10 years



I relived my passed this last weekend. I went home alone for my 10 year High school Class Reunion.(GO Bulldogs!) Circumstances caused me to go home alone. When would I ever have that again?....
Never.

I slept in the room that was mine in High school; in the dark basement. I stayed up til absurd hours of the night with my friends and siblings and slept in til absurd hours of the morning. One morning it was 9:30 a.m.! I haven't done that for 5 years, maybe more.

I got to visit and just hang out with my family without all the interruptions that children bring. It was absolutely joyous!

I felt like a teenager! (Plus a few years of wisdom and experience.... but probably just only a little bit.)
My friends called me Lisa Lou and we all had the same personalities and mannerisms. I felt like I had never left that part of my life.
I had a wonderful High School experience. My friends were and still are such good people to the core. We helped eachother be good. I have such fond memories!

I bore my testimony in the same ward I grew up in and listened to testimonies of the same people I listened to growing up.

The best part was driving into Safford and seeing the breathtaking temple right on the side of the main highway! Still can't believe that and can't wait to go there!

My only regret.....that I am a lame picture taker. I never get enough pics. I think it's cause I don't want to be the one to tell people, "Look at me!!"..... "Smile for the camera!"

Here's to the end of 10 wonderful years and the beginning of 10 even more wonderful years!

BRING IT ON!

I love that Randon has assumed the "position" just like your dad. The kids who grow up here fare better than us transplants as far a the church is concerned. The collect friends that have the same values over the years. Sarah is a little retisent about making friends. Do you guys get to fly cheap with the military still? Dover is about 45 minutes from my house and an easy pick up. COME!
