HI-larious!
Last night, the bearded eye-roller and I were on the back porch talking about this and that, and the topic of high school years came up. He was talking about being in crew (that's rowing for those of you not 'in the know') and how it was really a good team sport for him, better than football even. He ended up going on to play college football, but his best memories are about crew.

Anyway, after it got dark, we came inside and looked at our yearbooks. In addition to my yearbooks, I pulled out a scrapbook of sorts, of mine. We didn't go through it because, well, it might have scared off my dear husband.

Why, you ask? Well, it's full of teen angst and crushes and whatnot. The content is so hilarious, that I thought I'd post bits and pieces of it over the weekend.

The book is called Treasures of Truth. It's something the girls in my church were given to record our thoughts and keep mementos from the time we're 12 through 18. Can you just imagine what is in there? Especially considering how weird I am now?

Yeah- you're right- SCARY stuff.

Enjoy going back in time to young angst-filled RisibleGirl over the next few posts.

I wish I had been in a Church like that when I was that age. I had no church. I might have been more in touch with who I was. I have NOTHING to go back to and read. I only remember tiny bits and pieces of those years. You sure had a great insight of yourself.
I remember I took myself too seriously, had no confidence, was terribly afraid of others, terribly shy. I would duck into the bathroom rather than say "hello" in the hallway to a cute guy.
Now I have that Church in my life, I have that confidence in the knowledge that I am a Child of God. It really makes a difference, I think.
You, RG are an amazing, complicated lady, and I love you.
