Flashback Friday: Year 1993

So my sister Jill and I thought it would be a really fun idea to start Flashback Friday's on each of our blogs. Each week we will pick either a year or a catagory from our life for our flashback.


This week I am flashing back to the year 1993. Back in 1993 Bill Clinton was our president, an average movie ticket was $4.00 and the price of a gallon of gas was $1.17. Popular artists were Janet Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Aerosmith and the cool movies were Jurassic Park, Mrs. Doubtfire and the Fugitive. Here's me back in 1993.
This was my best friend, Jenny Sponseller. We did everything together. We normally didn't dress like this but this was a day at school where nothing was supposed to match. Do you like my shorts? To think I really wore those on normal days! In 1993 my Dad was remarried which is how I inherited this beautiful bridesmaid dress. You probably can't tell but I even had a matching scrunchie! We had the choice of choosing to wear white pumps with this dress or hot pink ones, so of course we wanted hot pink!

And just to show you that it wasn't a dreaded bridesmaid dress, here's a picture of my Mom and sister and I all dressed up. See, I actually really loved this dress, I wore it all of the time. Check out my sisters outfit....that's another post all in itself!

My Best Friend's Wedding

My friend Michelle got married last weekend in a beautiful resort in San Diego. We've been friends since our cheerleading days as freshman in high school. She was such a beautiful bride and it was fun to see her so happy.
Here's a picture of some of the bridesmaids during the reception. We've had alot of fun together during Michelle's engagement. From the bridal shower to the slumber party the night before the wedding, it's been great getting to know the other girls.
Michelle and Jay seemed so happy together . I was so honored to be a part of their special day.

Annual Heart Walk

Every year my work, Fountain Valley Regional Hospital, sponsers a 5k walk for heart wellness. I not only participate because I work in the cardio department, but also because I am a heart survivor. About 7 years ago I underwent open heart surgery to fix problems that I have had with my heart since birth. This year my mom came down to walk with me and show support for our team. If you are wondering why our shirts are different, mine is red to signify that I am a survivor. It was a really neat day. Thanks to everyone who sponsored and walked with me!

We've Moved!

For those of you that don't know, Matt and I are now residents of Huntington Beach. I was really sad at first to leave our cute little house in Orange. Watching Matt fix up and completely transform it made it really feel like home. I also really loved living in the city of Orange. However, once Matt walked me through the new house I was sold. It's such a fun house and I am so excited to be living here.....especially with the shorter commute to work. So, if you are ever in the area, stop by and see our new home!
