Flashback Friday

I just discovered Flashback Fridays and since I love memories, I couldn't help but join in!

I think I'll just include all the memories I have that are in this shot:

• spending time with my niece
• living in NC with my family
• long hair!
• that shirt... I never had the arms for it.  :)
• that rectangle necklace.  I wore that every day until it started to discolor (which wasn't long bc it was cheap!)
• my niece's shirt-- she made it at VBS that year.
• the black car in the background.  It was my first car... and I still drive it everyday!
• the white truck in the background... my dad's old truck, which backed into my car one day.
• the side ponytail was a result of hating my hair.  No matter how I fixed it, I didn't think it looked good.  So if it's going to look dumb, then go all the way, right?
• my niece's side ponytail is on the otherside-- I promise she had one too!
• to this day, my niece finds it nearly impossible to look at the camera and just smile pretty.  :)  Here is a picture from last weekend as proof:

She is actually a beautiful girl... she just doesn't like the camera!
