Yes

I can't believe it's been 10 years! It doesn't seem that long ago since we were roaming the halls of the old EHS. I'm really excited to get back in touch with lots of folks I haven't spoken to in years.

After we graduated I promptly moved to Murray, KY and attended Murray State University for about 6 years- on and off. I loved living in Murray and could always count on running into Beas and Raegan Campbell. I finally got my Bachelors of Science in Agriculture (what else would I major in?) and moved to Mayfield, KY. So now I'm about 30 minutes south of Paducah.

I've been substitute teaching these last few months for Graves County Schools- mostly at the high school. It's much different than when we were in school!! And I'm probably the "mean" sub because I make them do all the work their teacher left- but I do try and give them 10 minutes free time at the end of class to listen to their ipods. YES- they listen to ipods and text on their phones all the time!

It's a little weird, I guess, when I think of high school because all my memories happened in (mostly) buildings that were torn down. Like our 4 grouchiest (haha) teachers all in one hall- King, Upchurch, Smith and Pearson!? Pearson yelling at everyone to be quiet out in the hall in the morning- especially if Nate was having another birthday!!!

I remember driver's ed with Mr. Pollock- who really didn't trust me to drive very good. What about dances in our cave of a cafeteria?? Or dances in the "old" gym? Mrs. Stevens and Mr. Baird for P.E.- having a good gym partner who lied about how many laps you did for the final!

Who can forget us as freshmen beating everyone at the Pep rallies? We were so cool...
Homecoming- a whole week where we pretty much goofed off everyday to do either relay races or talent contests or something. Schools don't hardly do that anymore.

So many good (and bad) memories....
