Nineties and Nostalgia

Oh the 90’s

My childhood.

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that 1990 was 22 years ago.

I became a teenager in the 90’s

 (granted it wasn’t until 1999, but still….)

From age 4 to age 13 a lot changed.

That decade was one of the best decades in the history of decades.

(of course this is just my personal opinion…..but in my mind I’m right….always)

I was there when Kerri Strug hopped off the mat at the 1996 Olympics to help the US clench gymnastics gold.

I watched Hansel, Tabasco Cat, Thunder Gulch, Silver Charm, Real Quiet, AND Charismatic ALMOST win the Triple Crown.

(Maybe I’ll Have Another will take it this year……seriously, 34 years is long enough).

The first Harry Potter book was released and I was hooked.

I watched Titanic at the Fox Theater in downtown Atlanta.

I watched the Y2K scare come and go.

I suffered through getting on the internet  via dial-up modem.

(bleep, ber bonk, beeeeep, bing bing bing, bleep beeeerroooonnkk, beep)

I remember building forts out of tables, chairs, and sheets with my brother.

I remember being outside with my friends riding bikes down the big hill in front of my house.

The following collage is what was so great about the 90’s

(From the perspective of a pre-teen turned newly-awkward teenager)

All in one place so that I will never forget my childhood.

I hope they bring a smile to your face and a fond memory to mind.
