Yes, this is my class picture from kindergarten. I'm rocking it in that gold dress on the front row. Apparently, I was very happy about having my picture taken, too.
I was probably pissed at the boy in the red shirt standing behind me. He made my life HELL. He chased me. And pinched me. And poked me. If I was on the swings, he was on the swings. At rest time, he would move his towel to be near me. Made my life hell, I tell you.
The girl next to Hell Boy was my best friend. I went to a different school in first grade. By the time our class was reunited in middle school, she was gone - moved away.
In the years since, I had forgotten her name. But I could still show you where her family had lived. And I still remember how sad I was about not seeing her anymore when I changed schools.
The funny thing? Guess who posted the class picture? Yep, her.

I love Facebok! Its amazing the people who come out of the woodwork! Hope you guys are getting the chance to catch up! :-)
How neat Woody.. The internet has helped us catch up with old friends. I have found lots of family members (cousins) by working on Family History on the internet.
We all had a HellBoy in our lives. Mine was the little boy across the street named Tony. He chased with with a huge stick.. Wonder what ever happened to him?????
Hugs,

that is SOOO awesome. now you can reconnect??? so cool...I love stories like that.
you were rockin' that dress girl.
Your teachers were a bit risque in those short dresses though.
How exciting! I haven't joined facebook or any of those things as of yet, even though my kids and family keep telling me I need to. I think I am afraid that I will get addicted to it like some people and how I tend to get with these kinds of things. I barely have enough time for this blogging gig but your story here makes me want to give it a try.
Hope you have fun connecting with old friends!
Oh what fun. I hope you commented on her blog and she remembered you. MB
I think I only see one little girl smiling out of all the children, lol. The photographer must have been a real riot...
Mini skirts just weren't meant for everyone, were they?
Glad to hear you found an old buddy!
Look at those patterns.
That is an awesome story, now you can catch up.
OMG! I had half those outfits in my class!!!!! You do look darling though, and have only improved since then, I am sure of it!
How wonderful that you shared this trip down memory lane with us! Makes me hope my Grandparents burned those clothes!!!!
How a great day today! You certainly put me on the right track!
How weird! Did you get to chat with her and catch up?
I think Hell Boy had a crush. That's so sweet - lol.:)
I need to get facebook.

No. Way. OMG! What an awesome day for you!!! The picture is great - YOU are adorable:) I believe I have several pictures that look just like that!
I set up a FB account yesterday, and I had 21 friend requests in the first two hours. It's CRAZY!
Awesome story! I am seeing more of that kind of thing since I started my Facebook page.
Hellboy just loved you!
I think you should start a meme, and have everyone post their kindergarten photos!!!
Very cool! Great photo and story.
You know what it means when a boy chases you and pinches you don't you? He was MADLY in love with you! You were a cute Kindergartener. I totally dig your knee socks. I never looked that cool. Even when I was little!
