FRIDAY PHOTO FLASHBACK

I love taking pictures of my family, and I have so many from my pre-digital camera days! So, every Friday, I plan on scanning an old photo and sharing about it! I'm having so much doing this, so if you would like to join me, let me know so I could see your Friday Photo Flashback!

Yup..that's me! This was my Freshman year in High School...circa 1983-84! I went to the biggest school in the area! There were at least 4,000 student body! Can you imagine that?

I don't know why in the world I made that expression for my CHEERLEADING picture! Was I trying to look cool or was the sun in my eyes?? Wasn't I supposed to look "bubbly?" For those of you other "80's" gals, do you see those mini buttons on my shirt? Remember how cool those were? From what I can see, I have a Duran Duran button, but I can't make out what the other ones were! I wish I had kept them!! Ahh..the memories!

    Girl, you should be asleep! Just like me! I LOVE this photo of you!!! Do you keep in contact with any of the other cheerleaders?!? I had a minibutton that I am SO embarrassed to say I wore on my short sleeved purple denim jean jacket that said, "Under my clothes I am completely naked." Ok that was my favorite button. What was that about!?!?!?!?!?

    I love it...you've got the "I'm way too cool to be taking this picture" look! Seriously though...very pretty...even for an 80's picture!

    Aww...what a cute cheerleader. It's so funny to look at all those old photos and see what was considered cool back in the day. Like remember tight rolling your pants. What were we thinking?!! SO FUNNY! BTW...thanks for helping me with my marquee. I really like the way it turned out. Well...I need to get off my behind. Hope you have a good weekend.

    Cute hair...snicker, snicker, snicker..of course, I'm not showing old pics of myself so I guess I should stop snickering!
    I, too, went to a high school of 4,000 (in Virgina).

    As a child of the 80s myself, I remember all those fads. Best of all - big hair rocks!

    Love the hair, love the look, love the buttons! You were totally looking awesome. :) I'm also a survivor of the 80's. We've been Christians for almost the same amount of time.

    O.k., so I'm not going to admit that I was married with children (well, one child) in the 80's. Nope. Not admitting it. So I wasn't wearing little buttons with people's faces on it.

    I was wearing my son with his face throwing up all over my shoulder when I burped him...does that count?

    The buttons make me think of the charm necklaces...Ah the 80s...don't think there's another decade like it!

    Ha, did you hear what you just said? You were looking cool with that expression. IS THAT where your daughter gets it from? LOL! How many times has she posed with her "cool" face?

    You looked too cute Ms. Thing!
