When I was around 10 years old my friend Amber and I had a sick obsession with cheer leading ( and Bon Jovi and Vanilla Ice...ha ha ha ). We finally got a chance to be on a little league team and was excited. Amber's grandmother stitched us up some uniforms quickly because the team had already ordered their uniforms, and frankly my family couldn't have afforded the "real" uniform anyhow. I only cheered for two years, but really enjoyed it.
I stuffed the uniform away in a drawer and pulled it out for my sister, Crystal to wear for Halloween a couple of times.
Twenty years later, my nine year old niece, Emily tried it on and looked so cute. It made me realize that sometimes it's worth holding on to old stuff. It was really neat to see her wearing something that I loved when I was her age. I encourage her and my sisters and brother to hold on to memorable things.
Here are a couple photos of all three of us in it.
This photo is cut up because my younger sister (Crystal) was very mad at me and took scissors to it. Luckily I stopped her before she destroyed it...
Me wearing the uniform for Halloween, as a Cheerleader. How original?
Crystal on Halloween. She was a killer Cheerleader...ha ha ha
And, our little Emily 2012. Nine years old
