dating flashback

My sister did a Flashback Friday post last week of her dating years. She had old dance pictures up and it made me get out my photo album and go through my dating years in high school. I say high school, because I didn't date much in college. I traveled a lot, and when I was home, I usually just hung out with boys. I gained some weight while I was over sea's, and I was convinced that was why no one wanted to date me. It was probably my fault, but I enjoyed just hanging out with a group of guys. I did go on a few dates, but I always seemed to be attracted to the pre-missionaries...so I never got my hopes up.

Anyway, here are some flashbacks into my high school days. I always loved the dances. Girl's Choice's were the best. We had a great group of girls and we always insisted we all go to the dances together...and there was always a fight, but great fun none the less. I hope my girl friends get a good laugh out of these!!

freshman year...Las Vegas Night. I went with Ted H. Such a fun guy...we dated a little and then became better friends. He and his friend Bentley, were our chauffeurs to all my friends and I. They were sophomores boys and had cars...we loved hanging out with them.


Prom sophomore year. I went with a friend. He was friends with the guys and I was friends with the girls so it worked.

Homecoming Junior year. His name was Josh. And I don't know what I was thinking. We were friends first and it developed into more. But all I remember was crying all the time over this kid. He was no good for me...and I think my parents knew it.

Girls Choice's Junior year. Totally 80's! Loved this one. This was my time of dating boys from other schools. Thought that was cool. This kid, Tom, was a water polo guy. My friend Adi and I went through this phase of water polo guys.


Prom my junior year. I went with my good friend Spencer. We said if neither of us had a date we would go with each other. So we did. They picked me up in a semi all decorated...definitely a first and definitely fun! So creative. This was the 1st overnighter date I had. Can't believe my parents let that one happen!:) We stayed up late, don't know if we slept...and had breakfast the next morning. I had a lot of fun with Spencer.
...and yes...that is eric on the far left, with another girl...we weren't dating yet!


Homecoming Senior Year. I was supposed to go with eric, but he took to long to ask me (far left, second row...don't mind the girl...so not a good idea) So my good friend Rhett beat him. He was in my ward and we always had so much fun together. I always remember drinking Mtn. Dew, eating peach rings and listening to La Diddly Qwa Qwa with him.

Girl's Choice Monster Mash & Hawaii. The beginning of Eric and I dating. Eric and I had such fun dating. We always hung out with a big group of friends. I only remember 3-4 actuall dates we went on. We rarely went out on formal dates. I liked it that way. Our group of friends were so much fun and very easily entertained. It always consisted of hanging out at someones house and entertaining ourselves.

Prom Senior Year. We always had to have a girl shot and boy shot...classics. Eric and I had broken up for a couple of months and this dance was our first date back together...and the rest is history... so cheesy! But I wouldn't change our story for anything. I love have these old memories with Eric. It makes our relationship that much stronger and it is fun reminiscing about our high school days.


After my high school dating, eric left for a mission, and I "technically" didn't wait for him, but I was very available when he came home!!!


This is Eric and I dating in college with our friends Jason(from high school) and his wife Erin. It took time for Eric and I to get back to where we were and move forward. I am glad we took the time to date and get to know each other all over again. I have a wonderful husband, and friend.
And the only dating times worth remembering!:)
