This Kid.

You know what he said to me last night? He said: "I was just thinking about how making out with a girl at a Star Wars movie is every nerd's fantasy."

Well, I'm glad I could make at least one of your dreams come true. Cause heaven knows you've made one or two of mine come true. 

Doesn't his blue steel face just make you want to kill yourself? 

How did I ever get so lucky? 

30 Days of Photographs. Day 5

Some of you may remember, most of you will not remember that 100 years ago I started this 30 days of Photographs. {Back in April to be exact is when I have designated as 100 years ago. FYI, consult your calendars and make necessary adjustments.} Back in May was when I posted Day 4. I said it wouldn't be 30 consecutive days, but even this is embarrassing. Sorry to my millions of avid fans who hang onto my every word. :) I have been busy this summer. But now that the school year has started back up I have much more time to blog. And I am back with a fury vengeance. Ready to blog about hundreds of things that inspire me.

With that said, lets move right along to Day 5.  

Day 5: Most embarrassing photo. 

This may or may not be THE MOST embarrassing photo of me that I could find, but while the jury is still out on that, this picture is one that I found to be quite embarrassing and worthy of the Day 5 Spot. 

First of all, don't let the date fool you. I took a picture of a picture and my current camera put that date on this photo. It was really taken a LONG time ago. I am going to make an educated guess 1997. I think I am pretty darn close. That baby in the photo is 14 years old now. I may be off by a few months but you know... 

So, how hilarious is this look? Was I like trying to be borderline goth or something? I was 12 in 1997. You know those 12 year old phases… And scrunchy bracelets were SO in back then so get off my back. :)

This was at the airport, sending my Grandparents off on a mission to South Africa.
I am the one on the far right, in case you don't know what a goth is or what a scrunchy bracelet is. :)

What a dork. A dork with fabulous red hair, I must say.Oh, and a doggie tag.

Embracing the Camera. And flashback 1990.

Today I am embracing the camera with my sisters.... All 5 of them. (Technically one is adopted, but we are sisters regardless of DNA... Ya'll have one of those too right?)

I want to participate in Embrace the camera even though I don't have kids. That is allowed. {I checked.}

These are my sisters and I last summer at Cherry Hills. I highly recommend that little hot spot. 

L to R. Adopted sis. Ten year old Sis. Sports sis. Soccer Sis. Music sis. Me

Like how we all have nick-names like the Spice girls? Well, that's how I refer to the sisters mostly on this blog.

L to R. Soccer Sis. Adopted Sis. Ten year old sis. Sports sis. Music sis. Me

And someday when I have kiddos I will embrace the camera with them. 

Do you know why? Because some of my most cherished photographs from my childhood are the ones where mom and dad were in. I love seeing them in their younger years, thin and energetic. I love mother sporting all the hair-do's and fashions of the 80's. I love seeing dad's big guns and his retro suits from the 70's that he was still wearing in the 80's. He was cute. {Still is.}

I want my kids to see me sporting the good ol fashions of my time and seeing me in my younger years too. I am fully ready to embrace that camera! 

Check out these beauts... parents embracing the camera.

 This one could be, could be my favorite of mother. Besides the fabulous Hair, makeup and nails check out the pants? Oh, is my brother blocking them? Don't worry... Here you go:

I seriously, no kidding aside, wish she still had these pants. I would be all over them. 

First complete family picture. Probably Nov. 1990

Easter Sunday. Probably 1993.Maybe 1992.

And I totally just took a picture of these pictures. Cause I am way too lazy to figure out how to use a scanner. Ya I know. Don't Judge.
