Why am I choosing to embarrass myself?

I saw this posted on Heather's blog as well as Renata's blog... check them out!

15 years ago, I was...
*13 years old
*In the 8th grade at Osceola Middle School in Ocala, FL
*The drum major of our middle school band for the Ocala Christmas Parade
*playing the flute
(Sorry, no picture for this one... I honestly looked, but the 8th grade was such an awkward year... I probably burned all pictures from that time in my life!)

10 years ago, I was...
*18 years old
*A high school graduate... graduated with honors :)
*Spending my last summer at home doing community theatre
*Moving to Tennessee in the fall to attend Lee University
*Majoring in Music Education
*Playing the oboe in the Symphonic Band

That's me on the right

The only picture you may ever see of me dancing... I'm just to the right of "Frank Butler"
The show was "Annie Get Your Gun"

Freshman year of college in the Symphonic Band
That's Brandon sitting behind us... funny that we barely knew each other in the picture!

Me and Brandon coming home from a mission's trip to Brazil... we were only friends back then.

What a cute post. I came over from Sarah@parsonage. she mentioned your obession with Twilight. Um, to be honest I haven't found many people that liked it. (One woman even said "It was boring and Edward should have just sucked Bella's blood and done us all a favor.")
She admitted to only reading the first book. So I am pleased to meet you. I enjoyed the books and scarfed them down in a week. That's 2460 pages in a week. I'm a stay at home Mommy of two! Do you know how negelected my children were, I would throw them cookies if they began to whine. I HAD to finish the story. I loved it. It was long in the middle but loved it. I am reading it again and a much slower pace. Nice to meet you.
