Remember When...

In case you did not read the email...

I thought we could start posting memories of our times together on the blog. It could be as little as a sentence, but more if you would like. I was inspired after reading Sadie's blog a few weeks ago where she posted a picture and very thoughtful words about our friends. It made me think about how awesome our high school experience was. I recently read a friend's blog who stated "I wish I would have gotten more involved in high school." What?? I LOVED high school and I am so glad that I was friends with you all. I know I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for you. I know I wouldn't have gotten involved in the activities I did if it wasn't for having at least one of you with me. We accomplished so much individually and together, it is truly amazing to think about.

I hope this can be something fun to read and remember the fun times we had. I know not everyone will be involved in every post, or we might be involved but have no recollection of it (like with the picture on Sadie's blog.) My memory isn't the greatest,hence the need to have others help me remember.) It will be fun to see all we did and remember for the years to come.

So, I have taken the liberty of posting the first "REMEMBER WHEN" post.


Remember all the Christmas parties we had? I looked forward to these every year... and still do! While in high school, Sadie was a GREAT HOST! I think we went there every year? (right?)I remember one year we had fondue and I something really funny happened at the table though I am not recalling it at the moment. (did I do the elephant?) I think another year we had soup. Then we would go open presents by the fireplace and it usually took us a while because we would always go off on many tangents! Also, one year Sadie surprised us with our own Christmas trees from GAP! I still have the tree and love it. Another memorable year was when Tori came in a little later after a meeting with Belnap... I won't go any further. (: I love that we have progressive pictures of this event. (I posted the only ones I had on my computer, the others are far far away in SLC.) In years since high school we went to various houses or out to lunch. As fare as presents we have done exchanges and some years we donated to a charity, what an amazing feeling that was! This year Maggie has requested we boost our cooking skills and make this blog a recipe blog!



The greatest thing about having these parties is that we just talked, laughed, and cried together. We were educated in various topics (: and expressed feelings that we probably wouldn't have shared in any other situations. I am so thankful for these experiences and hope that we can continue to get together as many of us as possible every year!

Happy birthday, Marsha!

Martha,
I hope you have the best birthday ever. Here are some of my wishes for you.
* That you laugh so hard you wet your pants.
* That somebody sings you the "I'm glad you're not one" song
* That somebody will be shocked when you tell them how old you are (because you don't look a day over 21).
* That you will feel super special.
* That M will be a perfect little Toddler for you and not do any naughty things.

Love you,
Maggie (and everyone else)

Happy Birthday, Tori!

A very happy birthday to Miss Tori! I have to tell you, friend, that your birthday always makes me think of our sophomore year of high school when you turned sixteen first so we all made you drive us around the whole year. Ha. Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful day and that you and Matt are out doing something fabulous to celebrate. We love you!

No Baby Martin?

I just realized that I have heard no news of the little one and it is because I am not a privileged person that gets to view their blog (probably cause Jen uses my byu email or something). Anyway, anyone that has heard let me know. Jen - I should get you the email I use so that I can actually view your blog. I have been meaning to email you so that I could be added but, alas I have not done so.
