my life tag

20 Years Ago I:
1. Lived in my swimsuit.
2. Had green hair because I lived in the said above swimsuit and therefore, the swimming pool.
3. Was almost 4 years old.
4. Lived in the coolest house known to man with an awesome dance room, stage with curtains and costumes galore.
5. Watched the Monsoon season in the garage with my family on summer nights while eating grape popsicles.

10 Years Ago I Was:
1. 13 and really, really awkward (see the girl in the oversized blue sweatshirt and striped pants in the picture above).
2. Mad at my dad for telling my mom to not buy me the cute yellow dress from Gap because I "only wore black and white".
3. Crushing on every single one of my brother's friends.
4. Mad at my brother for telling every single one of his friends that I had a crush on them.
5. Making cookies for my brother's friends while they practiced their music for their band, "Euphony 5".

  1. What's this 25 pounds nonsense?!? you looked gorgeous, dahling, at my house a couple of months ago and that was BEFORE you lost the 9 pounds. Puh-lease.
    A triathlon! I love it! Which one?!? Maybe you'll inspire me to start training again for one...

  6. Ya, not feeling sorry for you at all because as I recall you had plenty of boys knocking your door down during the so-called "awkward phase". Don't even deny or I will start listing names! Ü

  7. You are too cute Liz! Holy cow I saw the picture of you and your mom and was amazed to realize that I am in your mom's ward!!! She is an amazing lady! (If I already knew that... I've lost quite a few brain cells due to pregnancy...) HA! I found you off Julie's blog, you girls are the cutest. And I second the motion, you are too hot already and would be dead if you lost 25 pounds! So fun to see you again... vicariously through the internet... ;) I'll take what I can get.
