Angi,
Reading this post brought me back (waaaaay back) to when I was 16 and everything that surrounds that age. You've, once again, captured "the" photo moment and your way with words always amazes me! Our daughter, Emma, just turned 12... 16 seems like an eternity away, but who am I kidding, it's just around the corner, isn't it?
