My decade in review - 2000

*There are supposed to be pictures with this post, however, something has gone wrong with my printer. His name might be Bill (love you honey:). But really, we can't get it to even scan. Wish me luck and disregard my notes on inserting pictures. They are really for later.

At the start of 2000, I was hanging out at a church youth function (must have been a Saturday or Sunday night) watching a Mormon movie that was really big at the time, but I no longer remember what it was. I was not very worried about Y2K.


I finished up my last gymnastics season at U-High. I placed first on beam once. I finally "lettered." I'd spent 6 years with my coach Stacey. It was her last season too. (Insert pictures). I also finally got to attend the big basketball and wrestling matches against our rival Central Valley (always was at gymnastics). I'm only thinking about it because I wish I still had the t-shirts.


I was never a big dance person, but had some great experiences this year - especially prom. We went to Marrakesh, sat on poufs and ate with our hands. In our prom dresses :) We had pictures at Mantio park. I guess the dance was fun. Smores at Heathers house afterward were better.(pictures)


I graduated high school! (pictures), worked my mall job. That puts us at about July. Through that first half of the year I had investigated the LDS church. I joined the day I turned 18 (pictures).


In September I moved out to Cheney and started college. I lived in the dorms - with a roommate who I had NOTHING in common with. I still remember being stared at by a couple of girls the first time I walked into the LDS Institute building. Way to make a new member feel welcome nameless people. I made friends with a girl Michelle, who was in my dorm and went to my church. I think the only thing that kept me going to church was institute. I loved it there. College started out good. 2000 ended pretty well.

  1. Its funny you mention our Senior year being the first year you went to the Big Basketball game. Me too! What is crazy, when looking back, is that I have been to WAY MORE high school basketball games this year alone then I ever did when we were at U-Hi. Totally crazy. Oh, and you know the gymnastics shirt you sold, maybe not our Senior year, I still wear it :O) Can you belive our 10 year is this summer?? Crazy!

  2. Wow - I completely forgot about selling those shirts. I miss all of my shirts/gym stuff. I've got the shirt/sweater from my last year. I didn't know that was the only Stinky Sneaker you made too! I thought that BB game was AWESOME. I had such a good time. I remember thinking - should've done this every year. Did you go to Battle of the Bone? I think senior year was the one year I went to several sporting events. Go figure. Something about being a senior. I'm sure you've been to many more bb games now! Ah - memories :)
