10 years ago...

 
Drill camp, my senior year. 

 Our skit for Homecoming royalty
WOW
Kayson Gubler, Me, Mickell Hafen, and Bryson Westbrook

 Bonfire for Homecoming

 Painting the goal posts GOLD {with Bryson Westbrook} for the Homecoming game 

 Repelling on our day date for Homecoming 
Me and Josh Seumalu

 Pink Ladies for Halloween

 During football season we had "field practice" in the morning {in the wet and freezing cold} to practice our performances for the football games. This is what we looked like after.

 Drill competitions. We had so much fun!

 We traveled up to {Lehi, I think} for State Football Playoffs. It was freezing cold and snowing, and we performed our green day dance. I remember being really against it, and trying to convince the girls we shouldn't risk the injuries... haha! We ended up having a blast out there. {and everyone made it our alive}

 New Years Eve with just the girls {first time since middle school} Me, Jessica, and Hailey pulled an all nighter.

 I competed in the Miss Drill solo competition

 Our Novelty routine. "Checkmate"
It was darling {if I do say so myself} My mom along with some other wonderful Eshelle parents spent HOURS and HOURS preparing costumes and props for this dance. We got a standing ovation the first time we performed this for our school. I still remember the feeling. 

 Senior Ball with Chris Poole. We went to Vegas for our day date and ate at 
in n out burger. It was the first hamburger I'd had since middle school. My days as a "vegetarian" were then over. 

 My best friends in the whole world! 
{Hailey was at Canyon View's senior ball with Joe}

 Eshelle Review
The last time I'd perform in front of my school
{and I still miss it!}

 Yearbook signing...I like to think we haven't changed much, but we are pretty cute and young looking in these pictures!

 Graduation! Go class of 2001

 Grad night
{Chelsi got hypnotized...best show I've ever seen!}

Cruise to Encinitas and Catalina 

Not long after graduation I met this fella and we pretty much didn't leave each other's side.
Our first date was June 13, 2001

  Kawaii with my family 
{I remember talking to RJ a lot on this trip...he almost came with us!} 
My Grandma West also passed away while we were on this vacation.

It's fun to reminisce. I had forgotten so many of these fun things I did that Senior year of high school. It's such a fun time of life. Another blink of the eye and this will be Abbey and I'll be the Eshelle mom or the soccer mom spending my days making costumes or "good lucks"... Wish I could find that magical remote with the "pause" button. {and maybe the mute button too! haha}

Haha! Love these! I am a little jealous at how close you seem to have stayed with your High Scool friends. Me and mine have drifted away. My 10 year is this summer too. Can't wait to see everyone!

Thanks for the post rach. Its so fun to see pictures that you don't have yourself. And I didn't know you were a VEGETARIAN! I hope you were pressured into anything. :) Also do you remember when we went repelling and Jared sturm tore my pants all the way down to the floor. My whole backside was exposed... even the "granny panties". I still have no butt. Such a shame.
