the "blog-a-sphere" just got smaller!
Well, I really havn't kept up with too many of my high school friends.. Angie Davis (formerlly Hernandez) and i "re-connected" a few years ago and have e-mailed back and forth quite a bit but thats pretty much the extent of it.. well, through some odd connections i found a good old friend CYNTHIA! Winward (formally Harrington) i'm posting about this because i mentioned this to the kids and they had the odd look on their faces like "you had a life BEFORE we were born??" so i went digging through my make-shift high school scrapbook (it's a 3 ring binder with pictures TAPED in with masking tape.. i know HORROR!)

This picture (on left) is of the Young women of the Chino 1st ward if you can pick me out, Cynthia is right next to me on the right (white shirt and blue pattern dress) and Angie is just below me in the red sweater.. of coarse Stephanie is also in the picture (3rd from the left in the black dress).. funny thing i remember about this picture.. Cynthia and I were both sick.. and i actually threw up in the temple!!! funny things you remember! i would be fearful to even guess what year this was.. but our ward was split in 1990 i think and i think this was right before the split


This one (pic to right) is of Cynthia and I at our Jr Prom (1991) it was a fun night.. the picture actually has both our dates in the picture (yea Ben was my date but it seemed weird to cut out her date and not mine) anyway fun times


Cynthia and i also did 4 years of seminary together, and hung out before school because both of our parents wouldn't take us home THEN take us to school... so we always got to school way early.. (at least before we all drove ourselves)..

another funny we actually got married on the same DAY!!! it was way back in the dark ages when all the Temples took the same holiday breaks and were open ONE day for people like us to get married.. so i'm sure several people were married on 12/27/94...

so why did we "drift" apart, i'm not so sure it was anything in particular.. i got a boyfriend and unfortunately i was a typical girl... my girlfriends kind of were secondary (not all together proud of that but it's what happened) and then she went off to byu and we both got married had kids and life happens! all good stuff for sure!!


Anyway it's been fun seeing her blog with her 3 kids.. very fun indeed. and see kids i did live before you!!!

Wow! That is always so exciting to reconnect with old friends! I loved seeing the pictures of you.. mostly because I knew almost everyone in the pictures! Look how young you were!!! (I don't mean for that to sound rude). Crazy what kids and life will do to us! How nice your boys could realize that you had a life prior to them! That was a great post Ky! ~Shannon
