The Highlight Reel

Well, guys, we made it. Grades are final and graduation is upon us! And I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I just thought here's as good a place as any to share it. :) I realize not many people will get the jokes or remember those times, but for me, and for Cambry, and for many of our friends, these three years at Orem High really were filled with some great times worth remembering.

Now, let's take all the fun times and go rock the Y! :D But before that, here comes the Highlight Reel (:
