2006-2007: Young and Careless


2006-2007: 9th Grade + Summer = the best year of my life.

It was THE year
Friends - all single and having fun.  
Boy crushes
Code names for the boys we loved most, including "starburst" and "sprite."
Endless games of "Baby Do You Love Me?" - the best excuse to flirt
          I will never forget the time when Zach Musgrave sexily unzipped his jacket while saying in his "man" voice, "Baby, do ya love me?" when trying to get me to smile as I replied, "I love ya baby, but you just can't make me smile."  Naturally, I lost that round.

And oh, the simple days when holding hands with the opposite sex was the biggest deal in the world, we weren't into makeup yet, friends mattered more than romantic relationships, and we all belonged.

 We were the center of the universe.

We were young and careless.  Nothing mattered more than our friendships.  And Kristy Findley, our beloved friend, was still with us <3
