10 Years Ago...

So my sister tagged me with this. She had this elaborate post with tons of pictures so I had to at least try to do the same. I don't have nearly as many pictures as she does but oh well. Here's the tag:

1. What were you doing 10 years ago?
Yikes, has it already been ten years? Well to be specific, I was half way though my 8th grade year, attending Mountain Ridge Junior High. Even more specific is that I was crushing over this kid, of which whom I will not name since some of you know exactly who I'm talking about! My obsession over this kid started in 8th grade. 10 years ago I would be "going out" with him right now, and having a grand old time hanging out with him and his friends. I finished doing cheerleading for the Highland Bears (we're the bears, raging hot,...) and just having fun at school with my friends. I know I had more pictures of me in 8th grade but most of them were tied with that boy. I threw all those away as I was dejunking my stuff, getting ready to move it all in my own home when I got married :) So these are the only decent ones I could find of me back in the days of 1998:

Living proof that I was a Bears' cheerleader. I was tempted to scan the whole squad but seeing how some of you are in that picture, I think we'd all appreciate not scanning that one in...This was taken the day after Halloween so I was pretty tired. But we won the cheer competition that day! We were seriously the best squad!


Here's a random picture of me in school. look at my beautiful long, silky hair!! I miss that! Anyways, Maggie, you'll appreciate that I cropped you out of this picture.
And this is a face shot, my signature move with cameras...I still do that...I know, so odd really.
This is me setting the timer on the camera and posing. I guess I thought I was model material so I practiced some poses.



Ok Next question,

2. 5 Things on my "To Do" list for today:
-Finish Laundry, meaning putting it away
-Find a "baby blanket bag" for Kate because she wakes up freezing every morning!
-shower :)
-Get mail
-Do a scrap page!! (I know, not the most productive day today...:) )

3. 3 Bad habit's that I have:
-Turning TV on in order to get things done
-Not putting dishes away when they are all done and clean
-Staying up late. I don't like going to bed first because I'm the lightest sleeper and know that Joe will just wake me up when he goes to bed. So I tend to stay up when he does...which isn't good when I wake up at 7 every morning!!

4. Place's that I have lived:
Utah, Canada, England, Texas

5. Thing's most people do not know about me:
I had to have braces twice
I retook 2nd grade twice--and not because I was stupid
My eyes change color with what I wear
When I was younger, I loved to turn on my favorite song, leave it on repeat and lay in my bed and think about things, which is somewhat connected to the last one...
If I had my way, I would turn up the AC, jump into bed and lay there all day long and think. (And this isn't a sign of depression)

You'll have to check it out. Sorry it was so detailed and I'm sure you didn't need all that. I couldn't believe how long it was when I was done typing. sorry but hope it gives you some ideas.

So fun Lyssa! Jr High...pretty sure that would be three years of my life I would NOT want to repeat. These pictures are too great! I love that you were a Bears Cheerleader....I guess I never realized that one. :)

Jenni said...

Lyssa-
Hey!! So good to hear from you too! I've peeked in at your blog every now and again since we've moved too seeing as how we have a few of the same friends and all...you should TOTALLY try out for the DT spot!!! First, go register on the boards and introduce yourself in the "Introductions" thread. Post some layouts and cards in the gallery to make yourself known. Just chatting and letting people know you is a good place to start!! Hope to see you over there!!

Love the cheer photo--you sassy cheerleader you!

Ok, so the fact that Kenyon Flake made it onto the blog and you cropped ME out is a little upsetting! (and I know exactly what picture that was, and if I'm not mistaken, I was making a very cute pucker face in it!....ok, maybe I'm glad that you cropped me out)Good times!

lyssa and gabe were lovers........
