Memory Lane Friday: Link Up!

Thank y'all so much for all the comments yesterday and encouraging words! : )

Who does not like looking at old pictures? I can sit in my room for hours going through and looking at pictures from the past. I've decided that every Friday I'm going to create a post titled "Memory Lane Friday". I'm going to post a picture from the past and write a little about it. I figured this might be a fun blog hop so I will create a MckLinky down at the bottom of this post. 

Do y'all remember Meredith's season of The Bachelorette several years ago? Well Laney (pictured below) was one of the last four guys left on her season. He was sent home after his hometown date though! This picture was taken at my cousin Cait's brother's graduation. Laney is from the same small East Texas town as my cousin and his brother was also graduating that same day! You know I was THRILLED to do death to get a picture with him! 

Don't we look SOOO young?!  I think I went to the tanning bed a little too much back then, ha!

Year - 2004. Me - Age 17 and Cait - Age 15

Do y'all remember him?

Well...the next year for my 18th birthday my mom had this cake made for me! 

The top of the cake: "Christa, Happy 18th Birthday"


The bottom of the cake: "Future Bachelorette"


Should I go apply for the show?! Ha!

If you wish to link up just post an old picture and write a little about it!
