When I Was In...Linky Party

It's been awhile...I know.  Sad face.  Grades are due this week and we have a brand new report card, which takes some getting used to.  And, of course, I've been decorating for Christmas!  It's been a slow process this year, but I'll share when I'm done!

In the meantime, Kate over at Second Grade Sparkle is having a super fun linky party!

We are sharing pictures of us when we were in the grade level that we now teach!  And...well...obviously I teach second grade, so I had to dig real deep in my messy basement to find some pictures so I could join:

Get ready...

Apparently, I was not a happy child.  Actually, I was a happy child.  I was just stubborn and didn't like people telling me what to do.  Aka, the photographer didn't get the "smile" he asked for.

And, I'm not really sure what my mother was thinking.

This was the one and only day of my modeling career.  Well, I wasn't really modeling.  Just awkwardly posing for a picture in the early 90s!

Fast forward 20 years...and here's a picture of me and my husband now.

Happy happy!  And smiling!
