I've done this before but it was kind of a flop, but I just left some memories on other blogs so I thought I had better put it on again, so they could keep things going if they wanted to.
So, what you do is you leave a comment with a memory of me (or someone in my family.) It can be serious, an embarrassing moment, whatever you feel like writing. Then I will assume that you are playing along with the little "Memory Game" and I will come over to your blog and leave a memory of you on your comments as well.
If you feel like playing along, post these same instructions on your blog and keep the memories going. I think it will be fun to see what happens and to find out what silly memories people come up with. Let the games begin...

Oh, wow, where to start? I just don't even think you realize what an amazing person you are or what an awesome example you are.
One of my favorite memories too is that first time I came V.T. to you. I remember how worried I was about my kids buging and how stressed you were about your house (and I really was looking around thinking "What are you so worried about? It smells so good and your house just feels so homey." I just really thought you were amazing from that first conversation I had with you.
This memory is something that isn't one particular memory, but a combination of a bunch. You are SO AWESOME TO TALK TO! You are hilarious, you are down to earth, you are wise beyond imagination, you are spiritual but not judgemental, you are considerate, and you are so kind. And you are so beautiful. Your dimples kill me. What I wouldn't give to have your dimples. Your whole face lights up when you smile, and I love it!
Okay, another memory you have to hear. When we asked you to do that little enrichment night at your house and you taught us all about the things you do to be more frugal, my jaw was seriously on the floor for days. I left that meeting thinking, "Is there anything she can't do?" Seriously you are amazing. When we talked about when Bill and I start finishing our basement and you said that you could help with anything because you had done a bathroom by yourself I was amazed. You are really one of those women that I admire SOOOO much because I think you could do anything you try. Crap, you could be a pioneer and kick the men's butts! You are awesome! (In fact, I think you have made the men look like wimps before - Bill said that when he was over helping the Brewers move that you were running circles around all of them! He was super impressed!)
Anyway, you amaze me all the time and I think you are one of the most influential people I have ever met. You really are a blessing to others and you have been a huge influence and blessing in my life and you probably didn't even realize it. Thank you for being you and for letting me be your friend.
I too have enjoyed getting to know you better through our blogs. But I do have a memory of you not to long ago bearing your testimony in church. It touched me a lot and I never got the chance after to thank you for sharing it! You are the neatest person and I feel I have somewhat had the oppurtunity to know you a through your children in primary!
But yes, we all need to get together and do a BBQ I think that is a great idea!
Okay, my first memory of you was when you and Laurie and I got together at my house to make ribbon boards and I LOVED the fabric you picked out. I loved listening to your stories. You tell the best stories.
I remember the first Christmas party we went to at your house and how much fun it was and I was so sad we missed it this last year. That won't happen again!
If we are talking about memories with your kids...I have a million.
But a memory that will always stick with me (and probably Adam too) is how you and Mike told us that you had sat in the exact same pew in the Chapel since before you were married. When we had to switch ward buildings, I remember Adam was so concerned for you guys having to break that tradition.
One other funny memory I have was at Pine View for the Elder's Quorum Party. You were still pregnant with Harrisen (I had just had Lexi) and you were talking about refinishing your bathroom. I remembering thinking how awesome you were for doing all of that. AMAZING!!
Lots of fun memories to choose from.
