Quest to Pull Together My Past


It was a beautiful night downtown tonight and thanks to Scully, I was able to go to the Tab Christmas Concert, which was great... bet y'all never thought you'd hear the choir making animal noises in a song... yep, we had them moo-ing, neighing, and baa-ing... priceless. Seriously though, it was a wonderful concert that I hope everyone gets a chance to attend.

On another note, after talking with Scully and Brynn tonight about our past adventures downtown, I've become quite concerned that many of those memories of my past are gone... I've totally accepted my memory isn't that great, but to forget such random and funny things seems like a tragic loss. After ruminating about it all night, I decided the solution was to write them all down, and since I can't remember everything, my next solution is to email all my friends and open up comments here for those of y'all out there that might have graciously allowed me to be part of your life and have a few good memories to share.

Below is the email I sent out to all my peeps. And thanks to Facebook, shameless plug, it's pretty easy to have ready access to so many wonderful peeps that I've been blessed to know in my life!

So tonight I spent the evening with two die hard lifelong friends in downtown Salt Lake enjoying the christmas concert, lights and food of the season. While manuevering through the crowds, my two friends began talking about a Utah Jazz game we had all 3 attended about 8 years ago. I 100% don't remember anything about the night, but apparently we had a great time courtside and topped off the night when I talked/schmoozed a horse-drawn carriage driver into taking us to our car in style for free. Apparently, it was quite the carriage ride that whole block to our car as he wove back and forth through the parking lot to "give us our money's worth".

Well, you see, it's got me worried... I've been thinking about it all night. What else have I forgotten? What other random, crazy, spontaneous memories have been lost. Anyone spending time with me quickly comes to realize I dont have the best memory, and I've realized there are probably quite a few past memories that are in this brain of mine, stuck.

So, I have a favor of you. Would you be willing to jot down (in the electronic version of jotting) the memories about me you have that stand out? Y'know, those random, crazy, or spontaneous moments we enjoyed together. I would so hugely appreciate it! I want to put them all together for my memories sake.

Thanks so much, Lori.
Have any memories? Go ahead and post them here. Much appreciated!
