Meeting up with old friends

So a couple weeks ago I was able to meet up with a couple of old friends from high school that I hadn't seen since graduation. It was so fun!!! Lunch at Johnny Corrinos, and a movie at Jordan Landing. I told them that they had to see Mama Mia, and I'm so glad they agreed! We had a fun day of catching up, with Lot's of laughter. =) I didn't want the day to end. I was on a high, and it felt great to get out the whole day without having kids with me! That's enough to rejuvenate anybody!!!
Next I love face book! I have recently come back into contact with pretty much the whole youth from the ward I grew up in. When I would get a friend request from one of them, or if I sent a friend request all of these great memories would flood back into my mind. I loved that neighborhood, and ward so much! We hung out playing night games, toilet papering, getting into trouble, doing stupid things, etc. etc. etc.! We were a tight knit group. It's been fun to see what everyone has been up to for the last 8 years. It really makes me want to just drive around the old neighborhood. I haven't been there in years. Lastly I just want to say that family and friends are so important. Treat them good!!! =) I love having my own little family to take care of. It's hard, but worth it! Love you all! Thanks for good memories.

Karen!! It was so much fun! I can't wait until we can do it again. Loved Mamma Mia, by the way. I got the soundtrack!! What do you think of Gardner Village around the 13th of October (if I haven't gone into labor by then)? Kids should come too since the witches will be out... Let me know!

Sounds like fun! I admit, I too LOVE facebook and the fact that I have been able to reconnect with so many people that I never would have expected to even see again. Good times!

I've caught up with lots of cousins through facebook. It's fun. I need to be more active on there. I just do my blog and forget about facebook.
