I just have had a fun time looking up past friends from over 20 years ago when I lived in Tucson, Arizona. I was able to find Adrienne, Lorana, Crystal, Nikki, and hopefully Deana too. It brings back a ton of memories....especially the great weather. My parents moved us to Utah in 1987. It was a tough adjustment, but I am grateful for it. I believe it saved my brothers from some crazy times.
Some of my memories include: Kissing Nick and Sean in Mrs. Shackleford's Kindergarten class and then beating one of them up in his front yard. Lots of fun times with sleepovers. Going swimming in Crystal's pool naked. Upsetting Adrienne's mom when we were pretending to be pregnant...and her mom was pregnant. Also, playing soccer with Adrienne. Walking home from school and stopping to get a treat at the Ice Cream Man's usual post by the wash. Feeling horrible that I missed Lorana's baptism. Getting bit by Nikki's gerbil. And the funnest memories were all the swimming memories at the neighborhood pool. According to google earth maps, it doesn't exist anymore.
Some fun memories. I am so thrilled to be in contact them once again.

A gerbil bit you? That's a little odd...
What fun memories. I don't think I would even remember many of my friends names from 20 years ago. What a great person you are.
WHO'S SEAN@!$%?
I'm so glad you looked us all up! I think it's AMAZING that friends we had in elementary school can be life-long friends-- I guess we're "kindred spirits"!!
Just found your blog, and HELLO! There's Schumaker! Carriage Hills Pool was closed awhile back and there are two, way-too-new-looking-for-the-neighborhood houses in its place.
Okay, EVERYONE missed my baptism. Know what's crazy? My daughter is getting baptized on Saturday!
Looking forward to more contact with you and everyone else now that we're not lost anymore!
