Saturday is the start of the end. The end of my teenage years. It will be my last year as a teenager. Here are my teenage memories.
13: 7Th grade English class, Ms. Cox teaching. Neal Hovorka threw a paper dart at me, it landed directly into my tear duct, thus keeping it self sustained in my eye without pain. We kept it there for a couple minutes cause it was pretty cool!
14: Sitting on my parents bed, sobbing and hugging my family because we had just heard some terrible news about one of the greatest men to bless our family, the first time I had lost someone really close to me.
15: Soon to be a driver on the road, my friend Tyler Gaisford decided to teach me to drive a stick. I wrecked his T-bird! Totaled it! We lied to the cops so I would still be ably to get a license.We confessed the whole thing to our parents a week later. I got a $62 fine and a stern warning.
16: Having Carynn calling me in the middle of one of my classes to tell me to meet her downstairs, I went down not knowing what was going on. I found her in the hall her face smeared with tears, she hugged me, then told me that one of our friends had taken her own life the night before.
17: Was mentioned in the opening prayer of sacrament meeting, due to a head on collision I was involved in just outside the church. It happened right before church was to begin so the whole neighborhood saw Riley, his Dad, the Cops, and the wreckage as they were pulling in for church.
18: Moved away to college, found out a lot about myself, how I handle situations, and where I turn when I'm in need. Made a lot of new friends, and got called to serve in the LA California Spanish Speaking Mission for the LDS Church.
19: We'll just have to wait and see!!!

what about 17: life changed forever when Mike Burgoyne, the coolest bro-in-law in the world who showed me what it means to be a man, became a permanent part of the family? Or 13: Sister left for Italy for 18 months, but her wonderful, inspiring emails each week gave me the courage and motiviation to kepp getting up every morning? Hello???
Funny how these are all moments that stick out in my memory too. Except for the first one, of course.
I like the first one though! How did it stay in your eye? Knowing Ms. Cox, she probably didn't even notice and just kept talking in her thick southern drawl as if no one was listening. Probably because no one was.
Riley's teemage years are full of sadness and car accidents.... its gets better. i promise...:)
