Memories....

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 (if you have one) and leave one about you.

Thanks to Rachelle Brown for this fun blogging idea!

I remembered when we went to the pumpkin patch. I had never been to a pumpkin patch before. IT was a lot of fun getting totally lost in that maze! haha.; July 21, 2008 at 9:39 PM
Rachelle said...: I remember getting lost a few times while we were trying to find some random park and we finally found that strange hidden park/carnival place. I remember talking about mom stuff and how to cook without meat. I also remember that I drove into a hole and my car got stuck and you and Kaelene had to help me out.
