OH THOSE MEMORIES! Midterms, your drivers exam and report cards made you shiver in your shoes the more you thought about it, but with just one thought of asking that special person out could have made you break into a clammy, cold sweat quicker than an ice-cube could melt over a burning fire. No one ever said that asking was easy, but it was a lot easier than sitting at home watching television with your parents wondering where you would have been right then if only you would have spoken up.

Parties proved to be a big get together for couples and friends as David Hansford and Brenda Dilly make a lasting memory for their scrapbooks. GIVING it his all.
