I think I am at the age where I finally welcome those "blasts from the past" moments both in person (and via the wonder that is facebook). I have been becoming reacquainted with friends from childhood, high school, college, married years, dating years, pretty much every year and stage of my life. I used to live as a newlywed in the same town I grew up in and used to walk down the isle in the grocery store and retreat when I saw someone from my stupid days that I was always sure I offended. Silly thinking, I know.
For 20+ years I thought I hated high school with a passion, but today I see what good came of it. Now I have friendships and treasured relationships with people from that very place that I would not trade for the world. The joy of adulthood is that we move on, forget, forgive, and get sappy and sentimental about things easier. It has been very fun for me to play catch up with them and it has actually helped me to appreciate all the things I went through in life. I like to look at it as coming full circle and making peace... man, was it worth the wait.
I am proud to say I was a:
Martell Mustang
Boulan Bronco
Troy Colt (on dance team we were the "Fillies")
Ricks College Viking

Our girls are Martell Mustangs. I love this school. Mrs Poff is still here. She is no longer the librarian but one of the 3rd grade teachers. With in the last year has become very involved in Family history work. I am hoping Emma gets her next year.
Wow, I love this, and I agree 1000%. I also thought I hated high school, but I have such fond memories now. Facebook is a bit of a miracle, isn't it? :)
