What I can remember tonight

April, 2004
I was living in Coralville, IA with Merry, Lisa, Katie, and Angela. I was working at University of Iowa mail room. I processed mail. I had just gotten back from visiting Virginia and applying for grad school at Mary Baldwin College. I spent a lot of time with the guys next door, Casey, Ben, Randy and even Paul when he wanted to watch Alias with us. I drove a 1994 Ford Escort.

April, 1999
I was getting ready to leave on my mission to Dallas on May 5th.
I was probably buying dresses. I bought Born shoes that were wonderful!
I lived in Provo in Cinnamon Tree Apartments with Lesley Larsen, Abbi and Bethany from Boston, and two other people. I wasn't in school at all. I had just gotten back from ACTF in Humboldt. I drove a 1989 Nissan Sentra.

April, 1994
I was 16. Attending Bear River High School. I had just gone to Girl's Choice with Micah. I drove a big American car-not sure about the make and model. Pontiac? We painted it green. It was a big ol' boat. On some occassions, I would drive the Napa Auto Parts delivery truck. I was probably in a play, but I can't for the life of me remember what play it was! I was a sophomore in high school. Nick was 16 months and very cute. Kelli was graduating that year, Jack and Kim were both freshman, and Jayson and Matt were both in the 6th grade.

April, 1989
I was 11 years old and living in Centerville, Utah. My best friends were Rochelle, Abbi, and Merrilee. We lived in a nice house with beautiful roses on Peachtree Drive. I loved going to the mall with my friends. I played basketball with Jr. Jazz and softball.

April, 1984
I was 6 years old and lived in Salina, Utah. Jack was 4, Matthew was almost 2. How my mother did it, I will never know. I remember playing with matches and being spanked for it. I remember eating melted cheese and throwing it up. I remember going to kindergarten, and being yanked out and taught at home. I learned how to ride a bike here. I remember sandbagging against the floods. I remember tying my shirt in a knot and feeling scandalous.

April, 1979
I was 15 months old. I was very cute. My mom was pregnant with my brother Jack. I remember ripping pages out of books and playing around our apartment in Provo. (Not really, but I had you freaked out a little! ha ha ha!)

I remember YOU in your gorgeous HOT pink sequined prom dress w/ $2000 worth of jewelry (which we didn't know at the time or No WAY would you have been wearing it ;)
10 YEARS!! Has it been 10 years since we were shopping for those shoes?!
What a great life! Great memories! (At least these, huh? ;)

I didn't know that jewelry was worth that much money! I guess I shouldn't have it sitting on my dresser! I probably shouldn't have worn the earrings to a truck pull! (Just kidding. . .)
