Long Lost Gems

by Mandy Weger on July 20, 2011

I’m glad I’m not the only picture hoarder!! While cleaning up some photos from my computer yesterday, I came across some real gems that give you a glimpse into my past selves :)

They made me giggle, so I thought I’d share them!

My very first webcam! I was 13 or 14 in this picture with my sister…note the Nsync posters in the background!

When I turned 15, I got a room makeover including a mural of NYC on my wall & a vintage candy machine. Oh, and I had a little image makeover too and thought I was a punk-rocker. I was super hardcore.

My freshman year dorm room…can you tell I worked at a movie theatre and got some free posters?

One of my first college parties…I was such a classy double-fister!

Working on my first 16mm film!

I didn’t wear my first wedding dress on my wedding day…I dressed as an 80′s bride with a used wedding dress one halloween.

Mike and I at the top of the volcano in St. Kitts–I just barely made it up alive!

I didn’t want to march at my graduation, so Mike was the only one who saw me get my diploma.

The cutest little old lady twins you’ve ever seen (at Coney Island)

An awesome picture I took at Six Flags’ animal safari…the giraffe literally stuck his head in my window! I wasn’t supposed to roll down the window, but this pic made it worth it.

The puppies when we first brought them home! They were very clingy to each other at this point before they really figured out that this was their home. All of those stuffed animals were obliterated by them shortly after.

 

Oh, Zoe…we can always count on you to keep things interesting around here.

Still keeping it classy and having fun after all these years!

I actually had a much more fun time going through my pictures than I thought I would. I still haven’t deleted quite enough, but I found myself so caught up in reliving it all that I didn’t want to delete as many as I thought I would! I’ll get back into it tomorrow, but I have a feeling I’ll still want to keep quite a few around since I had such a great time looking through them.

Have you gone through old pictures on your computer? Have you found some real gems of yourself too?

    Aw, I love these photos! It’s always fun to look back at old photos and remember little moments like these that you had forgotten. :) I need to go through mine and do the same!!

    These are so fun! Now I’ll have to go through mine. I was never really a photo-blogger until the past year or so, so the majority of my pics are legit, but I know I still have way more than necessary …

    I love looking at old pictures of people – there’s just something so fun about them! I also worked in a movie theatre in high school, so my HS bedroom was plastered in movie posters. :)

    Great photos! It’s so cool that you have a picture of your college dorm . . . I’m sad not to have any photos of that to show people.

    Hahahaha! I love your punk rock phase. I had one of those-and also a ghetto phase. I wish I had pictures of that. Baggy jeans, a Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt and giant hoop earrings? I was SO. Stupid. lol
    It’s fun to look back and giggle at yourself.
