1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I have together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, just about anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. 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!"...misty water-colored memories, of the way we were...."

I remember when...

7 love notes:
I remember when you used to pick me up twice a week in the mornings so I could be a part of your amazing post-partum exercise class at 24 hour fitness! You were a GREAT teacher and it was so good for me! I loved the yoga days. I was sad when your class had to be cancelled!
...you taught me how to country dance. That was great for getting the chicks!
When T was brand new, you were sitting behind me holding him and I heard him spit up. (Since N was just a few months old, I was familiar with the sound) and turned around to watch an astonishing amount of spit up come out of his tiny tiny little body. And you just rolled your eyes heavenward and laughed. I totally remember thinking... "I need to be a mom like that, remembering to laugh more at the things I can't control"
You are an amazing person!! Oh man looking back at those early motherhood days... if only we could go back and whisper into our own ears little hints...
I remember when you brought me a little Christmas tree to put in my room in the hospital when I was on bedrest. It was so thoughtful....and we even ended up using it as our tree at home after I delivered. With the birth of our kids, things were so hectic that December, so if you hadn't brought it we probably wouldn't have had a Christmas tree that year.
I remember when you first moved into the ward with your long, brown, curly hair. I remember Treyden in his cute brown overalls that Caleb inherited! I remember thinking that I want to steal Trey cause he's so so cute and that I hoped my baby was going to be as cute (lucky me he and Corgan look like siblings)! Then I got to know you and loved that you were a fellow Scorpio (which is SUCH a LAME thing to think) and of course one of our first dinners out with the girls was at El Torito. Ok so obviously I sound like a stalker and have millions of memories of you. SO here's to the ones I committed in print... cheers! May we have many more.
I knew you waaaaay back when...I remember when we were in YW together, and I loved coming to your apartment on conference Sundays where you made waffles and strawberries for breakfast while we watched (or napped) during conference, and talked to the girls.
I am responding to an old post so I don't know if you will read this or not, but since I have known you longer than just about everyone, I wanted to respond. My earliest memory of you is playing hospital in Grandma and Grandpa's back room. We would use rusty nails as the needles and we would push each other around in the wheelchair.
A few years later I remember being jealous because you went to girls camp before me. You taught me the camp song "Ooooh, McKinney is dead and McDoogal don't know it. McDoogal is dead and McKinney don't know it...." We sang it through your entire visit. I think that was the summer I went back to California with you and we performed in your stake's birthday celebration together.
Thanks for teh good memories. I think it is time to make some more...
