This is your official invitation to take a stroll down Memory Lane with me.
"Always remember to slow down in life;
live, breathe, and learn;
take a look around you whenever you have time
and never forget everything and every person
that has the least place within your heart."

1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together. (At the bottom of this message, click "reader remarks".) It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments (or send via email). Just let me know which you prefer.

I remember we had a girls night at olive garden and we happened to sit next to each other. I had talked to you at church before and things like that, but this was so much fun to just relax and really get to know you. I remember leaving thinking how nice and fun you were to talk too.
I was thinking about how we used to plan RS actitives together and it seemed like you always served with a smile and never got frustated!! I enjoyed the study group too. Thanks for playing
I will always remember the $100 lesson. You know the one....about the value of a person. You have always had such great insight and a very touching way of teaching me a new lesson. I have learned so much from you. Thanks!
I remember that lesson! That was cool, but I remember you as a Youth. I remember the short hair and the big bows and your zest for life. I remember you bearing your testimony and wishing that I had that strength of testimony at that time in my life and wanting to make a change. I remember Stephany Swallow bearing her testimony about the same time frame and from those two testimonies of the Savior, saying, I can do this and changing ever so slowly, incrementally step by step, the direction of my life. I don't think I ever told you that. I moved my life forward quickly afterwards and have since developed my own strength and faith reservoir. You never know how much your testimony changes others do you? I remember moving back into the Ward and being so excited that your testimony had only grown and oh, how I love to hear you speak. You have an amazing ability to convey the love of the Savior through your quotes and stories. Your family is so full of service and you have extended that legacy to your kids and I have so many fond memories of Youth Activities with them, that have replaced some of my more painful Youth Activities. Teen Years are so wretched.
I remember knowing that as I was struggling through all the medical problems with my boys, dealing with PPD and my oldest's Autism diagnoses that you were always a listening ear and willing to share your journey and your kindness and understanding.
I'm going to go with one that my girls just talked about. Aunt Mom of 5 Gents and Uncle Mustang Man and all the boys up at the lake house for 4th of July. The listed that as one of their two favorite 4th of July's. Spending time with Aunt, Uncle and cousins with good food and fun.
Do you remember me coming to your home in the capacity of ward missionary I believe? I didn't really know much about you but we talked for a while. I knew that you just had to be awesome from how Stormin' was turning out, but then when we talked and I learned so much about you, I understood better. You are truly amazing. Also, I remember when I found out about all of your service in the community. I think a lot of people serve in the Church but you are truly an example of how we need to be more involved in community service and I appreciate it. THANK YOU!
I remember going to one of your birthday parties and making homemade rootbeer. That was awesome!
Fun idea! I will always remember you from Cub Scouts. You had all those boys and still were willing to step up to the plate and fill several leadership roles. I wish there were many more moms like you.
I remember we got to know each other thru my many trials of figuring out the school system and church functions. You were my fountain of information as I struggled making sure all my kid's needs we're met. Plus double checking to make sure they we're not feeding me a load of garbage. (Shocking at times they were.) You've been a great friend and I've missed chatting with you.
*sigh* where to begin...
Girls camp...
You helping me practice with your flags for color guard...
Sleep-overs...
The Changeling.... and that ball rolling down the stairs at the house on Reber? (was that the name of the street?) Little did we know that the guys had gone up and helped that baseball...
Remember the Halloween party your mom put on?!? Where we had to be blindfolded and put our hands in stuff? The cold cooked spaghetti!!! That was awesome!!!!
Sure love you and miss you!!!
