This is the only photo where I know I'm 19. It's not good quality, but will have to do.
We are just doing an avatar - but a lot of us did a full sized page and just sized it down for the avatar. Your choice~!
Wow-gotta love those gloves!This was a fun challenge. Thank you! Here is me in approximately 1999- I was 19 years old.
Such a lovely avatar! Enjoy the party! 
Okay, my avatar is FINALLLLLLY updated, sorry for the lack of Bday stuff IN the avatar, I honestly don't have time to work on that right now, busy with a few deadlines. I didn't even take the pic out of the frame, I just wiped off the glass with a tissue and took a pic with my phone. The HUGE size that my phone camera takes shows a bunch of blue in my black shirt, but it looks like it being shrunken down worked out okay. Just pretend I was wearing navy blue...and I decided to leave Tim in it since @Amandajk has such a SWEET photo with her hubby 
In this photo, little baby Joshua (my first born) is still in my tummy 
I don't know the exact date that this was taken, but it was for sure mid 1995 and I had Joshua in December of 1995. I DO remember after this photo was taken at Kmart, we went and ate some chicken in the food court of Kmart and I also enjoyed a blue slushie there. I ended up PUKING blue chicken in a trash can in the covered "hall" that surrounded the strip mall 
Such wonderful memories....
Morning sickness is NOT FUN
Edited to add that this pic IS me at 19, I think I turned 20 shortly after it was taken...my son is exactly 20 years younger than me, my oldest daugher, 21 years younger, and my youngest daughter is 30 years younger...she was a BIG surprise and all four of us enjoyed our lives even more because of her being born after I thought we were done having kids
She is 19 now....UGH...and still looks like she is 12 to me and her big sis...lol I will be 50 on August 4th...time seriously flies by WAY TOO QUICKLY

HA! Funny story about the blue chicken, Jenn! My Mark loves those blue slushies, too! Love your image! My first husband's name was Tim, too! He was only 62 when he passed from cancer. He loved slushies, too, but he didn't care what flavor they were!Okay, my avatar is FINALLLLLLY updated, sorry for the lack of Bday stuff IN the avatar, I honestly don't have time to work on that right now, busy with a few deadlines.
