Flashback Friday

Last night my friend Kayla flew into town & today we're spending the day in Waco exploring all things Chip & Jo because #FixerUpperObsession.  That being said I'll catch up on all of your posts Sunday after she flies out.  I hope that y'all have a fantastic weekend!

Here are some flashback photos of Kayla & me from over the years.

Linking up with Amanda.

Everything Changes

Awhile ago Nadine did a post about why you should Never Say Never & Steph did a post about Things That Used To Be Important.  I really loved both of these posts & wanted to do my own that was similar to both of them.  A look back at where I was in life, where I thought I'd be, & what was important to me at the time.

Happy St Patrick's Day!

I'm still on spring break & my parents are in town so rather than split up what I did over spring break (which is not much of anything) I'll just give y'all a big recap on Monday.  I hope that y'all had a great week & enjoy your weekend!  If you're celebrating for St. Patrick's Day today have an awesome time & be safe!  Linking up with Amanda!

I leave you with this...St. Patrick's Day 2011

As roommates the 4 of us agreed that we weren't going to do anything big or go out.  What actually happened was 2 of us decided to dye cheap vodka green & take shots all night...  Those shots led to dancing around the apartment, drunk texts, trying on clothes, & a little photo shoot.  (Kayla if you're reading this...that's also how the sand got spilled in your room... sorry!  It wasn't me!)  I somehow woke up hangover free the next day.  Oh to be 22 again...

Only 90s Kids Will Remember

First of all, I hate those posts.  Why?  Well because I didn't have cable until 2007 when I went to college.  That means I know about almost none of the stuff they post in those articles because I didn't have access to Nick & all of that fun stuff.  Ok pity party over...

About a month ago Steph & Nadine both did a fun little survey about the 90s.  As an avid lover of the 90s, I had to play along.

I was born in 1988, October 23 to be exact.  The 90s was basically my adolescence.  I rang in the 90s at the ripe age of 1 & was 11 when the 2000s came about.

Favorite Disney Film

The Fox & The Hound

  

The Little Mermaid is my favorite princess movie though

Favorite Disney Channel Original Movie

None because again, I didn't have cable until 2007

Favorite Music Artist

Backstreet Boys.  I once hyperventilated on my way into one of their concerts.  No shame.

Favorite Candy

The pink & purple nerds or the watermelon laffy taffy with the fake black seeds

Favorite Game (Board/School/Etc)

My favorite board game was Life

In school I loved playing dodgeball

Favorite McDonalds Happy Meal Toy

The beanie babies of course.  Beanie babies pretty much ran the 90s.

Favorite Book

The Little House on the Prarie series & the Babysitters Club Series.  In like the 1st grade my friend & I were so obsessed that we tried to start our own club.  Because obviously people were going to hire 7 year olds to watch their kids...

Favorite Show

Does the entire TGIF line up count??  If not it's a tie between Full House & Boy Meets World.  Sabrina & Step by Step were up there too.  Yeah, I stand by my original choice of the entire line up.

Weirdest Fashion Trend

Platform shoes.  Thanks a lot Spice Girls... I actually owned a pair of these, except in bright blue.
