questions from Tori
i'm going to answer some question from my cool niece (and friend!) Tori in this post :)
high school memory i'll never forget...
hmm, there are a lot of FUN memories. i went to CHS when you didnt have to be smart to go there. magnet was an option and of course i opted out of that mess!
(no offense to all y'all that work ridiculously hard at CHS but my magnet and AP friends worked like animals in high school and i laughed/played for 4 years and we sat right next to each other in college...thats all i'm saying...)
mmk. back to memories.
i wasn't really "cool" or popular. i just was kinda there in high school :) i was in JSD and DSD at CHS. which totally makes me laugh. my friend megan and i thought it was ridiculous but we stayed in. i never went to parties. i went to some meetings which were completely assassin. people "voting" on who should be let in....haha you cant be serious. and ps - how did i make the cut???
i hope i'm not offending anybody saying all that.
i enjoyed high school. it didn't bother me to not be in the "in crowd." i guess bc i had solid friendships outside of school and SUPER fun friends at school. i'll get to them later...
i'm not trying to sound like i was perfect in high school. i wasnt. i am SO thankful that God snagged my heart early and helped me understand that this was just a season of my life and that i shouldnt change WHO I AM to be "cool" to people i would most likely not see after graduation.
i am so thankful i didnt compromise my morals for the sake of popularity.
let me say that making good choices didn't mean life was easy! sure, i had moments when i was jealous of my friends who were: super thin, beautiful, popular, cheerleaders, had all the male attention, etc. that certainly was appealing at times.
i sat at home often on the weekends bc i didn't want to be involved with drinking/partying/unhealthy relationships. that was hard. i felt betrayed by God at times.
BUT thankfully i kept my focus on Christ. my family and youth group.
this may sound strange...but i believe God totally guarded my heart for those 4 years. i dont know how to explain it. i was a chunky girl (yes i weighed 171 when i graduated.) i had huge glasses and honestly somehow had more self-esteem than i do now.
i feel like the weight and glasses kept me from even trying to be the IT girl. lawd, i knew i wasnt going to be haha. so i just enjoyed life. laughed, loved, focused on being a good friend and daughter, etc. the world wasn't even "tempting" to me.
sadly, when i lost weight and kinda grew out of my funk...i began to chase ungoldy idols. i hate that. i wasted years of my life caring about fleshy things. i am so thankful i didnt spend my high school years (and even college!) chasing the lies of the enemy.
lets talk about FUN memories....
JAKE COLSON. i cant talk about high school without him. he is my favorite memory from high school. all together!! that joker made me laugh, helped me feel comfortable being who i was, and was a solid friend to me.
we hung out a lot. he was "cool." he was the big football player, etc. but he was my friend. and so much fun. he didn't get caught up in being popular. he was just nice.
we spent a lot of time at his house. i remember skipping school one day. (not sure if our parents knew or not...) but he, our friend Ben (i called him benji) and i laid around all day and watched wheelchair basketball. i have no idea why. but we would laugh when they would stand up and shoot. we couldn't figure out how that was legit. Ben's last name is beach. and he made "beach-a-roni" that day. so fun. so yummy.
i remember playing a card game almost everyday in 6th period. it was yearbook so of course we didn't do anything. i cant remember the name of the game. ba-ha? anyway, we loved it and were obnoxious with it.
i am thankful for friends like jake, ben, neil, felicia worthen, jeremy abney, shannon cummings, megan sheets, and others that loved me for ME. they didnt care what i looked like ha! they just loved me :)
(those were school friends. i'm leaving out tons of others and tons of church friends!)
felicia and jake - do you remember "EXCUSE ME...PUT MY JACKET DOWN?" one of the best moments ever.
oh wait. gabe garcia - do you remember when one teacher (who will remain nameless but ran a lot...cough cough) was trying to fuss at us in class one day but had snot all over his face and kept smearing it as he fussed? it only made us laugh harder.
hillary - remember when mrs whitt made us put our heads down for laughing nonstop and then Gabe slid that picture of coach whitt in super short shorts and a headband under are arms and made us laugh even more? yeah we got kicked out for that.
oh jake - remember when we threw your timberland boots and bookbag out of the third story window and dr shehane came up and fussed? he said he saw it fly by his window. awesome.
jake - remember being santa claus at the mall that christmas? i think a kid peed on your leg. oh what about having to go to auburn and have an MRI in the "cow" machine bc you were too big for a normal one?! hahaha.
freshman year prom - kevin brown brushed his hair with a lint brush at the river club AND took pictures with his zipper down. perfect.
heck if i know how but i did date in high school :) so i remember having a lot of fun at proms and in fun relationships. just easy. no drama.
i'm totally leaving out ALL church memories and church friends. thats a whole other blog. but be warned...amy, danielle, rob, brad, jory, kevin, erin, tricia, hillary, katie etc. i'm sharing our stories soon!
the RUNNING MOB. oh yes.
