I'm a little embarrassed to post this. It's my first time to set up a "TAG". I actually think no one will see it because I haven't posted for so long, you may have all given up on this here blog.
This is a fun tag that is running rampant throughout my bloggy blog world. I want to hear from ALL Y'ALL...even if you have never commented before!
Here are the rules.
1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember! If we're only blogging friends, write about a post that is most memorable. If you don't have a blog and don't know how to sign in, please comment as anonymous.
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 be sure to write one about you... either on your blog, in my comment box, or I will email you back!
3. If the memory happens to involve my husband, please include him!
4. If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all ☺Okay, let's see what you've got!

Care...what can I say, way too many memories of our "adopted" daughter. "Mrs. Mean" the babysitter, ice cream at Farr's, jumping on the tramp, airport trip to pick up Cory, bringing Tim to meet us, "Bigwell", Laurel Legacy, sewing pj bottoms & wallhangings for camp, walking in the mornings, long,long talks,laughter,tears...I miss the "just walk in" Care, when your life was simpler. Where are you? How can you miss someone so much when they just live across the street?
Love & miss you,
Diane
Carrie, just found your blog from Jeni's blog. Emma had a fabulous time on Thursday, said it was one of the best days of her life, must've been some spa!
Anyway, my first memory of you is feeling very comfortable around you right away. You have always been complimenting and easy to talk to. One day we were talking about Emi and you said, "She eats to live, I live to eat." I knew I liked you for a reason.
I also love your house, inside and out!
Going on a walk to the river when Elle had just turned 1. We just barely passed my yard and your stroller tire got stuck in the cattle guard and broke! We didn't want to turn back so you went with a broken stroller. Late nights with Primary and your funny RS reminders.
Hey Cohort. Need I say more? Just kidding, there is so much more than just that!
The very first time I met you you were pregnant with Emi (I think, your first daughter, right?) and it was Laurel Legacy-my first time. You were the nicest, friendliest person and I remember thinking, "Wow, she is soo cool!"
That developed into a tender relationship for me as the next LAurel Legacy I got to serve with you as "cohorts." I always think of different things you did that impressed me. How organized you were, how intuitive you were, how patient you were (with me, I now realize!!!), and how down-to-Earth you were. You made a lasting impression on me, and I think of you always with fondness! Thanks for being wonder woman to me at a time when I needed someone like you!
"Wow, that's just about all I can say is, Wow" (a quote from Lily's Purple Plastic Purse)
But you know that I have plenty more to say, like - Diane, you have no idea how the fact that you were the first to respond, means to me!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first memory of you is you and Nolan sitting on the rocking loveseat at my parents and wondering if I babysat. You had just moved back and I don't know if you were just visiting or if Nolan was our hometeacher? Of course, the actual art of babysitting and wondering if you knew your girls were still awake when you got home. My first experience with AVOCADOS, Tamales and Farr's icecream. Totally loving the "being accepted" by the coolest family ever and learning the artform of sarcasm (which I don't think was as much you as the men) Remodeling/finishing the downstairs. When you got your microwave. WSC fireworks and learning what is means "to fluff". You allowing me to join you in taking Cory TO the MTC on a foggy morning. Definitely All the things you mentioned (I must add to Laurel Legacy - good smelling candles and did you see Ali's "cohort" comment?) plus Diane the librarian - the perfect fit. I love and miss you, too. I just found out that you retired - I'm a little distraught that I had no idea. Congratulations! and especially the temple assignment - another perfect fit. We should talk sometime.
Angie - someone told me that the qualities you see in someone are easily seen because those are the qualities you have as well. This is one of those cases - I was going to say how comfortable you made me feel and I also thought/think that you have a love for life and want to enjoy it to its fullest. You are a fabulous, 210%, give all, mom. I would love your spunk, energy and enthusiasm.
Amy - I have a lot of memories of you. I'm trying to remember when I met you but I think you have always been here. I was SSSOOO excited when they put you in primary and even more upset when they took you right back out - AAHHH! Watermelon cheer - Cub Scouts. Yes, walking, when you could get me out. You are my favorite organization guru! You and your mind are amazing. And I think you are True Blue. You always follow through and you are a loyal friend to everyone. Okay - these are more qualities than memories. But they are good ones!!
My favorite Ali - You are a steadfast blogger! (must be in the family genes). My first memory of you is that you were absolutely darling - I would have given anything to look like you! The best thing I found about working with Young Women is that even though it was supposedly the leaders' job to bring the girls up, it seemed to work the opposite for me. Your the one that built me up - I couldn't help but be nice back. Ali - you were amazing way before your time. (I so hope Diane B. saw the word "cohort") I was so excited to see you were online!! and now that my life has slowed down for a minute I'm going to catch up.
Phew - I'm grateful for all you wonderful friends!
It’s about time you changed your blog.
What can I say you were who I wanted to be when I grow up.
You taught us (Birt Girls) If we didn’t want to play with some we just pretend not to hear them. (lol) Or say we had piano and you were our teacher. How on earth did you come up with these things? Oh what about Fantasy Island and the magic leaves that would make everything better, playing restaurant in your basement, I can’t believe your mom keep letting us come over. Who could for get Gladis (sp) and that big rock under the tree in your front yard that you would stand on and tell us what to do…. And still to this day you amaze me. I still find myself thinking when I grow up I want to be just like you…
Sorry (someone)I should read my post be for I do the verification.
Tiff - You might want to re-read your comments. . . all the examples of me are not something someone should want to grow up to become, ie bossy, controlling and mean. You everything but those qualities - continual service to everyone, full of smiles, and still gorgeous as ever (which isn't something you can really control). I'm going to list my memories of you on your blog. . . I am REALLY glad you came back to SW!
(lol) those are just memories....
You want qualities? Where do I start? You always go the extra mile and over the top on everything you do. You have a way of making people feel important and loved. I love your ability to include everyone young or old. You are hilarious and make me laugh. You have an ability to do everything cook, sew, decorate, ect, ect, ect…….
I think when you were in heaven you stood in the talent line and wouldn’t leave so the rest of us got what was left over……..
P.S. Everything you do is nicely wrapped in love and tied tight with the perfect bow!
(lol) Shae read my comment not knowing who it was for. I asked do you know who I'm talking about? she said yes! "carrie"
Care, one of the very first memories I have of you is when you and Tim had Zak and I over for a sleepover. We were at your Centerville condo, swimming in the pool, Zak and I talked late in the spare bedroom when we were supposed to be sleeping and you made me go sleep on the couch. Memorable? YES! I always looked forward to the times I could come and just be with you. I remember wishing that I could grow up a little quicker and be involved with all the big girl, fun Care stuff revolving around you. How lucky I am to live only two doors away! Sure do love you!
Hey Carrie.. I have had some great times with you over the years starting with going thru the Ed program. I am still impressed you were valedictorian. And it was funny that our husbands already knew each other thru title stuff. More memories include quilt guild, your home boutiques and who couldn't forget our trip to Chicago...good times!
Carrie,
I check your blog now and then, and then.... IT FINALLY HAPPENS! Something I can comment on!
A lot of my memories are through all the years of preschool! It was so fun to watch our little ones grow up together! (and still watch!)
I am amazed by your creativity and yes, I will admit it..I too covet your house and your husband!!
It's OK you can have Lane! Ha! Ha!
(or was that you two by the barn?) Lane will never let that one die!
I remember you turning 40, and how funny it was! (or how funny you were about it!) I still feel bad I missed out on that Park City trip!
But I have to say, I am especially fond of Eli and the bond him and Landen have!
Love Ya!
The first memory that came to mind was one time when you took me clothes shopping when I was maybe 8years old. I thought I was so cool to be invited to go shopping with my aunt Carrie. My role in the whole process was to put all your discards on hangers and button up the buttons. We had a philosophical difference as I didn't button up the top button on the shirts, and you felt that this final step was very important.
Love you,
Mel
I KNEW you would put "I hat you"...I remember you babysitting, of course, and leaving the house to get Mrs. Mean. Back you would come, ringing the doorbell and trying to be mean. It lasted about 4 minutes. You taught us neighborhood girls a dance once to "Lost and found in the new york city, rhythm is my name..." I still remember the arm movements! I remember you telling some silly story on Ralph and Dana's little brown fence about having to go "wee"... you were a very creative girl! You told us your freckles were chocolate milk...You crashed thanksgiving dinner at my mom's to announce your pregnancy to my mom's entire fam...of course I remember you joining us on our honeymoon...AND you were one of the few that acted like our little wedding reception was special, still the adopted sister!..Hairspray was awesome, Park City really was fun, you are the busiest person I know!
Carrie...my very first memory is fear. :) When we got put in primary together I remember thinking...I can never be as awesome as she is! I was so worried that I would let you down..mostly because I have a tendency to slack :)....but girl...you amaze me. I don't know how you do it all..or even THINK of all that you think of. You are wonderful, energetic, compassionate, & real. You are a treasure!
