Alrighty. So this afternoon I decided to put this together because I desperately needed to do something productive while I was watching What I Like About You. (I really do adore that show. Amanda Bynes has caused a variety of beverages to come out my nose because of her hilarious nature.) Well, I thought it was quite hilarious... and rather frightening at some times... and DEFINITELY makes me very happy for growing up out of awkward stages. Hope you enjoy!
So this is my absolutely adorable self as a wee little baby! Yes, that look on my face is a bit special, and yes I had more rolls than a bakery.
I'd say I was an adorable 2 year old at this point. I think I was trying to smile for the camera but it was hard not to look pained in that dress I'm wearing.
Even as a 3 year old I can rock the polka dots. and me a Dolly match! Precious. ... I'm not really sure why I was so confused, though.
Photo shoot with grandma at... 4? One of my cuter childhood pictures. :)
I think this one and the one before it might be out of order but oh well.. it was about the same age. But check out those 90's bangs!!! Bam baby! And little Kelene of course. We're just so darn cute.
Little Annie in Kindergarten. Just a bit of trivia... at this age I thought my last name was Bananie because EVERYONE called me Annie Bananie all the time. The disappointment when I learned my last name was Fletcher was devastating! But you know children... I got over it. haha Plus I have also discovered that the name Annie sounds awesome with just about every last name ever invented. (Not that I discovered this by putting my name with the last name of every boy I ever liked since I was 4 or anything....)
This is first grade. My hair was always a hot mess when I was a little kid. I had a snaggle tooth at this age as well. Also, HOLY LACE! Thank you mother, I'm sure I felt like a princess. ... or something.
And then in the Fourth Grade I exploded. Yes, it is hard to believe... but that really is me. Hahaha oh heavens.
This is probably 5th grade.. stage two of the awkward phase. I think God knew how much I'd like boys so he purposely made me kind of scary to keep me safe. .... and to protect the boys. Which doesn't really make sense because I was bigger and taller than most of them at this point.
This is the age I discovered I didn't have to wear frilly lace in my school pictures. 7th grade... I had graduated to glasses.. and I really didn't think I could get more awkward... I was wrong..
BAM! Glasses AND braces... and puberty... THIS was the peak of my awkwardness... ahh 8th grade. Thankfully I was able to balance it out by learning how to get ready in the morning and a weight training class. Orchestra didn't help.
Finally I start to get out of my awkward stage in 9th grade with the use of contacts and the removal of my braces.
For some reason I couldn't find my school pictures from 10th or 11th grade... but I found this lovely picture from Junior year... I did not know this boy that well... and I look fairly terrified in this picture. Good times.
And then finally senior year! I feel like I was completely out of all awkwardness at this point. I am still an incredibly awkward person but I like it that way! I was finally comfortable with myself and it felt great to finally be grown up!
That's it! This really was fun. I feel prettier just looking back at these.. hahaha. What a lovely walk down memory lane. :)
