This is fun!
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 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. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

I've been waiting. . .
Since I have a lifetime of memories with you, I will limit myself to the top 3. In no particular order:
1) laying in bed at night when we lived in Stoneridge and you asking me question after question. The only way I could get you to shut-up would be to say "only 1 more question, Ani." Kinda sad now that I think about it.
2) When you came to pick me up from Ricks (you were wearing overalls and had braces) and the first thing you said, before hello, was "You know that chair in our room, you can't put your stuff on it anymore."
3) When we lived in Placerville you told me that I used to much gel in my permed hair. I was super offended that a 8 year old little girl would give me, a mature 16 year old advice- but you were right- too much gel and hairspray, although I had to keep my bangs up somehow.
And of course, when you gave birth to Kate. That is definitely the best sister memory ever.
Love you- and all our fun memories together!!
I remember you telling me how you took your engagement pictures when it was cold, but you'd be getting married when it was war so you were dressed in more summer type clothes. You said you were freezing and trying to look like you were enjoying a nice summer day. (we totally did the same thing).
Memory #1 I remember when you lived up in Placerville and we used to have the same tennis shoes and we would race to tie them the fastest.
Memory #2 When Danielle had her school and we pressed flowers and made them look pretty on paper. I think we made bookmarks or something like that.
Old times.
working at Carol Gardner's and watching her granddaughters call our mom's the "twin ladies."
also, when mike left on his mission, you let me make a burned cd (remember how people used to burn cd's compare to copy to the ipod) of the songs that you and mike had that i liked. I still have that cd. I didn't know what to call it so i just wrote "ani's cd" on it.
Lake Powell! Boating... Sleeping under the stars; tubing until we bled, having crushed on two of the boys that were there. Reading our scriptures on the doc before bed. I miss those days! I love you!
meeting you the first time at the pyramid dance and thinking how cool you were.
Finding out that you had made out with you know who! :)
Going to random bands and dancing the night away at HOllywood (I can't remember the name)
Too many memories to out them all down here! Life was fun when you were around
driving back from that job fair in slc and realizing i'd heard all about you from logan back in the day and being blown away what a small world it is.
our rides to summer practicum. we had some good talks.
shopping together at nordstrom's rack--you turned me onto "see thru soul" jeans and i bought the most expenisve pair of shoes i've ever bought with you. :) you were always a far better dresser than i so i appreciated any tips you had for me!
passing notes back and forth with you during class. but never during yours, katie!!!:)
you literally made our major so fun and bearable. miss ya hun!!!
I have several memories with you... but I think my all-time favorite is SPRINTING to Ashleys car after seminary to get a parking spot in the senior lot...Not to mention Ashley's Bug was usually full of stuff so me you and Taylor Lark would practically sit on one another in the back seat! The best days were when your cute sack lunch would rip as we were sprinting and you would try and pick it up before another racing car ran you over.... oh the good ole days!
Oh man, so many fun ones! I dont even know which one to put.
I will have to go with out little routine on the sea-dos in Powell. If that wasn't so cool I don't know what was. Another fun memory from that trip was waking up and you saying how you didn't sleep all night "come down stairs and I'll tell you about it"
so many, so many. some of my favorites are probably when we lived in the UAC and you would always make me the most yummy salads on the planet. talking about creepers, riding bikes in hawaii, killing cockaroaches in hawaii, killing rats in hawaii, meeting your husband in hawaii, laying on the beach doing absolutely NOTHING in hawaii, dancing naked and skinny dipping in the pacific ocean, jared our history teacher/neighbor....i could go on and on. i think my all-time favorite memory though would be the time when we finally got your trunk open in silver shoes and what did we find? BA BA BAAAA: rollerblades! i love how at that moment, we barely said anything, put them on, and conquered the streets of provo for the next two hours. yellow killers, white killers, "this sidewalk is from the year 1856."
i love you ani. hope we'll have many many more memories.
oh aniski where do i start! well there are the dorms when we lived on the same floor and then you got your own room! and then there is when we went to hawaii and we had rats, you met matt, and how could i forget us loving to use maui babe! i wish we lived closer so we could use that stuff again together!
sitting in the back of class rolling our eyes at our professors and talking trash on our weirdo classmates...
I remember the first time Matt told me he thought he was gonna marry you...he was sooooo giddy--something that was totally different for him! I just remember how happy he was about it all...you guys are just too cute!
i remember when i found out you were engaged and going to be moving to california to do your student teaching-- i was so impressed with how organized you seemed to be in figuring out how you were going to work that all out.
and i also remember thinking you were so beautiful for class EVERY DAY! you always got ready and wore cute clothes-- something that i am not always very good at :).
My favorites...
In the hospital, the day after you were born, taking a nap with you curled against me, in the afternoon when no one was there, then waking up surprised and excited to see you there!
Your third birthday party, running from activity to activity, clapping your hands (kinda like you still are)
Seeing you in bed a night, reading your scriptures, every single night, even when you were so sick, you would ask me to read them to you, so you wouldn't skip a day.
When you called telling us about meeting Matt...
Seeing you walk out of the temple holding Matt's hand.
You holding your new daughter for the first time.
Mom
The first thing that comes to Chris's mind is: "When you were a little girl I read a story to you backwards." I guess you were old enough to notice and for many years afterwards you asked him why he did it. That's Chris for ya.
