Happy 35th Birthday!

Today is my 35th birthday. As promised, I will celebrate this day by posting pictures of me from throughout the years. Some of these are WILD! I told you before that if I posted embarrassing pics of others, I would do it to myself.

 

I admit, I am lazy and did not scan the pictures. I took pics of pics because my good camera battery was dead. (Hush- it’s my bday- I can be LAZY if I want.)

 

These are in NO order…unless you count the order that I found them and took the pic.

 

This one is at my first bday. It is on the trailer porch and that is Mama- Mac standing by me. My house is now where the trailer once stood.

Just a few weeks old…Why is my mother feeding me cereal when I am THAT young?!

Look at the wall board and carpet in the trailer! CLASSIC! (and the deer head- Yes, Ma’am!)

Just before Sr Year. State Convention FFA. This picture begins to show some hope.

Ok, So I think I was fair to those of you who I have posted pics of before. I included some HIDEOUS ones of me. I apologize for the poor quality, but between teaching, mommying, and living a life, it was all I could do.

Thanks to ALL of you who have called, visited, Facebooked me, or emailed me to wish me a happy birthday. It has been a  special day. I am about to get dressed to go to dinner and Trivia Night with Julie and Jennifer. I ALWAYS look forward to our bday celebrations. I got some wonderful, generous gifts and I am thankful for each of them.
