Ode to Betsy



Elizabeth is my bestestestestestest friend in allllll the world. She's the best. And i mean it. if i ever named a child after someone, it'd be Betsy. I was kinda {hold the kinda} loser in Jr high. i didn't really have great or true friends and i was sincerely worried about starting high school because of it. I knew Betsy since seventh grade {when she didn't come to my party i invited her to! :P and that i always remind her about!} but we weren't really more than acquaintances till the last day of JR high.


it makes me happy that i took pictures that day. i was too lazy to find them on my external hard drive so i took pictures of pictures. sorry for the uber bad quality!
i wrote in my journal- "after that i spent the rest of the time in Mr crows class. These girls, sara, betsy, and sandi were there too. Mr crow says he is only 61 but i think he is 66. no one knows for sure. anyways, we got put in these wooden things where your head and arms are in the holes. like olden day prison things i guess. i don't remember what they are called, but it was fun!"

haha. i was such a dork!

it's incredibly weird to wonder what would have happened if we wouldn't have had that random last day of school in Mr. Crow's class.

I can't really think of
