The bad part is I now look at the Young Girls in our ward and think wow they got serious style for their age. why couldnt we have that kind of style when we were younger. you dont supose one day they'll look back on their pictures and their Era and think of themselves as Ugly Teenagers. I dont think that possible they dress better then I do at 30. LOL Lucky kids. but nothing beat growing up in the 80's and 90's thats for sure. we were the coolest looking crowd ever alive.

I have mine in my head, but I think my parents have the actual photo. Red, freckle face. Mother cut bangs an inch long and huge smile with braces. Awesome. You were definitely cuter than me.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233414747175256757noreply@blogger.com
