10 years ago....

I mentioned in a previous post that my ten year class reunion was this last Saturday. Since I wasn't able to go, I took my memory back in time a little, and here's some blasts from the past:

*If you turned on the radio you were likely to hear any of these songs:
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
I Don't Want To Miss a Thing - Aerosmith
I Want You Back - N*Sync
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) - Green Day
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion
Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are) - Pras Michel

*You might have watched some of these movies:
City of Angels
Romeo and Juliet (My favorite movie and soundtrack of senior year)
Titanic
Hope Floats
The Wedding Singer

*You might have been wearing:
Baggy Jeans
Doc Martens
Polo
Tommy Hilfiger
Tall socks (not a good time for fashion in my opinion)

I found one of my old memory books they gave us around graduation and I didn't write very much in it, but here are a few things:

*Best moments: Decorating the senior tree, Girls nights out, Cruising, Homecoming Court, Sadie Hawkins, Beating Baker @ Baker in Volleyball.

*Unforgettable moments: Cheerleading half-time show, Cheerleading squad helping host "Hot 9 @ 9 on 107.3 FM, Dying our hair on volleyball trips, State championship game for softball

*Where will I be in 10 years: An undercover FBI agent married to Leonardo DiCaprio. (What was I thinking?! As Riley pointed out, that just goes to show how out of touch with reality you are at that age)

*For class favorites I was voted: Best dressed, and All-American (whatever that meant)

*Favorite classes: Speech, Creative Writing


It is really funny to me to see how cheesy a lot of what I wrote really was. I had fun going back and looking at some pictures from my senior year.

This picture cracked me up. Who is the mystery guy that I cut out of the picture?! Was I that mad? Does anyone else have a picture like this?

My locker, usually looked like a bomb went off. And there usually weren't flowers in there. I wonder who those were from?

My sister's baptism

The most important part of graduation, getting the diploma

I also saved some of these:

Our class motto inside our graduation announcement was a line from "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd :

"If I leave her tomorrow

Would you still remember me?

For I must be traveling on now

'Cause there's too many places that I've got to see"

Pretty telling about our class, there were a lot of wanderer's and free spirits among us. :)

I think one of the best reasons my senior year was so great was because I did NOT have a boyfriend for the majority of it. I dated a few people, but mostly I was just playing sports, hanging with my friends, and having a blast. I wish I would have taken advantage of that time more before heading into the world of rent, bills, and car payments.

Doing this post has made me realize how fast time really passes us by. I wonder where I'll be in another ten years..................................
