote at some point...I think college.  Going through some boxes, it appeared!  Good memories!



Everyone needs a good laugh...

and everyone needs to be humbled every now and then...
1st Grade...missing my front tooth (Tooth #E actually!)  I'm pretty sure Sarah has a school picture with this shirt on too.
 
Funny...I remember having friends in 2nd grade, but you wouldn't guess it by the picture!  PERM!!!  Sarah and I loved this outfit - the sleeves rolled up to show the blue flowers and with shorts to match!
 
3rd grade - pretty sure that was my best attempt at doing my "wave" bangs.  That was one of my favorite shirts for the longest time.  My dad and I went shopping while Sarah went to a church youth group party one Saturday.  The jeans we bought to go with it were way too big, but they had the blue flower accents on them too!

4th grade - turtle neck and elderly sweater...what can I say?  The retainer was a nice touch of bling!
 
5th Grade at the new elementary school.  If I remember right I had a couple vests that I loved to wear.  Awesome.  I started ortho appliances/head-gear in 3rd grade and then wore braces till 7th.  It was one of the best investments ever made by my parents!

 
6th grade - Also a favorite shirt, I think bought on one of our trips to Arkansas to visit my Grandparents.
I guess this just shows that I have always been a big nerd!  Hope you got a good laugh!

As I'm still making my way through boxes and trying to get organized, I came across this picture.  I'm sure there are many similar pictures - me with Grandpa at various events - plays, show choir concerts, band concerts, sporting events.  I'll always remember my Grandpa and Grandma as being so supportive and playing an active role in my life!

Spa Day!

Spa day was a success!  This year I got a massage, facial, and manicure!  I went for something new, shatter on my nails! 
 
Spa treatments were followed by Cheesecake factory!  The whole day was amazing!

Go IU!


Saturday was a beautiful day for a football game!




IU vs. Illini





 
Once it was obvious that IU wasn't going to pull off a win, many people left.  We took the opportunity to sit on the opposite side of the stadium in the shade!   It was soooo much more enjoyable!


And we even got some cushion for our seats!
 
We enjoyed a beautiful Saturday in Bloomington!
