    This is the best picture ever. I love that it also has your 13 year old handwriting in the corner, too! Love it πŸ™‚

    Love it, you’re so cute. I wanted hair just like that in 1979, but mine wouldn’t flip the right way. I was always jealous of the girls whose hair would flip like that. I think I spent every weekend in 1979 at the roller rink, waiting for Jeff Barron to ask me to skate in the couples skate. He never did.

    I think it’s cute that the shoe-part of the skates have heels…it’s like “Heels on Wheels”! You were, and still are, gorgeous!

    Love it! Especially the 70’s style skating dress…minimal sequins, short circle skirt, mutton-chop sleeves. My first ice skating competition dresses looked just like this. What level were you here? I remember crashing A LOT on axels and double salchows at this age..gawky long teenage legs don’t wanna do what we want them to!!!

    Ok Cathy!!!!!! Love it. I dreamed of being one of the cool teenagers that did competitive roller skating. When I would go skating with my Dad as a kid. I remember them practicing in the center of the rink and hanging out on the back benches. Just being in total ah of there coolness. But, the closest I got to that dream was having roller skating Barbie.

    Total awesomeness! I was a mere recreational skater, but I did rock my blue & white Adidas tennis shoe skates, I must say. And, I was the Skateway roller-limbo champ for all of 6th grade. Good times!

    I suddenly have the urge to make some yarn pompoms and stick a big comb in my back pocket.

    I know everyone has said this already but OMG how much Aiden looks like you. Isn’t that amazing? When you can look at your child (a picture or even the real thing) and see yourself (or someone else in your family).

    My second thought was: 1979, that’s when I was born! (BTW I hate it when co-workers, neighbors call me a baby or sooooo young. Yeah I might be to them but 30 ain’t so young when you really think about it).

    My last thought was, boy do I miss roller skating. That was a weekly thing for me growing up (even through high school). Does anyone still roller skate anymore? Cause I can’t ice skate to save my life!!!
