Birthday Fun

 

I’ll not be here today; there’s so much fun to be had when a person turns FORTY!  So thought I’d leave something fun for you.  After all, I can’t have all the fun on my birthday (which, I share with my brother Collin – he’s 35 today).

The above are my 3rd, 4th and 5th grade school photos.  I was really, truly blonde!

7th Grade – yikes! 

8th grade – not much better!  Guess I liked stripes and I’m sure everyone had about 5 ribbons to go with a shirt like the one I’m wearing.

Freshman year.  Nuff said.

Sophomore year – getting more used to the braces.

Now, it skips quite a bit because I couldn’t find my senior pics to scan.  I don’t look much different from my AGD picture taken in Fall 1989, though.

Yep, I’m still quite blonde.  This isn’t high-lighted or anything – you can ask my room-mates!

Yes, folks, this is my Sophomore year of college.  I volunteered for a hair style show (the owner begged me not to go near friends so it would be a shock!).  It was a shock to my girl friends and no one recognized me in class the next day, either!  Anyway, my hair never went back to blonde.   I’m okay with it and this color suites me.  Wish I still had that shirt … I really liked it.

My wedding day on December 31, 1994.  I was a mere 24 years old and thrilled to be marrying this man, who’s hair is now peppered with gray strands.  I have the gray strands, too, just not as many.

I promise I’ll post birthday photos later … later!
