I've seen this on a few blogs and think it is so fun. Give it a try!
Here are the directions:
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

Nauvoo is what comes to mind and how incredibly nice you were and still are :0).
So many...
The McConkie house!! Someone parked outside late at night, us freaking out and calling the cops, your PJ's when the cop came and we answered the door!
You making fun of me for spray butter and popcorn!! Every kernel! (I just had that the other night and thought of you!)
JCrew pictures all over the house! Inspiration!!
Smart Ones from Weight Watchers and baked Dorito's.
The list goes on! Thanks for all of the great memories!!
So...in the short time that I was with you in those Lovely Raintree apartments..I actually remember a lot!! I remember always wanting you to just move upstairs with us after me and cara sat with you and holly at some dinner at the church and got along soo well!! I remember going to cheesecake factory at the beach...I even remember what everyone wore and still have a pic in a frame of us 4. And one of my fav memories was being downstairs in the little house you guys were renting and watching 10 things I hate about you and being in love with heath ledger (rip) I was soo sad and totally thought of you!!! And the list could go on...but i'll stop!! But you are so super nice and so fun to hang out with and I am so glad I met you and that I found you again!!!
Where do I even start since I've known you all of my life!! I have SO many memories of us, so I'll just write a few. Most are from high school and college. Walking to Fro Yo to eat yogurt pies after school, walking to Mi Amigos, hanging out at your house every weekend, cruising in the 'stang, always buying the same clothes, swimming senior year, Stew's Honor, Treble Clefs, working at Gas'n'Go together, UVSC, always feeling under dressed in the hall of flags, watching 10 Things a million times, you eating Doritos for breakfast, leaving Provo and crying, moving back to Provo because we missed it, having the most fun in Provo, you not liking melty ice cream, the funnest summer at King Henry, dying because you went on a mission and left me behind, visiting you on your mish and loving it, dying when you met Todd but then I met Ry so it was ok. The list goes on!! So fun to think about all of our memories. Love you!!
I'll never forget the first time I met you at church. I took one look at you and immediately knew we'd be great friends. You were my sanity here in Ithaca when I was going crazy. I'll never forget all the times you made me laugh hysterically at all the random gossip we'd talk about. And you are the best listener in the world. I miss you so much, Abby!!!
I'm so sorry you lost your Grandpa! That's the worst! You will be on my mind...you and Val both! K-can I tell you how cute you are! You are always so positive and upbeat, you make everyone feel like a million bucks! Just wanted to tell you that, and that I love you! If anyone, you are amazing, and such a wonderful Mom and person!
I keep typing and erasing. :) I've got lots of them. One of my very favorites was how funny and sweet you were at my baby shower. You just lit up the room, the life of the party. I sure miss you.
Oh my goodness, right off the bat I can think of SOOO many hilarious thoughts of me and you back in the day. The one that sticks out in my mind the most is our "white-trash" days. Riding in my truck with Kid Rock blaring. And we "thought" we were so cool.
Or what about listening to Kenny G at Powell on Holly's boat.
And ofcourse since Holly already mentioned it. Gas n Go. It was so sad that I didn't even work there but was there as much as you guys.
Oh the good ol' days...
Okay - lets see....
-Your grey tights and striped shirt your mom bought you in jr. high - seriously - why do I have that memory??
-Always loving your hair & makeup. & clothes!! Gorgeous girl.
-You being everyone's friend - I've always, ALWAYS admired how easily you make friends!
-Your sleeping machine
-Your legs!!!!! they rock.
-Weekends at your house
-Utah trip
-Our non-aggressive/silent fights over boys
-me coming over and crying over missing a guy and you being so nice even though you were thinking "WHY?!"
-sour cream sugar cookies
-I am still sad I missed your wedding. You should bring your video up! Not kidding.
-Going to dinner w/ you and Todd up here - that was really fun for me to get to know Todd better.
-AND - there is one that I'll tell you in person that just makes me laugh SO HARD!!
Love ya Ab.
First one that comes to mind, is that you made me cry...i thought i was a bad missionary....but now, we are BFF......I love you and sorry to hear about you grandpa
Abby: My Barf Buddy
Remember when we were sick with stomach flu together (3rd/4th gr.)and our Moms brought us Burger King/Pink Milkshakes and it came out your nose...so sad!!!
And then again a few years later on the floor of the cabin at Girls Camp...me and you shared the barf bowl...that was NOT a fun year at camp.
We need some better memories together, LOL!!!
Oh my gosh...how about the summer lifeguarding on the rez? :)
I also remember your house was were we always seemed to congrigate for friday nights to hang out in high school...ahh...the good ol' days:)
1st: I think of the New port beach trip with our families when we were 9. I learned to boogie board and learned I like asparugus because you were eating in cold right from the can.
2nd: like Sara, I think of your sound machine. I think of this every time I put Olivia in her crib because we bought one for her to drown out the noise from her siblings.
How are you? I love your Blog and you Have such a cute little Family. I hope all is going well for you. I have so many memories of you that just make me laugh. I loved the lipsink we did in our very fashionable clothes that we got from Kumar. I will never forget all the Sams Club Water Bottles that seemed to accumulate. Thanks for all the Memories. Love Rachel(Riches)
oh my, I remember the first time I met you and asked when you were due! What a horrible friend. But you took it very well and to this day I still feel like an idiot! And you are utterly adorable and gorgeous and I think you are wonderful!
Girls nights out and Tuesday morning play groups at your house in Ithaca. Trick-or-treating with our kids in the commons, desperate cravings and long drives to Horseheads for Olive Garden and I could go on and on but I guess I'll stop. It didn't matter what we were doing we just had a blast talking, laughing and being together. You have such a sweet, fun-loving personality that is contagious! Anyone who meets you immediately wants to be your friend. I miss you sooooo much and wish we could live closer but no matter what you will always be my friend (no matter the distance).
I think my first memory is the most memorable although not the most exciting. I remember visiting in Ithaca right before Ben and I got engaged and in Relief Society I was looking around to see if there were people here I thought I would be friends with (it was a little help for me to make my decision to marry Ben while he was still in school or just wait it out). You got up to give an announcement about something, you were 9 months pregnant with John and I remember having two thoughts. The first was how absolutely beautiful you were, not just the most beautiful pregnant person because that was true too, but just stunning all around. Then as I listened to you talk (I don't even remember what the announcement was about anymore but you were funny as always) I just knew we would be friends and I remember being so excited to meet you since I already knew the outcome. It was true, I had so much fun with you, even when we were just hanging out at your house on a dreary Ithaca winter day. You are so strong and amazing to me and I had such fun with you during our time in Ithaca. I miss you!
My favorite memory is how you teared up during the home teaching visit when I shared that I had grown to love your (then only) son while with him in nursery. I'm so glad things are going better for him.
