My friend had this on her blog and I thought it was fun. I'm looking forward to reminiscing!
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. 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. It’s actually pretty funny to see the responses.

First, cute picture on the side! My memory includes Jason but it is the funniest thing that I had seen with you guys. It was the night we were hanging out over at our place and we played the totally insane card game. But the funny thing was when Jason told us about finding you passed out in the bathroom. I was laughing so hard as he was acting it out for us. But, my first time meeting you was at the party at the school and the first thing I remember you saying was "So this has been a hard move for you, too?" And it was like finally I had found someone that needed a friend as much as I did! Thank goodness for that night!
So, I think we were still in elementary school-well at least I was-and you had your first set of braces, just on your front 4 teeth. And it must have been winter time because I was wearing like a wool sweater and we were fighting-physically. Rolling on the floor, pulling each other's hair, probably hitting and then all of the sudden, you were attached to me...to my sweater. So we stopped fighting (because whatever it was didn't matter anymore) and disentangled and you looked up and I saw that your braces had actually ripped off your teeth! I can't remember or not if that hurt-but man, what an intense fight.
Sorry...I'm leaving two.
I remembered this one while I was typing the first.
You had gotten your first fish tank, and you were letting me help you clean it for the first time. We took the fish out and put them in shallow dishes with some water and went about cleaing the tank thoroughly. After about a half an hour to an hour, we were finished and the tank was ready for the fish again. We went to where we had put the shallow dishes and only some of the fish were in their dish-where had the others gone to? We found a few flopping by their dish on the table, but their was one we couldn't find. No one told you these were jumping fish. We looked everywhere-do you remember? And then I had an idea and on a whim I looked on the bottom of my sock and there it was! The last fish! Smashed to pieces on my sock. I was totally grossed out and threw the sock away that instance...we never cleaned your tank again.
I remember the first time I met you and Jason. Will and I were already like, "We're getting married REALLY SOON!!" and you asked me, "So, do you have as hard of a time with this last name as I did?" I was really nervous to meet you guys, since you were the first people in his family that I'd ever seen and we were already engaged. It was really great, though, and it's the best family in the world to be a part of!
Many-many years ago...oh wait, I guess it would have been months! :) Anyway, the first thing that popped into my head was the knock-down drag-out battle between you and Nikky during our first game of Jungle Speed! "Jason, take the baby!!" I don't think I have ever laughed so hard! You are always a joy to be around! Thanks for being you!
P.S. Love the new family picture on the side - so cute!
I remember how we...ummm...you used to sing "And So It Goes" by Billy Joel over and over again because I loved it so much and you were soooo good and harmony. I think Caroline was secretly annoyed that I listened to songs over and over again.
When you were about 3 or 4 we used to have a book that had Primary songs and pictures in it (kind of like the present Primary Song book, but that didn't exist then), anyway you always liked to sing and one day you took the book and sat out on the driveway and turned the pages and sang the song that the pictures suggested (since you couldn't read yet).
So, I've been thinking about this for awhile...I have come to a few conclusions. Of course, all the games we have played this past year...especially Texas Hold'em. Remember when we had just moved out here and you and I went to Kroger and you were so excited to find out that we played Texas Hold'em? (even though i suck!) I remember thinking after that we were going to have a lot of fun together! Which reminds me, we need to have a poker tournament before the summer is over!
I have had tons of adventurous memories with you! I would have to say when we went camping in Sep . the hiking and the night games wouldn't of been fun without your presence thats for sure!!!
The first time I met you was in Relief Society the first Sunday we were here. I was so excited because you had a baby that was basically the same age as mine. I also loved your laugh. It was contagious from the very beginning.
Also - the family photos are fantastic and Addie even smiled! Where did you get the cute blog layout?
