It’s on my 30 before 30 list to make a scrapbook of my 20′s. It was one of those things on my list of things to do while the hubs was gone – along with decorate the bedroom (done-ish), redo the living room (ish…), and figure out what the eff to do with our spare room. Last night, I organized. I got rid of 2 boxes that were still packed in the closet then reorganized said spare room closet and cleaned up the floor putting aside a bunch of crap hubs needs to sort through when he gets home. There’s still work to be done but I can walk in there without tripping over crap so progress!
But that was just the cake. I also went and bought a photo album, so I could hopefully get that scrapbook started and finished before next week when I go to Texas.
This is just high school.
I have at least 3 more boxes. Most of the pictures I had put on CD as well (when I got my disposable cameras developed….because I used disposable cameras through college because I had cheap digital cameras that didn’t last…or that i broke.) so I plan on saving those but I want to downgrade and get rid of the photo boxes. Most of the pictures I have are from 2003-2006. Yikes.
Let me tell you…or rather.. let me show you some gems I stumbled upon. Do not judge…everyone had bad hair in the 90′s. Also, please note the songs that popped into my head as I was going through these photos.
8th grade graduation/formal June 1997. {Soundtrack song: Wannabe by the Spice Girls}
The day I moved. {Soundtrack song: Don’t Speak by No Doubt}
My best friend Chris and I sometime after October 1997 which was when i got my braces off… {Soundtrack song: Missing the War by Ben Folds Five}
me at a nordic ski race, guessing sometime in Jan/Feb 2001 {soundtrack song: Miss Jackson by Outkast}
High school graduation 2001 {Soundtrack song: Take a picture by Filter}
Senior Prom. May 2001. {Soundtrack song: Survivor by Destiny’s Child}
Holy effing crap y’all I was so little!!
My 30 before 30 list states a scrapbook of my 20′s but I really didn’t have many pictures from high school (it wasn’t a good time for me…) so I went through the few pictures I had from 1997-2001 and am going to add them to the photo album my mom gave me that was technically my baby album but still had some room in it. Next time I’m in VT I really need to get more pictures from my childhood from my mom to add to that one and I may go back to Target to get another album this weekend to transfer the baby album over since the cover fell off in one of my many moves (pretty sure it was from DC-CT or Ellie got to it…).
Either way, since it’s supposed to be a rainy weekend I figure this is a nice project that’ll be productive, keep me busy and inside and you all might be getting throwback pictures for a while now on the blog. Enjoy!
