A Walk Down Memory Lane...

All about High School!

1. DID YOU DATE SOMEONE FROM YOUR SCHOOL? I dated lots of guys in high school...almost always older than me. I tried flirting my best with Ben, but he never really asked me out til after his mission.
2. WHAT KIND OF CAR DID YOU DRIVE? A silver Monte Carlo...the Silver Bullet. It was a boat, but good memories were made in that car!
3. DID YOU PASS YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE TEST YOUR FIRST TRY? Yes, mom checked me out of school that morning and we went in on my birthday. I remember reading the manual on the way into the DMV & wanting to drive home on the way back. Mom wasn't up for that, but we did practice in the church parking lot. Okay, maybe that was for my permit.
4. WHERE YOU A PARTY ANIMAL? Not so much.
5. WERE YOU CONSIDERED A FLIRT? I don't really know. Probably not since I couldn't get Ben to ask me out!
6. WERE YOU IN BAND, ORCHESTRA, OR CHOIR? Of course not. But my mom could tell exactly how my dates went depending on what I played on the piano when I got home!
7. WERE YOU A NERD? I was friends with everyone, nerds included, so that probably made me a nerd. I don't know, I was probably labeled more with the jock-preppy types.
8. WERE YOU ON ANY VARSITY TEAMS? Yes...I made Varsity softball as a freshman and played throughout high school. I also lettered in volleyball, I think my sophomore through senior years.
9. DID YOU EVER GET SUSPENDED/EXPELLED? No... I was a goody-goody and felt guilty skipping on Senior Skip Day!
10. CAN YOU STILL SING THE FIGHT SONG? Come on Newberg Tigers, let's go!!! Or somethin' like that. I still remember several of the cheers from high school football/basketball games.
11. WHO WERE YOUR FAVORITE TEACHERS? My fav. teacher of all time was in middle school, Miss Mac. I had her for 3 years in a few subjects and she was also my coach for volleyball & basketball. In high school it was prob. Sinkbeil, my math teacher. April and I were always cracking jokes with him.
12. WHERE DID YOU SIT FOR LUNCH? I guess I wasn't too much of a goody goody cuz April and I snuck off campus as freshmen every day. I don't ever remember eating in the cafeteria. We normally just went to my house which was 2 min. away, but sometimes we'd go out for fast food with friends.
13. WHAT IS YOUR SCHOOL'S FULL NAME? Newberg High School
14. WHAT IS YOUR SCHOOL'S MASCOT AND COLORS? The Tigers....blue and gold
15. DID YOU GO TO HOMECOMING AND WITH WHO? I went with Nate two years in a row, he was really nice and it was my first dance/date. I also went with Jeremy and Cody, I believe.
16. IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN WOULD YOU? Maybe. If I could do things differently I would have continued to play basketball as a JR & SR (I quit b/c I sprained my ankle at the end of volleyball and wanted to work part time) & do a redo on my prom experiences for sure!)
17. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER MOST ABOUT GRADUATION? Hmm... someone popped out of the aisle to take our picture (me & April) and we thought it was hilarious...like paparazzi. I think they tried to stop us from throwing our caps, but we did anyway. I remember it was hot and at the college in our home town, George Fox. My parents surprised me and gave me jewelry and we all went out for Chinese before hand. I had no idea graduation was such a big deal.
18. WHERE DID YOU GO SENIOR SKIP DAY? We went to Hagg Lake.
19. WERE YOU IN ANY CLUBS? Key Club, sports, SR class VP.
20. HAVE YOU GAINED SOME WEIGHT SINCE THEN? I def. gained weight through college, lost it after Ben & I were married, and have been up and down ever since babies came along. I'm probably pretty close to the same size, although I can't seem to get rid of my dreadful muffin top...I didn't even know what that was in high school!
21. WHO WAS YOUR PROM DATE? My best high school boyfriend, Ryan, was in college and didn't want to take me my JR year. He thought it would be weird going back to our high school prom, so I didn't go! My friend from German class, Sam, asked me my SR year and it was a disaster! But really funny now.
22. ARE YOU PLANNING ON GOING TO YOUR 10 YEAR REUNION? Did... kind of. There was a bigger one over the summer that I missed, but we got together over Christmas that year at a bar. It was really fun actually. Everyone who came seemed really happy and most had changed for the better.
23. DID YOU HAVE A JOB IN HIGH SCHOOL? Yes, I worked at a pizza shop...Papa Murphy's Take & Bake. We called it the pit, but it was a good job for that time in my life. 3 of my 4 brothers ended up working there after me.

I tag: Mon, Robyn, Jen, Chrissy, Cindy & Kelly...have fun!
