Good friends from Jr High....

This set of pictures isn't complete by any means, but I finally pulled out some old pictures to scan and wanted to share them. These are a few friends I have many great childhood memories of/with. I will pull out a few more later. So many favorite lindsay memories...Our first encounter as friends was a drive in movie theater in her family suburban and her falling asleep super early. The many nights my mom called hers to see if I could stay the night there. The trip to Lake Powell before my family moved away. The sleepovers, playing with barbie dolls even though we were probably too old. Jumping on the tramp. Making up dances, baking no bake cookies, playing night games around the block. Passing notes in school. It was a huge blessing in my life to have her be one of my first friends in Arizona. Its amazing to read her blog and see where life has taken her and to see her beautiful children. Can't wait to meet them all someday. I want to say the last time we spoke was a few years ago when I lived in SLC and needed advice on life. Thanks for putting up with my craziness and giving some much needed advice. Love remembering times at your house and lessons learned.

I think I must've met kelli while playing softball. So much fun to sit on the bus and talk with her. Playing sports and of course passing letters. I could always count on kelli to have a pretty decent long note after her super long bus ride to school. My first room roommate after graduating high school. She helped me get my job at Denny's and have a blast living on my own for the first time. Crazy times with parties and life. Too bad I didnt stick around for too long. Loved all that I've learned from this chica. love ya kelli!

Mark and Me

oh markis markis markis.... Good memories with him too. Playing monopoly on the computer. Having his mom and sisters take me out after he went to scouts. Being the only TWO in our sunday school class. taking walks around the block just to chat. phone calls after i moved and letters to keep in touch even if it was maybe one a year... oh and the phone call in december to say happy birthday to each other always puts a smile on my face. Being able to hang with his fam and feel a part of the buch all of the time was always awesome. Thanks mark for being a good friend.

Texas here I come....

Hopefully my next blog will be from San Antonio :) or maybe Houston....

OKLAHOMA

Went to go see my brothers in the high school musical.
OKLAHOMA
I thought they did a good job on painting the back wall and the sets were pretty cool. My phone only took this semi decent picture. I tell ya, its just not convenient to have any other kind of camera. I'm getting a new phone on tuesday though with a better camera.

Justin was so funny to watch on stage. Such a HAM... Loved watching him dance and just make himself at home on stage. Pretty proud of him that he had a part with some lines too.

And this is Jeromy. The one who wishes I was younger or he was older cause then, who knows...maybe then he could really be in the family. He is a super good friend of Jordan and Justin.

Jordan! LOVE YA! It was so much fun to get to hear Jordan sing a solo on stage. And all the dancing and things. I just can't handle any of these boys with soo much make up on though. I hate stage make up.

Awww Alex is so cute. She was the student director this year. AND my favorite thing is that this dress she wore was the one I WORE when I was in Oklahoma in 1997. (my sophomore year) My mom made it. When we were cleaning stuff out my mom found the box with my costumes in it. I showed alex and ta da! she ended up using it. SHE was so good in the play too. Gertie-perfect! Loved her laugh. She did so good!

Scrapbooking...

Today was a pretty long day. I woke up late, but not a big deal. The scrapbooking day was supposed to go from 9-9. But I got there at 10. All in all it was a good day. I started helping my mom with all the planning on friday. I made this cake. I also put some other stuff together.

There was a good turn out. I think the count was around 16 people. I am not sure I even finally decided what pictures I was going to scrapbook until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. THEN...I got down to business. I started putting together my peru trip finally. Basically I just wanted to say I'm happy with what I completed. 22 pages filled with pictures. Its fun to look at my peru pictures again. I did one page of getting my first speeding ticket (yes I took a picture that night in 1997). I still have a little more of my peru trip to put in this book, but I'm sure the next time I sit down to scrapbook it will get done. Super happy. Loooonnnng day.

AND....two more things

Parents are moving tomorrow....

AND...this old friend of mine said the nicest thing to me tonight...

He said:

I am always thinking.... and when I picture my happily ever after the woman I am with no matter if she is a brunette or a blond, big or small, that womans heart, mind and dedication is always like yours. You are truly an inspiration to me. Thank you for suffering my friendship.
