It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
I hope you don't mind a little step back in time. Today's my birthday and I'm feeling a little blue.
From chubby little toddler to....
preschooler. That's not my skin looking strange, this picture has a little rip.
About 1st grade.
And then I got tired of scanning in old pics so jump ahead to my senior pic.
Senior pic.
And really jump ahead to my wedding day to Dan, August 1997.
A 2nd marriage for both of us.
I found my soul mate.
To almost Grandma to be!
Yikes! How does this happen?
OK, I know but still.....
Thanks for coming along my Birthday Memory Lane.

ReplyDeleteHAPPY Birthday Cindy! You are beautiful now and then :) I love the vintage phone and decor in the first two photos, not saying we are vintage or anything (I think you are younger than me) :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Don't feel blue. Although I happened to post about the color blue today! (Great minds think alike.) I can see where your gorgeous daughter came by her stunning looks.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
As beautiful as ever! Young! Young! Young! You look great, and I hope you have a great birthday, too, Cindy. I'm still on break, but a little bird told me it was your birthday. So I am checking in with you today. Hope to be blogging again soon. Mr. Magpie has been under the weather, and I am playing nurse.
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy Birthday and many happy returns now and always...
XO,
Sheila :-)

We must be about the same age...I think I had that plaid dress and I know I had that long hair my senior year. It is shocking to be using that grandma word, isn't it? I still picture my grandma in her skirts and pumps (in the house, during the week)! I wonder what she would think of the grandmas of today!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Cindy! You only look like a slightly older version of your gorgeous high school self to me! No need to cry you are still as pretty as ever! Looking good!
ReplyDeleteCindy, Happy Birthday to you all the way from Australia!!! I hope you have a wonderful day and take it from me - being a grandie is just the best!!
