Flashback Weekend

I have been able to see a lot of old friends over the past week, especially yesterday.
My old roommate and her cute family came down from Sun Valley, Idaho to visit. She has a 5 year old and 5 month old. They are soooooo cute. They definitely brightened up my home. Thanks guys! Kennedy, you can come live with Auntie Teri anytime.
I was able to be witness to Allison's inaugural trip to IKEA, while her husband took her 5 year old to Lagoon. I just kept laughing every time we would see something she loved and she'd talk herself out of it or we'd try to walk past it. (It worked about half the time.)

Last night, we went down to Lehi for a Chino 3rd Ward "Reunion". It was a get together with some of the people I grew up with. Growing up, our ward had an awesome youth. There were a lot of us and we had fun. It was great to see people all grown up and see them with their own families, especially since I imagine everyone still 17. I missed the ones that weren't able to come. It is amazing how many people from Chino ended up here in Utah.

Marque and Mont

'Ode to Judy. She makes the best cinnamin rolls ever!! And the best lemon squares. She is the nicest person ever. RANDOM MEMORY: My mom and Judy made us girls take a wagon full of ward cookbooks around the neighborhood to sell them because they had so many left over.

Laurie and I. I always love listening to Laurie. She tells you how it is. She always made everything so much fun...When we were probably beehives, we sewed flouresant shorts and matching shirts for girls camp. Ohhhh, 12 year olds.

Tara and Kelly

Half the fun was being able to drive down with my siblings. It's not very often that just the 4 of us hang out. I thought it was pretty cool.

I'm not quite done with the flashbacks. Last week I was able to see 4 of my old co-workers. It was great to see them. I had a great support system when I began teaching and when I changed grades. Even though I might not call or e-mail, I think of them often. I always have intentions to get together with them but life happens and it get's put aside.

Me, Jenny, Teri, DeAnn

I am reminded of the song, "Each Life That Touches Ours For Good" That is how I have felt this week. I have been lucky enough to always be surrounded by amazing friends. I am thankful for the memories that I have. The downside to growing up, getting married, or moving on in your job is that you don't get to see the fabulous people you meet along the way as often as you'd like. I know it's all part of life and I'm not sad about it. I love where I'm at but it's always good to see people and catch up. Okay, I didn't mean to get mushy or sentimental.
