Memories

I saw a bunch of other people had on their blog to leave a comment of a memory that we had together. And most of you that know me know that I love to bring up old stories and laugh about them over and over again so I thought that would be fun. I don't have the official one like everyone else but I think it will get the same point across.

Eric...Where to start? That's a bum deal, I can see how that would be unfair, kicking your butt at wrestling, basketball, ultimate, tennis, ping pong, pool, I could go on and on. Having you cry in my room till late at night, laughing in my room until we cried till late at night. Smash Bros, Risk, hot tubs, paintball. Tripling back on the double back, trying to hook up with Darts, Jazz tickets that nobody wanted (then finding out Jeff and Brad wanted them but couldn't get them). Snowed in at your farewell, 2 for 2 Big Mac runs, bugging me at North Pointe. This probably doesn't make sense to anyone but Eric. I'm almost tearing up just writing this!
You guys gotta come visit us soon.

We had fun at homecoming and playing games at your sister's house in Bountiful. Thanks for being my friend after just moving here. I always appreciated it!

I think about Powder Mountain, being the first ones on the fresh powder in the morning, making the first tracks. Man that was some good snow. I swear I only taught about an hour a day, and the rest was just playtime.

I remember how we would always get confused who they were calling to the office because are names were so similar. I also remember I loved your laugh. It made everyone else want to laugh, too.

I remember you taking out my roommate's scarf...Haha, and then going up to your house to have shrimp cocktails.
When Ry and I were at odds with each other, I remember going up to hang out with you and Brad and feeling like I was doing something "dangerous".
Then lastly, when Ry and I decided we couldn't find anyone better, I remember going back to your house and having fun playing pool and filming the night away. Man, I must love your house!

Heidi, your turn. (Sorry this is a long post...) I remember you being Eric's "sporty" girlfriend and being impressed with your soccer skills. Also, I remember talking with you about how much we loved hearing our boys talk non-stop about high school (admit it, Eric, it's true). And another one, walking around with just us girls at Jeff's cabin. Fun times!

You had and still have the best laugh. Things were 10 times funnier when you thought they were. I remember our boy/girl sleepovers at your house (with supervision, although I was never sure who the adult was that was supervising us because they "stayed upstairs"). We would wake up in the morning, open the windows, and dance to Enya. Plus I'll never forget the really fancy dinner we had at your table. I've forgotten the occassion but your dad cooked for us and it was amazing.

You were also very kind and considerate, especially to the ladies.I really enjoyed having you as a friend.

Eric--I can think of a lot of memories. I remember you breaking your chair on your mission when you were making me a tape. You laughed so hard. I remember your laugh. It was always contagious. I remember you making me play my pipes for Chamber Quire until my reed got stuck....phew....I seem to recall you teased me a lot. I remember you always wanting to play games and all your friends you had. I remember everyone teasing you about liking purple. I remember getting lost driving to your house the first time with all my friends. I remember you trying to blow out all those candles and all the smoke that came up. I remember you always being such a great friend. Oh I love to look back. I hope this made you laugh!

Ben and Melissa Ellis said...

Sorry--I just remembered playing Sorry with your family. I was yellow and wasn't doing very well and your sisters were like "who is yellow!" all disgusted. Oh they gave it to me good for being in last. That was pretty funny. Your family knows how to have a good time.

Heidi and Eric! How fun that you're coming back soon! I remember being pregnant-ly huge at the same time! Can't wait to see you again!

"Freight Train," oh the memories. All the great games, sports; always fun! That time you gave my wife's leg a little 'hit and run' rub; awkward ;). Putting leftover underwear on Tesch's steering wheel. Pranking your friends from Ricks at 2 in the morning. I still can't find that textbook. Getting pulled over in Iowa for speeding through a cornfield. The wonderful and awful summers you talked us into selling. Living in a trailer. The giggle. Listening to Pat's voicemails. Meeting you late at night in the kitchen in the red brick house and having our little chats.
And Heidi, we can't forget about you... "deal or no deal, what kind of pickle do you like?" classic. Heidi getting embarrassed when we'd catch her and Eric smooching while they we're dating. Driving into the guy's yard and peeling out on the way out, in Iowa. Finding out after living in Laverkin for 20 plus years that the "subway" isn't referring to the famous fast food chain. We love you guy's and miss you!
