blast from my weirdo past

This little lady, is having a friendly competition. So, in the spirit of embarrassing myself, Im in! Check her blog for all the details. It's time to take you back my friends, to a time where wearing the exact same shirt in different colors was a super cool thing to do!...





Group shot, 9th grade 1996




Now it's time to introduce to Kristen Koelle...the high school years!






Senior pics (sorry for the quality)




Kristen Koelle never wore make-up, never waxed her eyebrows, never had a shirt long enough to cover her cursed torso, and was always the "friend"...never the "girlfriend"



Unfortuneatley, I can't find my worst dance pic. You might be able to find it here. I think this is my second worst, my first dance.

Christmas Formal, 1997


I had on AWESOME velvet pimp shoes with a gold buckle that you can't see. I didn't have time to shave my underarms (cause I was running late from getting my hair did at JC Penney!) All in all, I was a hot mess, but I went with a senior! (cool points??)




Here are a few other disasters...

**Note: I never dated any of these boys, they were all friends. My first high school boyfriend was 2 months before graduation but THAT is a whole other post!


Christmas Formal 1998




Sadies 1999


What bothers me the most is that WE LOOKED COOL for those days. Now a days, these youngin's might all laugh but they're just jealous they didn't grown up when wide-leg jeans that covered your ENTIRE foot were cool. Or when sandals that had a 4-inch platform bottom where the bee's knee's (lei anyone??)



Amongst my reminising, I found another photo that brought me to tears from laughter. Summer before junior year, we had a priest/laurel canoe trip down the Colorado River. The week before I was in a car accident. My dad told me I couldn't go and I REFUSED, so we comprimised. I could go as long as I wore my neckbrace the entire time!...and I did becuase i thought, "if anyone can pull off a neck brace in a canoe...it's me!"

So this one's for fun!



I challenge everyone to do this... I had so much fun!
