I remember watching you. You were more a friend of Chuck than myself since I didn't go to your YSA. I would watch you because I found it fascinating that you looked so sharp but you were so friendly.
I shouldn't admit this because it's a horrible thing but I was waiting for some kind of catiness or meanness to come out, which I thought would have been typical of a beautiful girl.
It never happened though. You were solid to your friends and solid in the church and I was so impressed. It is possible to be that genuine of a friend and I found it refreshing.
Thanks for that time when you renewed my faith in friendship by watching how you were with your friends.
aww Jen...you are TOO sweet. really. I was so thankful for Chuck at that time in my life..I was struggling with alot of diff things and you have no idea how many times he gave me inspired blessings. I really think he kept me on the right path at that time in my life. I was SO happy when he found you...you are one of the sweetest, FUNNIEST girls i've ever met...and a true inspiration as a mother! I love you!
p.s and I think you are BEAUTIFUL.
Ha Ha...I already left my memory of you on my blog. Let's see what else I could say. I remember one week you were teaching the lesson in RS and you mentioned something about your husband...(don't ask me what you said, cause I don't remember) but I do remember thinking, my husband is like that too. Anyway, you are a good teacher. Also, it's fun to go running with you too.
I remember that trip to the cannery we took a million years ago (it seems like that). I didn't even know you and you were nice enough to give me a ride. We talked the whole way there and back. And I remember thinking, she is just so easy to talk to. I also love the way you teach. That lesson you just gave on Sunday was really touching. It was a very hard topic, but you did a fabulous job! I've never told you this, but you remind me of my sister. And she is awesome! Love ya Nicole!!
I'm sure you have many wonderful memories about
your mission, but I also have some great memories
of you too. Do you remember all those "slightly" longer dinner appointments sitting around the table
with my delicious salads and listening to the stories of my life... THANKFULLY my life is not quite so full of
drama anymore, but I would give anything to be
able to sit across the table from you now over a
tasty salad and talk about how wonderful and yet
different our lives are at this point....
so i have many many many memories with you. hmmm where to start...
1. i remember the first time i saw you was at one of the wscc bbqs. you had your little a-line blonde hair and i thought to myself she's a really cute girl....but i bet she is not friend material. guess i was wrong! then you came up to me because you recognized trent from him helping you move in. you talked all about the baby whisperer...or nazi (just kidding)
2. you calling at 8 every morning. i can always tell if it's going to be a good day or a bad day by the tone of your voice:)
3. our many many conversations throughout every day
4. being pregnant with you and being at the same stages in our pregnancy and our girls' lives has been a treasure. i was equally excited when you called me after having erika and you were said, guess what? i thought for sure she was a boy. no she was a 10 pound baby and you had her naturally.
i have learned so much from you and i really love our friendship. you have become more of a sister to me and i love you so much!!
my very first memory of you is when you invited Chad and I over to your house for new years eve. I can't remember the game we were playing but you were hilarious.
Then I remember when you were just barely pregnant with Erika and we were at a girls night at Danielles house. By the way you were acting it was totally obvious you were pregnant and you were joking around about it and I just came right out and asked you if you were. It got really quite and I think Danielle whacked me on the leg and said something like "you're not suppose to point it out!". I was pretty embarrassed. I have quite a few....so I'll write about a few more. Another memory. I found out about Chads affair the day of your baby shower and coulnd't make it. So I think it was the next day I brought the present over. I knew you could tell something wasn't quite right but you didn't say anything. You did a great job of talking about our pregnancies and taking the focus off the weirdness for me.
Ok. One more. When you did my make up for my pregnancy pictures. You made me feel so pretty. You were really trying to get some contractions started so you were pushing the couch this way and that way, and really just bouncing around. I still will always wonder how you pushed out a 10 pound baby, I couldn't push out an 8 pound baby!
Love you Nicole.
Thank you for your sweet memories on my blog...but I think I have got to say the same. I still remember meeting you for the first time and just being so grateful to have a friend in Portland where I didn't know hardly anyone (and I still remember seeing Steve for the first time and thinking it was Noah from a distance). I also remember sitting in your bathroom and you doing my makeup just for fun as we chatted. And then I loved the time that I got to go and hear you speak about Usana and how it has changed your life. You are a very empowering person to others and will continue to do so much good to those around you! I'm grateful for our friendship.
Well said.
