Here are the directions:
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 cool (and 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.

Jennie,
I'm so glad I found your blog! I have lots of memories of you from jr. high and high school, but I was so touched that you would come to my baby shower in Spring even though it was such a long drive and you had a little baby with you. It meant a lot to me. You are so sweet.
Glad to see you're doing well.
Love, Carrie
Jennie, Okay, first off you are hilarious. I just poured through your blog and you are witty and I like it! Congrats to the new grad and on all the races you are running! Did you ever run while pregnant? Just wondering. Anyway, onto the memories: being invited to an open slip after church, of course all the songs like "Pam you're a star in our eyes" etc., and my favorite piano duet: Bug-a-rug-a-rug-a-rug-a-rug-rug-rug-rug-rug. And yes, I'm pretty sure that's the official title right?
That our Primary singing time is one of the highlights of my week. You are truly amazing and so clever. I look forward each week to what new things you are going to do.
The other is realizing it was only a few short years ago that my boys were the same age as your boys are now, making me remember how precious those years are, and how I worried way more than anyone else about their behavior or funny things they did.
You're a darling family and we are so lucky to have you, Phil and the boys to associate and be friends with.
Remember when we (Jeff and I) went on the camera scavenager hunt with you and Phil, it was so funny to see the end pictures. I also remember that we went to one of the university dances with you. Let's just say we spent a lot of time together with our guys. I have such fond memories I am glad we were able to experience them together, I truly cherish that time of life.
Jennie - you are the best. And every time I see you (or now, read your blog) I still think you are the best. Can I just say, you're the best friend a girl could ask for? And I've discovered yet another great talent of yours - you are an amazing writer.....I absolutely love reading your blog.
Now on to business...When I read your post, tons of memories flooded back, then as I caught up on your blog, tons more came, so here they are....stitching barbie furniture with yarn (my fav was the piano:), buns up, speed, STOMP, checkers, YW, singing, night games, missionary week video....ah, and then Ricks, of course Maverick, Tim and Collin, registering for classes via telephone (have a picture of that one...), putting popcorn in the doorway next door (and then agreeing to help clean it up!!!!! we were cRaZy!!!) Then these were sparked by your blog.... fish (was that at Ricks?) named Guido (ps. did you know that is the name of Dieter Uchtdorf's son?), same gray aerobic high tops in 5th grade (we were stylin'!) I'm glad we're friends!!!!
I'm so glad you found our blog! Congrats on your graduation too! That is so great! I have lots of memories of you...I remember first meeting you at church and thinking that you were such a sweet person. I also remember you bringing me some yummy chicken salad after I had Tate. You were always doing nice things for people. I love ya!
I am so glad I found your blog through the Nikolaus'. We should try to get together sometime. Are you still here in Utah? I should probably read your older posts to find out. One of our favorite memories was when you and Phil came to our house and he played the guitar for all of us. Fun times!
I remember sometimes getting so mad at you and you were too sweet to get mad back. You would just sit there and laugh. (Which of course made me more mad!) I also remember how hard it was for me when you went to college. I used to bawl when you would go back. I only have great memories of you Jen. You were always an awesome example. Love ya!
