Good times! I miss Jennifer, too! I loved that she called me sister Reed.
This entry warms my heart. Thank you, Shady. I miss you tons.
I had forgotten the Firehouse Subs episode! But those sorts of incidents seemed to happen fairly frequently so I guess they've all blurred together. :)
Do you still have your Toshiro Mifune T-shirt?? You were a terrific designer for those Film Club shirts.
Ha, I loved learning how to sing "Jesus en Pesebre." And I was so excited to go caroling the next day... but then I woke up with a huge fever instead!! I was sooo bummed.
- Our super-tough bike ride through Rogers Ranch! You brought me along for a serious workout.
- Going to Brandon's family's house for a pre-wedding cookout! Everyone was so, so friendly. The burgers were great. And they had tons of shrimp, too, since that's apparently one of his favorite foods? :)
- Leaving a long standardized test in the middle of the day to go eat an off-campus Whataburger lunch in your car at the Wal-Mart parking lot!!! We were half scared, half thrilled. (That must've been during either our Statistics AP or Spanish AP exam? Or perhaps something else.)
- "We have a check on Jeff"
- Getting picked up by you at the SLC airport... you lost your parking ticket and we couldn't leave the airport until we found it tucked away somewhere obvious.. in your purse, I think? Hahaha.
- Hide and go seek around Christmastime with Carley & Matt & and his brother, I think? You & I stuck together and hid in a really, really dark spot in that grassy alley between two fences, and I think the seeker ran right by us!! You had to help me over the fence.. I was pretty clumsy. Hope I remembered that right, hahaha.
- Dying our hair!! That was fun.
- Our lovely voice-recorded PowerPoint on "La leyenda del callejón del beso." Fun times. I was a perfectionist and made us record everything a thousand times. Meanwhile we'd get distracted, e.g., you'd start braiding my hair into French pigtails. Then Mom would get mad at us for having too much fun and not working more quickly, haha.
- Carhopping (very briefly) at Sonic
- Speaking at your wedding reception. Truly a humbling honor.
- Not getting to go to the beach that one time (thanks a lot, Mom) but at least "Sister Reed" wanted us to go :)
- Going to the temple open house!! That place was really lovely.
- Oh, and el rio rojo...
OK, so some of those memories weren't from high school. Oh well!
Here's a few of my favorites from that wintertime photo shoot. (Might have to do some copy-pasting!)

Thanks for the memories, Baby Reed. :)
Do I still have that shirt? I was wearing it when I wrote the post. Seriously.
And one more: Getting in trouble on our Spanish field trip for going back to the bus and making everyone think we were missing.
Of course, that was only after you almost missed the whole trip and I had to remind you in Stats.
Jennifer -- will you be in Houston during Christmas and New Years? Maybe MTB and I can get together with you....
