Ashley Paige wrote a fabulous post this morning about who she was way back in high school. Since she and I graduated from that same all-girls Catholic high school 10 years ago {umm, no way are we that old} I thought it would be appropriate to do a post of my own!
First off I must put up a disclaimer. I have NO IDEA how Ashley Paige managed to find time to do all of those things. Please don't think I was any where near as ambitious as she was, because I wasn't, haha. Here is how I passed the time my four years.
1. I was a member of the French Club and the French Honor Society. Now that may sound fancy but we really only sat around watching French movies, going to see
Les Miserables on Broadway, and dining at some local French restaurants.
2. I was on a dance committee at one of the local boys schools. Our purpose was to organize a huge dance every year to raise money for Muscular Distrophy. It was a great cause and we did raise a substantial amount of money every year. But my bestie and I also got to go to the boys school during lunch every few weeks to sell tickets for it. There was NO way I would pass up an opportunity like that!
3. I was involved in one of the local churches youth group, but I'll be honest, it was mainly because that's where the boys were. {starting to notice a patten?}
4. I did have several jobs as well in high school. I babysat, worked for my dad's photo lab, and worked at a school uniform store. So not ALL of my time and energy was spent chasing boys...just most of it ;) Let's just say no one was really all that surprised that I was married at 22!
So who were you in high school? What activities kept you busy? And don't worry, before you go, I'll leave you with a few pictures I found on my computer....can you believe we didn't even have Facebook back then?!?! I'll have to break out the scanner sometime soon!

ReplyDeleteHAHA. Can we go back to high school? Seriously. I WOULD LEAVE TOMORROW... I miss that place SO much. "Do not fear to hope...." Yep. Definitely just sang that at the top of my lungs just now. In my kitchen. To my almost-EIGHT-month old...
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave to post pics! Well, not THAT brave, cause you're super cute :) But, still. I don't know if I'd have the guts!
ReplyDeletehahahahahahah!! I LOVE your mini-van & I also went to a Catholic school. If we wore our skirts that short, we would have gotten suspended. Yes, I speak from experience. lol.
ReplyDeleteyour legs are banging in the skirt girlie!! i might have to go dig out some pictures...
ReplyDeleteI really miss high school!!! Ohhh remember the french classes, and the long talks about the boy at the time?? ahhhh memories! and dont worry ashley i randomly break out into that song!!
ReplyDeleteI also went to a Catholic high school and had to wear a skirt to school. Like you, mine was usually too short! Oh, those were the days, huh?
ReplyDeleteI graduated in 01 also... planning our 10 year reunion for this summer... yup, we're getting old!!!! : )
ReplyDeleteYou were way more involved than I was in high school! Seriously you put me to shame! Somedays I really think it would be so much fun to go back to high school! But only if I can know what I know now! Ha!
