Lehi High


1.Did you marry someone from High School? Nope, not even from the same state.
2.Did you carpool to school? I rode with my friend Cindy once in a while, but mostly drove myself.
3.What kind of car did you have? An ugly blue Citation
4.What kind of car do you have now? Chrysler Town and Country
5.It's Friday night, where were you ....(then)? Always at the football and basketball games. I never missed!
6.It's Friday night, where are you.....(now) ? Friday is usually the day we go visit my in-laws so the kids can see Grandma and Grandpa. We usually make dinner with them and then just hang out afterwards. We have a good time with them.
7.What do you do now? Laundry, dishes, scrub toilets, change diapers--you know, grown up Mom things. I wouldn't trade it for anything!
8.Were you a party animal? Nope, I was pretty boring--afraid to come out of my shell I guess. I had a lot more fun in college!
9.Were you considered a flirt? Don't think so. There were only a few boys I would have like to have flirted with, but again--too shy. I was wimpy.
10.Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Can't carry a tune, so I was in band through my Sophomore year. The band program sucked so I didn't do it after that.
11.Did you get suspended or expelled? No way--I was an angel!!!
12.Can you sing the fight song? Sure can!
13.Who were your favorite teachers? That's easy--Mrs. Russell, Mrs. P. and Mr. Jacobsen
14. Where did you sit during lunch? Usually in Cindy's truck. We didn't stick around much for lunch. We would go to Kohler's and buy a bagel and a Dr. Pepper and then just drive around. If I didn't go with Cindy, I sat in the commons area with some of my other friends.
15. What was your schools full name? Lehi High School
16.What was your school mascot? Pioneers
17.If you could go back and do it again, would you? Probably not. I often comment that I am so glad I am not 16 any more. Too much drama for me. I like where I am!
18.What do you remember most about graduation? Not much really. I don't think I paid much attention to the program. I just remember the crowd afterwards while I was trying to find my family. I mostly remember the all night party at the High School afterwards. That was a ton of fun!
19.Who did you go to prom with your senior year? Didn't go, and was somehow not sad about that. Went with Bjorn Olsen my junior year.
20.Did you have fun at your senior prom? If I had gone, and with someone I liked, I am sure I would have.
21.Do you still talk to the person you went to prom with? Nope
22.Are you planning on going to your 20 year reunion? Maybe if I live close. Not going to make some fantastic journey to get there.
23.Do you still talk to people from High School? A couple, but mainly people from college.
I tag everyone who reads this. Have fun!

Halloween

My kids were thrilled when they found out Trick-or-treating was going to happen 3 nights in a row for them. I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of the first 2 nights, but I did of Halloween night. Anyway, Wednesday was our ward's trunk-or-treat and we had a blast! They had a nice sit-down dinner at 6:00 and then at 7:00 we headed outside for the trunk or treat and a carnival. Mark was dreading this part as they had asked the bishop to be in the dunking booth. It was really cold that night so he was worried about getting sick. But the leaders in charge were good sports and warmed up the water for him. The kids loved dunking him! McKenna didn't hit the target so she just ran up and pushed it and down dad went! She thought that was the best thing ever! Jacob actually nailed the target fair and square and laughed uncontrollably when Mark hit the water. He thought he was something else. Kaitlyn just watched and laughed the whole time. It was a fun night and no, Mark didn't get sick!

On Thursday, we went to my in-laws so they could see the kids costumes. We only went to visit 4 other relatives that night, but boy did the kids get loaded up! And then of course Friday was the real deal and we invited some friends of ours over and went through the neighborhood. Kaitlyn's bag was so heavy she couldn't even carry it. We have WAAAAAY too much candy in this household. After that we went out for pizza and stuffed our face at a buffet bar of every kind of pizza imaginable. When we came home, the kids just crashed. They were exhausted! Everyone had a great holiday and thanks mom for making the Dorothy costume and the bags!
