A Blast From The Past

Sorry for not posting these past few days...it's just that I'm still recovering from the shock of having received a 20 year high school reunion invite in the mail.

I think they tracked down the wrong Becky.

Because it's just not possible that age 17 was that many years ago.




Okay, so maybe it is.

Prom dresses with sleeves like that don't lie.

Neither does the fact that I once had a waist.

Oh how I miss you, waist...and dewy tanned skin...and long, naturally dark tresses.

Yep, that was a very very long time ago.
Excuse me while I go hug my 3 year old and pretend for just a while that I'm still a young mommy.

What I don't get is...WHERE DID the TIME GO? One day I was watching you get ready for your senior prom and the next I was reading a blog about it 20 years later! Do your bloggy peeps know that you asked a church buddy to go along with you, "as friends"? That is definitely a blogworthy story, but I won't spill the beans!

Whoooweee that's some pink! Reminds me of Anne Shirley and her Puff sleeves dress.

Oh yes, I want to know what Frumpgram is talking about...

I never knew you played football, Becky.

Oh, I kid. I had those same shoulder-ma-pads. And how.

How darling you are in those pictures, you and your matching tie and cumberbund date.

Just think...when you talk about 20 years ago and "old" I'm 3 years older. Ack. and Ack.

Funny enough...I wouldn't trade places with my 20 year younger self.

That is a great prom dress!

You really don't look much older now (just enought to not be a silly teenager), you are, however, a bit more fabulous1

From my perspective you ARE a young Mommy. Pffft! 20 years. Try one this one...35 years. Yikes!

You ARE still a beauty...minus the poufy sleeves and ruffles. ; ) Loved taking that trip back in time with you.
