Blast from the Past.

So Arron told me I should join him in doing this blog thing.
We are both seniors now and will be GRADUATING this year!!

(a lovely picture of Arron, Me and our cucumber baby from Anatomy class)

So we will write a blog about every year of school from kinder- 12 before graduation.
One each month.
But there is less than 12 months till graduation so kinder-3 grade all have to be in one month.

I am extremely lazy and don't remember much so they will all be in 1 blog :D



Kindergarten 1998
South Shaver Elementary
Well I think it was 1998 correct me if I am wrong.
I have an older brother, Edward, he is around 5 years older than me.
We both attended the same elementary.
Edward's kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Burr.
My kindergarten teacher 5ish years later was Mrs. Burr.
Kinda cool huh
The building looked really new and white.
We had a wooden kitchen we could play in :]
I loved my teacher she was amazing.
To be honest I don't remember much more besides having cute bows in my hair
and my lunch money was kept in plastic film canisters.
I was adorable though
I don't remember crushes
I don't remember best friends
I don't remember anything besides the memories pictures give me.


But I do remember stuff from outside of school
I had just moved to a beautiful two story house
and across the street lived my best friend Hannah Fletcher.
Man I love that girl to death! We are still friends to this day.
and you may not think that its that big of a deal but keep on reading it will explain
the miracle that is our friendship.

First Grade 1999
South Shaver Elementary
I remember a bit more from this class than kindergarten.
My teachers name I don't quite recall.
It was Ms. Bsomething
She was a new teacher so my brother didn't have her.
This was the year my younger cousin/sister/bestfriend
Ana starting going to south shaver, she was in kindergarten.
This class was fun I remember having my school best friend Adrianna (I think)
My first crush was also in that class.
He had blonde hair, blue eyes and of course he was white. :p
He was a cutie I honestly don't remember anyone's names but I do remember his.
Berry, Barrie, Beary. I said I remember his name, not how to spell it.
I don't remember much, but I do remember a girl in my class cheated on her spelling test.
She got in so much trouble, it scared me so much that I never cheated on a test.
Still till this day I will not cheat on a test.

Second Grade 2000
South Shaver
Remember how I said my brother Edward also went to South Shaver
and we had the same teacher for kindergarten
It happened again.
Now I remember this teacher's name but I could not spell it to save my life.
So her name for today will be Mrs. W.
She Had a daughter named Taylor.
We were friends.
Adrianna had a different teacher than me for second grade so
we could only talk in the halls.
There was a girl in my class, she was a burn victim.
She didn't have many friends, I tried to be her friend.
She drove me nuts and she had Barbie shoes, which were no longer cool so she wasn't cool.
But my mom and dad taught me better than that.
I was a friend when I could be even though it wasn't popular. sigh.

Last thing I remember from that class was Junie B. Jones.
We started reading the whole collection of books in that class.
My mom bought me the whole collection (in time not at once)
I started to love reading more and more.

outside of school.
I have two older sisters.
Angel-ten years older than me, she was so extreamely cool she could drive and had a mustang
(I blame her for my obsession)
Melissa-eight years older than me. I swear I thought the sun shined out her butt!
(I later blamed her for a few anger issues)

Melissa was sooooo cool and Me, Ana and Hannah did whatever she asked us to.
She was smart and took advantage of this before we got older and smarter.
She dressed us up and took pictures... She taught us dances to backstreet boys

Angel was nice. She baby sat us, and played with us. she also recorded the videos of us dancing to she songs Melissa assigned for us. Later I found out that it wasn't just Melissa's idea.

Third Grade 2001
South Shaver Elementary
I remember this year well.
My teacher was Mrs. Knockhart (not sure on the spelling)
By the way this was also a teacher that Edward had years before.
She LOVED my brother, so all was well ;)

In the summer before school started My family visited Costa Rica.
Of course I loved it!
I got to go fishing, see my cousins and fun stuff like that.
We got back from vacation because the water damage didn't get to hit. and our house was destroyed from a tropical storm.
We all lived up stairs.
Mom
Dad
Angel
Melissa
Edward
Me.
Up stairs had Melissa, Angel's room and the play room.
The play room was amazing. It had mostly my toys in it because I was the only little kid left.
Everyone else was a teen ager or a "pre teen."
It was harsh.

I remember after being picked up and going to my dad's shop.
My dad was and is a carpenter.
He had been doing it for many years and owned a business.
My mommy would pick me up from school and we would shop by the shop first.
I wasn't a big fan of going, it was dirty.
But on the computers was this monkey named bonzie.
He would sing and stuff.
Oh man I loved it!

9/11
I don't think I really have to explain it.
I just remember hearing something bad happened.
People were dying.
Kids parents were taking them out of class and going home.
I couldn't understand what was happening. All I new was that
bad people killed good people.
Nothing made since. I just didn't get why they would hurt people.

No America wasn't the same after 9/11 but I was only in 3rd grade.
So Life went on for me, not in a disrespectful kind of way but in a I can't help it I'm
9 kind of way.

There was a boy named Daniel.
He wasn't cute, wore red sweaters and liked the rock.
I was not impressed.
He sat across the table from me.
He would "flirt" with me and I would kick his shins under the table.
I did not like this kid. I did not get what made him
think it was okay to like me. I didn't like him.
This went on all year.

Adrianna failed second grade.
Her and my cousin had she same teacher
Mrs. W. Adrianna and I started to part the closer she got to my cousin.
My best friend became Genesis.
I can't really tell you any stories about her.
I don't remember any.
But I do remember her.

I will never forget reading the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
It was my favorite book.
Mrs. Knockhardt read the book in class.
She was a good reader.
She taught me to love reading more than I already did.
I would go to my old kindergarten class and I would read books to them.
I went many times that year.

The year went on and I made more friends.
I was gonna have a pool party during the summer so everyone was nice to me.
They all wanted to be invited.

Summer came and we sold our house and daddy's business.
