Remember
What do you remember about me?
Ok, I'll do this tag from Cami. (Be nice.)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. 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.

LOL! ANNIE! I said be nice. I am laughing! I don't remember sneaking out of my basement window...but I remember sneaking out of yours! HAha!
I guess all the praying that went on in my parents bedroom paid off!
I talked to Bonnie seven years ago. I don't know where she is now.
You do know that I get to leave one of these on your blog right!?
Oh Jeri, I remember all your cute clothes. I remember how such good friends you and Annie were. I always wished I had a friendship like that back then. I remember how nice your mom was when I would come over with Annie. I remember your cute bug. I rememer your sketcher shoes that I just had to have, and I did get some!! Speaking of Annie's Copper Rivet story, I remember that too. AH!!!
I LOVE your answer to mine. Life Twins is awesome. Plus, I noticed, both our baby girls like like our oldest. Jane is Jeffy's little twin.
Ok, ummm . . . I love this memory: "What's the next job?" My kids thought pictures with you was a fun game. But that's too recent. Hmmm . . .
Hot Tub and smoothie nights. Oh what fun. You are always such a good host.
That enrichment night when I decided to throw a hot tub party at your house. How do you like them apples? Little bit of a bold move, but look at the friendship that emerged.
I remember you so patiently and kindly helping Talia share her brand-new sticker book with one of my little girls in the church lobby. She (my little girl, not yours) was out for being naughty). You have just a kind, patient demeanor with children. I envy that.
Jeri: I remember watching you dance with Lincoln that night in Provo and you moved with the grace of a beautiful dragonfly. I bought the gold dragonfly brooch, and since then have bought more little dragonflies--everytime it is in rememberance of you. Love you forever, like you for always-- Mom (Lincoln's Mom)-- I am soooo glad you married my son-- he is such a lucky boy.
Oh man this is kind of tricky to think of something to be able to write down so quickly. I think mostly I remember what I felt like hanging out with you....happy! You were always such a fun person to be around and I loved how our families meshed so well. I loved that almost every Sunday we would look at whatever we had in our kitchens and figure out a way of putting them together into a yummy sunday dinner. We loved our time in Maryland and you were a big part of that. Miss you!
I'll pick three out of my bag of a million happy memories of you:
Girls' Night Out - lots of them and I hope more to come. :)
Our many beach trips and Multnomah Falls day. Those were fun days!
Mine is a bit more about your brothers than you. I remember once when we came to visit you guys in Brigham City, and Michael offered to take you down to the store to buy you ice cream. I was floored by his kindness! My brothers were still trying to beat me up at that age, and it never would have occurred to them to use their own money to buy something nice for one of their sisters. Your family has always remained in my memory as one that had a lot of love. Rarely any cross words. You're lucky to have such awesome parents.
It's been fun reconnecting with you where we left off oh so many years ago. It's probably been 15 years since I've even seen you!
This is a fun idea for a post - I'll probably do it later this week.
I remember eating french fries with you on a bench outside the kids nearly new sale and talking all about So You Think You Can Dance! I just love every chance I get to sit and chat with you Jeri!! You are such a fun and uplifting person!! Oh and I also remember you coxing the most precious smiles out of my shy kids with the bunny pez dispenser during our photo shoot with you! You are a genius!!:)
Here's two:
I remember the first time I saw you. You were walking into the gym before sacrament meeting and I thought you were one of the most beautiful and stylist pregnant ladies I'd ever seen :)
My maternity photo shoot - you made me feel beautiful and special. And that picture of my two big kids!! So amazing. You told me to just leave the room and I trusted you.

oh my goodness, where should I start with this one? SO many wonderful memories...
~the first one that popped into head though was going to the "No Doubt" concert with you and Becka... remember all the stoned people around us?!?! but we sure had a fun night anyway!
~also, all the cute clothes you wore. (ok, STILL wear) and of course whenever I see a professional photograph, I think "that has nothing on Jeri" LOL
~your olive oil boots (hehe)
~your cute floral couches
~anything purple
~spiritual
~an amazing mom that I look up to
:)
/thinks back to the last week of July 1998 ......
I remember spending all day peddling around, whilst complaining on a bicycle built for two. Crazy idea, seeing that Catalina is a city built on a freaking hill!- The things the travel agent forgets to tell you...
The funny part is we were so young they wouldn't even trust us with a golf cart on the island... Meanwhile the hotel is trying to give us free booze with our room, (I guess they weren't worried about us drinking and driving??) we opted for the Sparkling Cider instead.
I remember us scuba diving into a huge school of shimmery fishes and eating quite possibly the BIGGEST BOWL OF SHRIMP COCKTAIL ON THE PLANET!! - Seriously it was friggin Huge.
~Lincoln
My turn. This isn't fair-I have amnesia.
I have to have you around, and then you can't stop the memories and the inside jokes - things that 1-nobody else would get, and 2-nobody else would think is funny.
And who cares if they don't? They are just for us to laugh at. When you came back for Dan's wedding, I think it was five minutes if not 5 seconds that the inside jokes are back.
