I was thinking about all the music I used to listen to and it is such a random mix. I'm sure most of you remember these...
Dance Music
Heavy D and the Boyz (Now that we found love), Salt n' Pepper, TLC, Snap (Rythym is a Dancer is one of my favs), C+C Music Factory, Wreckx-n-effect (Rumpshaker), The Real McCoy, House of Pain, Will Smith, Tag Team , and lots of others that I don't know the name/artist
I know some of these are older, but they had their comeback when I was in school: Jewel, Billie Myers, Meat Loaf, REM,U2, Bon Jovi, Smashing Pumpkins, Guns n' Roses, Depeche Mode, Scorpions, Seal and lots and lots of others - there was a lot of music in the 90's
Live, Metallica (Jez & I even went to the concert), Bone Thugs n' Harmony and lots of other really inappropriate music...
OK - So here's some of my pictures from
back then (Junior & Senior in H.S.)...
MGM Theme Park - Vegas
(Notice the lovely tiny braids...)
Janiel was my best friend in H.S.
This was summer break the year
I turned 16 (between Junior & Senior Year)
Hard Rock - Vegas
Excalibur - Vegas
Laughlin, NV
(Yes we hung out in casinos when we were 16)
Driving through the desert.
In this picture we are in Janiel's Honda
In high school I had a black Probe (see top pic)
and Dodge Daytona. Janiel had a
red Mustang, navy Honda Prelude, and
dark green Mitsubishi Eclipse.
All were 2 door sports cars with sunroofs.
We thought we were pretty cool back then. ;)
Early Morning - Spring Break - AZ

at Toby Keith/Tracy Lawrence Concert
SLC
Summer I turned 16
I was on the Utah Dance Team for the Down Under Bowl. 2 Weeks before we left we found out the Cheer Team out of SLC backed out so we got to dance and cheer. :) We spent 2 weeks in Sydney, Australia and a couple days in Honolulu, Hawaii. There was a Utah Dance team and Football team, and we went with the Texas Cheer and Football teams. We performed at the league games between Utah/Texas, in a parade, at the league games between Sydney/Utah and at an Australian Rugby league game. We were on the news and in the local papers. It was really a great experience. I had a lot of fun and made a lot of new friends.

"Ice Cream Boy" - This is one of the only pictures I have
of our dance costumes. We were getting ice cream on
the beach. It is gorgeous there!

I went on a business trip with my mom.
I met Jez just before this trip.
Jez with long hair!!
He usually wore it in a ponytail... haha.
Love you sweetie.
Janiel & I's apartment in Scottsdale, AZ.
(I had just turned 18 when we moved in-
Jez was there visiting with Janiel's boyfriend)
It cracks me up to see these. It seems like such a long time ago. I'm sure my parents will cringe at the memories. But we all turned out OK in the end. :)
I have lots of other pictures of when we were dating, but I don't know where they are. We are very different people than we were back then.
What do you remember about your younger years??
I think everyone should do a memory lane post with pictures. :)
I love to see where people come from.

I loved the walk down memory lane. I remember being able to go inside a grocery store, and it would only take 2 minutes to get what I needed instead of the 20 it now takes. I loved the pictures, I didn't think I could ever picture Jez with long hair, now I will never forget!:) I love all the pictures. Its fun to see what people looked like before you met them!
Trina
I tried to find Kris Kross forever! You lucky chick!
Love the music and all of the dance pictures! Also, Derek and Jez had the same hair style, hahahahah! I made him cut it right after we got married (he was stuck)!
I remember having ZERO responsibility ! Playing all day and night...life changes fast but I would not trade it for anything!
Jenny
Oh, this was TOO fun! I loved seeing these pictures of ya'll. I did have to laugh at the one where you're wearing sandals with socks...you are so Utah! He he
Shauntae that is hilarious because I almost posted that in the caption... then I thought "nope I'm going to hope she doesn't notice..." hehe. Did you notice the electric lolli-pop swirler in the door handle???
Jenny... I was partially inspired by your Ice, Ice, Baby. :) I wouldn't change having kids for anything either. I'm glad I grew up. :)
Jessica I think everyone should post pictures from their high school years. It would be fun to see where everyone comes from. :)
Now that's entertainment! Loved the post. I recently had a little trip down memory lane myself. You guys are the greatest. We miss you.
Holy manoley! That is awesome! My life before kids...? I should make a post sometime, too. Mostly I remember that I was a lot of fun! Hee hee hee!
Jim... we miss you guys too. I hear rumors of your stories, but it is still hard to believe. When I ask Trinette she just says you were a really nice guy. Mary Nolan on the other hand said she had stories... but never told. :) It's one of those things where you would never go back to the lifestyle, but it is part of who you are.
Camille you are too cute! I love reading your posts and comments. You made me laugh as soon as I saw your "holy manoley." I still think you are a lot of fun... it's time for a GNO! I can't wait to see everyone again. It will probably be next Spring/Summer before we get back there.
Trina - that I laughed so hard at the picture of Jez with long hair that I nearly fell off my chair! I love that you posted all your pics from high school - I would never have thought you were so wild! And you were a dancer? That's very cool. Me on the other hand - I was in band. Not so cool, but I loved it. I'm going to dig out some of my old high school pictures and give you a turn to laugh at my "Mile High Bangs".
By the way, I didn't know you stamped - that's cool! I'm starting a card club and you could be in it if you want :) We can just mail cards back and forth. I so wish that I'd been more vocal about my GNO while you were here. I would have LOVED to have you come.
Amber... band is good. I play piano and tried violin once. :) I tried my sister's flute and it didn't work out so well... my brothers drums on the other hand... anyway... you HAVE to post the mile high bangs! I love those!! If I go back to middle school pics I had the flower bangs. (You know the ones that went up and down and if you could get them in a circle it was a good day!) :)
Sorry, but when I saw this post, I started to laugh. Every time a song came on, it made me realize how much we are alike. I remember how much I liked that music back in the day. I'm so glad that I can talk to you about everything. The Savior has blessed me with an awesome sister-in-law.
