I remember...the last 10 years!

So I decided to post some things that I remember about the last 10 years of my life....just to reflect. I can't belive that this year is 10 years since high school graduation...crazy!

I remember....

driving to college for the first time with my Mom and sisters in my RX7. My Mom cried a lot and I did too, but not until after they left.

meeting Summer, my first room mate...oh man I am sort of glad to forget

Saturday movie days

Quincy bowling and mall time

watching soccer games

watching baseball games

imagining the day I would get to turn the bell over and the realization that it was not going to happen

midnight breakfasts

staying up until 1:00 in the morning making posters and hanging them all over town for Matt's birthday...the same night I found out that my friend's Dad used to be related to my Dad...crazy!

So much has happened! So many fun memories! I don't think I knew you imagined flipping the bell ;) Is your high school having a reunion? Will it be while you're home?
I'm still debating going to mine...

Yeah I kind of kept that bell thing to myself. Don't want everyone to know about that one! I am not sure about my high school reunion. I don't even know if they have my correct address on file. But I doubt it is while I am home...we will see! I actually have a lot of high school friends on facebook now, so it might be fun to go....
