Here's a fun game...
1. As a comment, leave on my blog a memory of you and me (and even if you don't know me that well, you can tell how you know me).
2. If you do, I'll assume you are playing the game and go to your blog and leave a memory...

Fun Fun Fun...thanks for playing...
I have so many...where to start...oh one of my favorites was when you were in 1st grade and your homework was to copy some letters on that big manuscript lined paper...a row of capital A's and a row of little a's. You did two of each and said, "that's enough, I'm done." and Daddy backed you up saying, "Well those look good enough, why should she have to keep copying them when she's proven she knows how to do it?" Spoiled brat!
oh and how about Sunday night services in Natchez when you and your friend visited holiness churches and flipped off the lights????
but I mainly remember when you were preparing to serve a mission and LaNelle was a baby and you came to visit me and we went shopping. and then we ate at Chick-fil-a and you made me give LaNelle a whole waffle fry instead of cutting it into bits!
hahahahahaha I could go on and on and on
Okay, I know you remember this one... We went to your house for a "Book of Mormon Read-a-thon" and everyone was freakin out because it was so cold. You let me sleep on the vent because I was always so hot! I also remember one night I stayed up talking late into the night with you and Callie Beck. It was seriously like 3 o4 in the morning before I made it home. That was a fun night for me!
alright momma, lets see what is a good memory......oh! When we went to lakewood 2 years ago and me and you and grandma and lauren and gramps all went to the camp store to get ice cream. well, it started to rain and me and grandma and lauren all sat on the back of the golfcart- IN THE RAIN! when we got back all the people on the back were SOAKED! and you said that u got all wet. and u weren't so it was funny!
Well, my memory has got to be of your completely stunned face when we were riding the bikes at the health club in Zebulon. I had just "announced" to you that I had found your future husband. You looked at me like I was crazy but all night I persisted - as we moved across the floor in areobics, on the tread mill, even when you stopped in the middle of the floor in areobics & caused a pileup of people (& the instructor yelled at us-haha). OK maybe the I can get rid of his EX scared you. Sorry but I knew I wanted you as my sister & here we are. You have a loving family & devoted husband & I got a sister. WIN-WIN!!
How about your first exposure to your favorite perfect angel nieces, me and Kelly, at youth conference. You were keeping one close eye on us, like you were expecting us do be sneaky or something?!?!? You hung in there, we had a blast with you and you still married into the family! Love you!
I remember our trip to South Carolina alone as teenages...What were we thinking!,no, what were our parents thinking!, anyway with Libbi driving us from Mississippi and you asleep in the back seat. We stopped at a Truck stop and me and Libbi left you in the car to go in and get a drink . We came back and you were awake and screaming at us for leaving you to be murdered by some stranger.
I can not see us letting our teenages to anything like that! We were nuts and I am glad that no stranger came by to get you. Oh, we did lock the door! hehe
I have lots more memories too. Driving the old green truck that blew smoke out the back on the car behind us at ACCS private school. You would duck in the front so I looked like I was alone in the old clunker!
How about our fun Youth Conferences, Super Saturdays and our Trip to Utah touring around Temple square and the Beehive house, etc.
Oh, our fun trip to Disney World with Ninna and Mamaw and the before the world of cellphones we would put our sign to the window "PP" to know we needed a pitstop.
You're soo easy to talk to. I've enjoyed each opportunity we've had to just sit and talk. And most recently, your kind words after my talk. Really meant a lot! Thanks!
I remember your wedding because we all got to wear matching dresses and I thought it was sooooo cool and pretty and we got to dance at your reception and I thought that I was so much fun. Then I can remember one time when I came to visit by myself (I think my mom was at girls camp or something) and I got to spend the day with you while grandma worked and Emily was a baby and you lived in that tiny trailer and I got to jump on a trampoline and had so much fun. Basically I just remember that you always treated me like a little adult and of course I LOVED that! And you still make me feel like an adult and I can't say that about everyone haha!
Our long phone conversations is my favorite memory. You really helped during a rough time. You always accepted me no matter what. I wish you were here now!!!
OK, I've finally come to leave my memory! A few I will not share - here are some other 'publically acceptable ones'!
I remember visiting you when you lived in the trailer and I remember visiting you at the house on Arendale and the one on church st.
And I remember how you always laughed so much (I liked how you had such a sense of humor and I wanted to be like that when I grew up).
And I remember when we were visiting you when you were pregnant with Michael I think and you went for a walk b/c you weren't feeling well. (I think you had the baby while we were visiting, but I could be wrong.) And I remember all the beach times we had with your family - you were always "more fun" than mom b/c she wasn't as big a water fan as you were. :) hehe.
The many days of Emily's baby life when Mom would drop me off at your house to hang out. I loved playing with Emi, especially rocking her to sleep. I really knew I wanted to be a Mom, when I spent time with you two girls. I always had so much fun with you, playing games, making cookies, or just hanging out! Uncle Jeff couldn't have given our family a better gift, than you! :)
