Memories and First Impressions...

Everyone seems to be doing this right now so I guess I'll hop on the bandwagon!!! It could be fun --- 
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory and your first impression that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember--it can be funny, weird, awkward, random, etc.!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave
a me
mory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

This could be fun! I know it's kinda old doing things like this after a while, BUT
I look forward to your comments!!! This could be fun.

I honestly don't remember the first time we met. But I do remember when you did your "farewell performance" in my dorm room and I don't think I had ever laughed so hard.

Sarah said...

I remember seeing you teach a lesson in Relief Society. You were very pregnant with Carter, and still wearing high heeled boots. I was impressed with your fashion sense; and I know I enjoyed the lesson - but I have no idea what it was about. Kinda random.

I have so many memories, but the first one that comes to mind is when you came to my house and made me clean my room. You made me go through everything and throw out so much trash and get rid of a lot of clothes. You told me that if I didn't wear it in a year to get rid of it. . . we were only 10 or 12. You probably have a very organized house. :)

My memory: The first time I met you- driving up to Gunlock- & you & Cassie giving Melissa, Lisa & me the scoop on all the guys who would be there. Duncan was "the player and slow driver". I also remember you telling all the funny stories of Brad & his speeding tickets.

Duncan's: You pulling the successful roommate switcheroo. The task once thought to be impossible.

I remember... We met at Chili's for dinner. I also had a good first impression. I remember telling Spencer in the truck that you and Sean seemed very nice and Funny. I also remember you were prego with Carter!!! I thought you were a cute pregnant girl.

Nana said...

When I first met you, you were tiny and red and had lots of dark hair and cried alot. We decided to keep you anyway and you have grown into a wonderful wife and mother under our training..

Val said...

I guess I first remember you just hanging out in mine and Emily's dorm room with the rest of us. My favorite memory is when we spontaneously drove up to McCall and took all those funny pictures at the gas station with the beer can and the Marlboro sign. And then I got my first and only speeding ticket on the way home! That was the best road trip!

The first time we met..I was moving in to Alpine Court (yeah for the old school days) I met you first and I thought..ohh man, she's like a hottie..that means no dates for me.EVER. Turns out that impression was true..and I hardly dated, Oh well. But I was way excited to have you as a room mate, I also thought you were going to be fun!

Carolyn said...

The first time I remeber meeting you was when we all got togther at Anna and Alex's house. We were all pretty new to the ward and just wanted to hang out. You seemed very nice and very sure of yourself. I am glad that I have gotten to know you better and I am totally right about you being friendly and confident!

christina said...

The first impression would have to be moving to Alpine Court too. Lex and I had just gotten back from living in a shack in Jackson Hole all summer. So we started going around the whole apt saying how awesome and nice it was, and you looked us like we were crazy!

My memory would be when we went to a Jazz game with Chris and we ate way too much food. You ended up getting really sick. So on the drive home, you had to pull the car over and puke. I remember laughing so hard...was I that mean or were you laughing too? Oh, still makes me laugh thinking about it!

Jessica said...

I'm pretty sure I was laughing too Christina!! I remember I barely made it out of the car and got it on my shoes--gross!!

Emily said...

why don't i know that basketball story?! GROSS! this post must be very good for your self esteem, eh jess?!

Sandi and Curtis said...

Jessica,
I remember meeting you as you moved into our Ward. We lined up my youngest daughter with your single brother. What a connection for us...NOT them! Ha ha. I so love the spirit you carry and how you express yourself. You are a very special lady.

Jessica said...

why do you think I did it Emily?!? ha ha ha

Stef said...

Okay Jess. I have many memories of you, all great, but one of the funniest was when we hung out for the first time... It was a dark and scary Halloween night and we had been invited to a costume party at the "Smiths" (we'll keep their name anonymous). So you and Sean decided not to dress up but Dan and I felt obligated so I showed up in pjs and a robe (easy "just woke up" costume) and Dan threw on some scrubs and became DR. DAN. The party consisted of half the "Smith's" family and after they all started singing we decided we had to get out of there! We tried to figure out some way to leave the party without it being obvious that it blew. Dan and I made the scoot then came you and Sean. I think our plan had spoiled, but going to the movie in our costumes afterwards was great and the kids in the parking lot asking Dan where Krispy Kremes was just topped it off! All in all we're so glad that the party stunk!

Stef said...

Okay, one more thing...I'm sure all of your friends feel the same way, but it's so much fun to make you laugh... especially when you were pregnant and you could tell it hurt you to laugh by the way you tried to hold it back!

Jessica said...

Stef--that's one of my favorite memories of all time!!

Jen F said...

I remember the first time I flew with you and Russ to Phoenix to meet the fam and when we got to the airport to go home apparently we had miscalculated our departure time because we were about to miss our flight so there we were running like mad to make it to our gate.

Jessica said...

I completely forgot about that Katie! That was funny!

And hey Jenny! I'm glad you left a comment!
