A few months ago I was face booked by one of the girls I grew up with. She was getting the old gang together, and, as proof in the picture, we got most of us together for lunch the other day.
front row l-r - Sheila, Sydney, Becky
middle row l-r - Jamie, Cindy, Kathy
back row l-r - Janet, me!
One of our friends (Lisa) unfortunately passed away a few months before this outing, but we all agreed she was there enjoying the day with us. Angela couldn't come because she's fighting cancer (didn't want to be out in public with low platelets!!), Shelli had a family wedding, and Diane couldn't get a flight. But that's us. The 18th ward young women.
Oh, the memories. Sherry Knight; a teacher that we were merciless to. We found every and any way to make fun of her. From the way she wrote 'For Natalie" on the top of EVERY handout she gave me, to how the song 'Stroke Me, Stroke Me' reminded her of her college days.... you know! Because she was on the rowing team, of course. And especially because she told us, with a very heavy heart and tears a-flowin' that she would probably need to be released because she committed a sin. She had gotten her dog fixed, and unbeknownst to her the dog was pregnant so she gave her dog an abortion. Yup. The woman was quite the sinner! And then there were the sleepovers. We had many, many, many sleepovers. Mostly at Lisa's house because she was the only child left at home, where we all had younger brothers and sisters. We were young and dumb, that's all I have to say!
We are now planning another get together, but this time inviting some of the young men we grew up with in the ward. Good people. Good memories. Good times!
