Luke's Homework
Due to the fun weekend we were a bit behind in school. On Tuesday Luke told me he was late on his "Celebrate Me" poster for school. That night we sat down at the computer to print out pictures for his poster and during that time Sophie colored, taped and cut up his posterboard. Luke was SO UPSET. I left the kids with Timmy and Luke and I made a quick trip to Wal-Mart to buy a new poster so he could do his homework. Needless to say it was a late night of homework for us.

You haven't changed a bit....
So I joined Face book yesterday (I know I'm totally behind the times) and it's been crazy because I am getting back in touch with people I haven't talked to in 18 years. That's right most everyone from high school I haven't seen since graduation back in 1990. However they all keep saying "you haven't changed a bit".
Do I really look the same???

Flashback Friday - High School Tag
I saw this tag on Lindsay's blog last week and thought it would be a fun one to do.
1. Did you date someone from your High School?
Nope. I didn't date until I got to the Y – and boy did I have fun making up for the missed high school years.
2. What kind of car did you drive?
A brown datsun 210. What a car too. My oldest brother George bought it before his mission then it got passed down (I'm #4) when you stopped you had to keep one foot on the clutch (it was manual) and the other foot on the brake and gas at the same time or it would die. It also had some battery problems occasionally which would require a quick wiggle with a screwdriver (which I kept in the glove box) and it would shock you sometimes when the car would finally start. Yep, we had to drive this peach of a car to the prom because the other cars were all in the shop. George washed and waxed it and it looked worse when the dirt wasn't covering up the scratches on the outside. So many great memories with that car.
This was the only picture I could find of my car - see the prom question below to see why George is helping Denise into my car.
3. What was the most embarrassing moment of High School for you?
I don't get embarrassed to easily – but it was probably when I was walking up to the front of Psychology to turn in my test and got my shorts pulled down. I pulled them up and kept walking like nothing happened. Or when they were announcing cross country results on the loud speaker one day and they called me “Gil Schultz” instead of Kathy because Sherry told them that's what I liked to be called. (someday I'll have to do a post on that nickname)
4. Were you a party animal?
No. I was one of the few Mormons in my school and everyone knew that I was Mormon and didn't drink, chew, smoke, etc. I went to the parties after the football and basketball games but never partied.
5. Were you considered a flirt?
Nope.
6. Were you in Band, Orchestra, or Choir?
I played the clarinet my freshman year to get my music credit but didn't have to be in the “band” since I was on the drill team. Then I didn't play again after freshman year. Good thing everyone in my family made fun of me when I practiced, even Sheba (our German Shepard) would howl so I never practiced.
7. Were you a nerd?
No. I got good grades, but I wasn't a nerd. You might think so reading that I didn't date, got good grades and didn't party. But I was never a nerd.
8. Were you on any Varsity teams?
Yes. I ran Cross Country (2 years), Track (1 year), Drill Team (2 years) and I even got a varsity letter for grades (lame).
I posted these pictures a while back...but they fit well with this post so I threw them back in.
Freshman Year
Sophomore Year
9. Did you ever get suspended/expelled?
Nope. I was such a good kid in H.S. I think I got detention once for tardies.
10. Can you still sing the fight song?
I don't think my school had a fight song...do any of you siblings of mine remember one?
11. Who were your favorite teachers?
I can't for the life of me remember their names...my Biology teacher (he was hot and just out of college), my Trig and Pre-Calc teacher (Mrs. Bell maybe?). I hated my Algebra teacher!
12. Where did you sit during lunch?
We had a closed campus so we had to stay at school. I just sat with my friends. There was really nothing special about lunch at FHHS - unless you include the lunch money story (this will need to be it's own flashback post someday).
13. What was your school's full name?
Francis Howell High School
14. School mascot?
The Vikings
15. Did you go to Homecoming? With who?
Sophomore Year. I went with a big group.
Junior Year. Group again...remember I didn't date!
Senior Year. I went with Budge Tungate.
Sara and I before the dance.
Budge, Duane, Danny (my bro) and Alex
(do those guys look awesome or what).
Can you believe I doubled with my younger brother to homecoming and my older brother to prom? At least they were never my dates :)
16. If you could go back and do it again, would you?
Sure. Everyone needs to go to high school. I didn't love or hate high school it was just part of my life. If you asked me this about college I would say “heck yea!” I loved college.
17. What do you remember most about graduation?
Graduation was lame for me because I graduated a semester early and came back just to walk so it wasn't anything special. I do remember the guy who sat next to me (can't remember his name) was a big jock and he wanted to wear my honor society ropes so I let him.
Every year on the last day of school we had a huge shaving cream fight.
18. Where did you go Senior Skip Day?
I was in Paris for senior skip day, and senior prom, and the whole second semester of my senior year.
How do you like the sweet pegged jeans and Reebok high tops I'm sporting in Paris?
19. Were you in any clubs?
Honor society and DECA
20. Have you gained some weight since then?
I graduated from high school at 106 pounds – what do you think?
21. Who was your Prom Date?
Prom...seeing as I didn't date in High School I hadn't gotten asked yet my mom decided to set me up. Set me up! Yep, I went on a blind date to the prom my Junior year. I don't even remember his name (Mike maybe) and I have no pictures with him. Obviously it was a memorable date. The best part is that my neighbor asked George (who was already home from his mission) to the prom. So I doubled with my RM brother, we drove the brown datsun and I had to climb into the back seat of a 2 door car with my blind date that my mom set me up with!!!
George and I before prom. I have several pictures of us together and none with my date. Ha ha!
22. 10 year Reunion? Are you planning on going?
My 10 year was a long time ago and I didn't go. My 20 year is coming up in 2 short years and I doubt I'll go that either. I hear the reunions are just a bunch of drunk people none of whom I have kept in touch with. So it's not very tempting.
23. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself?
I would do high school the same so I don't know what advice I would give myself. Maybe I could tell myself to keep running cross country so that I could be a faster runner now that I'm older.
1. Did you date someone from your High School?
Nope. I didn't date until I got to the Y – and boy did I have fun making up for the missed high school years.
