Geek!

Geek, Nerd, Dork...call me whatever you want but Matt is convinced that this is when it all started downhill for me! He says my parents should have warned me! :)

You see, I was looking through my mom's old pictures and found this one and was struck by one of my favorite memories ever!!! So I of course showed Matt the picture and then recounted the memory.

I was 5 years old and in kindergarten when I heard of an upcoming assembly at school! We were having Polynesian dancers coming to our school to "hula" for us! I was so excited. My Grandma and Grandpa Styles  had recently brought home a luau skirt and bikini top for me straight from Hawaii. I was so excited about the whole thing that I wanted to wear my hula skirt and binkini top to school that day for the assembly. I wore it all day and when I got into the assembly they were so impressed that someone was so excited that they wore a luau skirt, so they decided to call me up on stage! I got to dance the "hula" with this group in front of the whole school!!! And at the end, two girls reached down and kissed me on the cheek! They had bright lipstick on and I had lip marks on my cheeks for the rest of the day! I was not about to wipe them off! I wanted the whole world to know that I had been the one up on that stage with them dancing. It made my whole year. :)

Anyways... after telling Matt this story he was convinced that this was the start of my dorkiness! He said "Who does that? You should have known right then and there that you were a dork!"  :) ha ha I love it! I've always had quite a bit of dorkiness in me, but that's what has made my life so fun! I didn't see any of the other kids having the time of their lives up on stage doing the hula!

So like I said, call me a geek, nerd, or dork......... I don't mind :)
