in honor of remembering the good times from the good old days, here is a picture of my group from high school. i'll put up better ones later where you'll actually see people but this is us from afar, at 'the dunes,' or the beach at lake michigan. i don't know how we managed it but we all made it to the beach on the same day.

we took swing lessons together, we went on church trips together, we did mission trips and served Jesus together, we made stupid scavenger hunts through south bend for one another and the list goes on. how crazy. i miss those days. those were the good days. well, it's official, i'm old. i just said 'good days.'

from left to right: chris stutzman, me, meredith, yvonne, amber, jeff, breedlove, todd, johnny, aaron beeson, marty, eric malkowski & robbie. wow. i don't remember much about that day but i know i had fun. we were such a group. someone asked me if i had the chance, if i'd go back to high school. i wouldn't. i'm happy now. but there are days that i would. that group of friends was the greatest thing a girl could ask for in high school. sure it all came crashing down once the couples started breaking up (ha ha ha) but, that's how high school is. what, like 2% of people who date in high school get married. it just sucked that once the couples split, so did the group.

i've even thought about calling everyone and getting the group back together for a kind of reunion while we're all semi still in the same stage of life (pre-children) but i know it's a like a 1 in a milllion chance. 'so you're telllin me there's a chance'

long live one accord! WOO HOO!
