As promised...
My 8th grade picture
and me now
Isn't it great that I learned how to smile for a camera? Oh, and look into the lens when a picture was being taken? Not to mention... learning that if I just learned to let my hair do its own thing, it would turn out so much better than it did when I tried the braid/crimp/curling iron approach back in the day. Oh, right, and the eyebrows... there are not words for how grateful I am to have found out about tweezers.

Oh dear, that is a great picture! We've all come such a long way since Jr. High! You've seen my old mullet, so you know.
I had to remove my last post because of a typo - I didn't want to cause more stress in your life, you little grammar Nazi : ) (So sorry about your job.)
So, for you looking so much like an E and Amy looking so much like a W, you two sure looked a lot alike at that age.
By the by, I noticed that you didn't ask for my translation services for the cruise (perhaps you heard about my Spanish skills...).
Any typos? Too bad - this is the best I've got.
Hehe... Kimmie, your mullet inspired me to show my ugly old (or, rather, young) self to the world. Isn't it great that Jr. High doesn't last forever?
And, Cindy, you crack me up! There is still time (and, I'm sure, room) for you to come on the cruise. My friend Michelle and I (she randomly comments on here as Pinky & The Brain) are going on an LDS singles cruise at the end of next month. Yes, I'm taking my possibly-by-then unemployed self and I'm leaving the country. You're totally invited! (In fact, the price has dropped to $509 for a 7 day cruise, so if you can come, you totally should!) And yes, isn't it funny, how much Amy and I looked alike? Thank heaven we have her, otherwise Kate and I would be the only brown-eyed girls on that entire side of the family!
I totally have a shirt that I currently wear made from the same fabric of your 8th grade shirt! Different style though. Oh, I love the current picture. Lovely!
Those are great pictures... considering that mine from the same year looks very similar.
Isn't it nice to see how much we change?
Have fun on your trip!
LOL! Oh, you're adorable!
I have the most beautiful cousin in the world!!!
Oooh, "adorable" and "beautiful"?!? Thank you ladies, thank you. Really, thank you... Now please run out and tell all the single men you know ALL ABOUT ME. (Well, the good stuff, anyway.) ;)
Laurie, I just want you to know that you are one of my favorite people that I've never met. Your pictures are fabulous, and you are a much braver woman than me. My junior high pictures scare even me. Oh the trauma of the hair deciding it wants to be curly . . . but I had to go on curling and feathering those bangs anyway! I will not give in to nature, damn it!
By the way, love the current 'do. (Um, not that I didn't thoroughly enjoy the 8th grade 'do, as well . . .) Your hair is beautiful!
I think you were beautiful then and you are beautiful now! Crimped, puffy hair was totally in style!

Oh, Kelsey... you're so cute. I love that you're reassuring my puffy 80's hair, even when I know that you probably weren't even walking/talking when I was in 8th grade. You're the cutest, sweetest thing. Thank you! :)
And Jami, thanks and right back at'cha. Next time I'm in UT, we need to have a gathering of The Feed so I can meet you. How fun would that party be?!?
