High School

A few weeks ago was our 10 year high school reunion. I can't believe I've been out of school for 10 years... (although A LOT has happened in the last 10 years!). Austin and I have been going through our yearbooks seeing who can remember who's name without looking. I have great memories from high school. I loved my friends and I wish we all could have met up for the reunion... (hopefully someday soon). We weren't able to go because we went to AZ a few weeks prior to the reunion b/c of the hurricane. I need to take time to keep in touch with old friends... I REALLY STINK at it! Anyways, I thought it'd be fun to post some pictures to reminisce our good ol' high school days.

1995: I remember this picture was taken right after flag practice in the morning.
Yes, I was a flagger. I had fun and made good friends.. namely Tara and Debbie (2 more friends I NEED to get a hold of!) Do you see me? (man... I'm missing my tan!) (4th one from the left)

Austin: I love this picture! It just makes me smile.
1996
Austin:
Koni:
1997
Koni: This was the longest I've ever had my hair. (although it's about that long right now. )
Found this in my yearbook: Austin always calls me "stinky" to this day. I guess he's seriously always thought I was stinky. ??? And I guess the "exuberant experiences" were our french class experinces together and let me tell you there was nothing "exuberant" about it! I despised that class and Madame Teacher (I won't name).
Austin: (2nd line)
1998
Austin:
Koni: I guess somebody thought I was hot! ha ha! ;) (I don't even know who wrote that)
Here he is. This is how I remember Austin being in High School. Everybody knew him and loved him. He made everybody laugh!
See... everybody loved him so much that he was voted Homecoming King!
I thought this was fun seeing. This was written by a Freshman on the flagline. I had forgotten that Austin called me "Special K" in high school.
o.k. I found this a few years AFTER we were married. It's a note he wrote me in seminary. It's funny that I kept it!!! (I think this proves that I did have the hots for him in h.s.) :)

Just for the record, Koni never smelled funny...I'm not sure why I wrote that, but I think I thought it was funny.
