I can’t believe I am going to do this. I think I might be a little crazy! I decided to have a little fun on my blog tonight and pulled out my old 1991 photos. Let me tell you why…
I looked at my Facebook page this morning and noticed the number of followers I had. I immediately thought of how close I was to 1991 – my absolute favorite year! I graduated from high school in 1991 and was having the time of my life! I was getting ready to go to college, had a great part time job to get me through school, and I just won my small, hometown pageant. I spent a carefree summer having fun with friends and doing the whole pageant wave in several small town parades around my hometown. Along with the BIG hair, I had BIG dreams. This was the beginning of my life and I was going to conquer the world. I had dreams of becoming a teacher, moving somewhere warm, and was so excited to “grow up!”
I LOVED 1991…
I can’t believe it has been over 20 years since that time in my life. I feel like it was yesterday! When I found this on Pinterest, it made me laugh – it is SO me!!! Although this time of my life happened over 20 years ago, it doesn’t feel that way. I still feel young despite the fact that my teenage son routinely reminds me of how old I am!
Just for fun, I thought I would share my 1991 photos with you…
This was the program for the 1992 Miss Flushing pageant…
My 1991 Senior picture…
Getting ready to work at the bank. I was lucky enough to get a job as a Teller and Customer Service Representative. What a great job to get me though college! Don’t you love the décor in the background? Ummmm…Mom, what were you thinking? (My mom and dad read my blog – they will die when they see this lovely décor!)
My Pontiac LeMans – this was a nice car back then! 
Getting ready for another parade…
Homecoming my Senior year…

My senior picture from 1993 looks exactly like yours! Big hair and light from behind…. what was up with that trend? I enjoyed looking at your “retro” pictures!
Love the big hair – didn’t we all have it? Time does fly in a blink of an eye. However, you are still lookin’ young!
Does the item appear half price once you’ve gone through the checkout process? Or do you need to enter a promo code? Thanks for the fun sharing!
No promo code. It should appear half price in the checkout process! 🙂
is your owl theme available yet? looking forward to that!
Love it! The hair is hilarious!
I wish it was, Rebecca! It won’t be in the shop until the first week of April. 🙂
LOVE IT! I also graduated in ’91…are you sure 1990 wasn’t ten years ago?
It said 1990 when I pushed the button…I think I got to be1991….too fun! I did the BIG bangs and cobra sides on my elementary age daughters back then. Our midlife miracle is 8…..they have never allowed me to give her bangs of any sort. 🙂
Yay! My 1991 friend!!!! 🙂
Cool Beans! I just had to throw that out there! How fun! I am terrified of my big hair, blue eyeliner pictures! Great post!

This is so fun!! I loved that quote on pinterest too! Seriously, my students the other day were saying that in 1996 we had black and white tvs! I was so offended!! I said “what are you guys talking about, that was like 10 years ago!”
You were…and still are…gorgeous!
OMG! Love the big hair–what a great flashback to the days of lots of teasing and hairspray! LOL

First Grade is Fantabulous!
OMG!!! I love it!! Beautiful then beautiful now 🙂
The hair! The hair! How long did it take us to do that hair?? 1991 was my first year to teach! Talk about conquering the world!! Love the pics, and I have the same poster on my Pinterest board!
I don’t care what the math says – I think the sign is right. 1990 was 10 years ago! Oh how I wish it were true.

hahaha! A girl after my own heart…
Oh My! My hair looked the same way back in the 90s! :o) Happy 1991 to you!
OMG! Love your post…I am a 1992 graduate and this summer is my 20th reunion! Oh the memories! I love your blog and your creative ideas! Would you happen to be from Flushing, MI? My mom is from Flushing and went to Flushing High School. I visit my Uncle @ Lake Fenton very summer! Anyways! Love everything you do!! Keep it up! …and I love the big hair!
Yes, I am from Flushing, Michigan!!! I know Lake Fenton very well – my parents moved to that area after I graduated and they live very close to Lake Fenton! What a small world!
Melanie you are more beautiful now than in 1991. Not many people can claim that! Tell Jake he is blessed to have you for a mother, but I already know he knows that. He has worshiped you since he was a baby.
Hi! I am your newest follower and I LOVE your blog! So unique!
I can’t wait to check out your TPT store!

Stop by my blog sometime. It is fairly new.
Tamera! Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words! I will go check out your blog right now! 🙂
OMG!! Melanie I BELIEVE the sign!! It seems like 1991 was just yesterday. I can’t believe I’m admitting this but I am permanently stuck at the age 18 inside my head. haha! I don’t feel 38!! I’m sure I look it but that’s a different story. 🙂 Woohoo to 1991!!
