I vaguely remember these days, but for whatever reason this is what I dreamt about last night. I did pom in high school. I LOVED LOVED LOVED to dance. I did cheer in junior high, but it wasn't as much fun...more like booooring! Hip hop was my specialty, loved to get down. When I danced, you didn't know that I was a white girl! haha! I can still get down pretty good when Tony and I go dancing. Thankfully I married a boy whose got some sweet moves of his own! :D Anyways...I dreamed that I was with my old girlfriends from my pom squad and they were helping me find my uniform because I had misplaced it and it was time to get on the bus to head to another football game. um, random. I LOVED pom. My junior year in high school was my favorite - it was THE best, as far as pom went. The girls on our squad were SO awesome. Most were seniors, only 4 of us juniors made the squad, so they took us under their wings. We had sleep-overs, all got along really well and enjoyed each other. It was super awesome that out of (I think) 16 girls, all but 2 of us were LDS, so we had the same standards and weren't all out to get the boys or used our social status to get what we wanted (all the time), just because we were "pommies"! I was pretty smokin' hot if I do say so myself. HA! We had to get along, I guess...we spend hours & hours & hundreds of hours together. Those were some really good days. Sometimes I miss it. My super cute friend Kaydee tried out with the Arizona Cardinals just after high school and danced with them for 4 (?) years. I honestly thought about trying out, but then I knew that all of the football games would be on Sundays and I didn't want my church membership to be effected by my desire to dance. So I never tired out. I have thought about that quite a few times over the years, but don't regret my decision one bit. I miss dancing and being able to express myself. I miss dancing during half-time at the football games. I miss being in such good shape! But most of all, I miss all of the excitement that came with all of the football games, being so busy doing something that I loved to do. Sometimes being a SAHM (mom) & wife can be, well, pretty boring, especially now that Alex is at school all day. Hence my having the time to write this obnoxiously long blog entry. haha. But my life is good and I really have nothing to complain about. I suppose I could, but then it would just get me down and who wants to be down?! So, that's my story. No laughing at my picture, or my huge hair (spiral perm, made the ponytail look cute!)...it was 1996 after all! :D

You gotta get up and rock, girlfriend! Take time when Alex is at school and Emma will be entertained by watching, find some rockin' tunes and dance it out! And, by the way, we are totally having somekind of a talent show or venue next time you come to town when you can show all of us some moves. The Reese's are NOT known for their beat or moves (just ask Ben), but we can surely appreciate someone who can! I can't wait to see you shake your groove!
I wish I had some good memories from HS. Mostly I was just there. Although, Lisa Thornton and I had some good times. I suppose that's all that is important. And even more important, she and I have stayed in contact with each other over the last 13 or so years. Now I just need to convince her to move back to AZ!
I can totally sympathize. I love my kids and my family and my life but sometimes...I just wish I could be that carefree girl once again. Maybe we can go dancing somewhere the next time you come. I have a girlfriend who keeps trying to convince me to go. Maybe I will have more confidence surrounded by my family. I bust out some of my Zumba moves. I love the idea Marcy gave of dancing at home, why not! We love dancing around here, even if we don't have any rythum!
You were such a hottie! Love that picture....seriously adorable :)
A rah-rah in the family ... never thought I'd see the day. LOL Secretly, deep down, we all wanted to be you in high school. My little guy and I dance all the time. It's so fun to rock out to Jack's Big Music Show or Judson Spence, whichever. And thanks for the Krud Kutter heads up, I'll make sure to get some next time I'm at WM. Don't think my little guy will fit in the onesies any more though unless they make 3t sizes. Which he prolly won't be in for much longer anyway. They grow sooooooooo fast!
I love old pictures!! How cute!! :) I understand your need to dance. I feel the same way. What fun memories to have!
