Taryn (and others)

Taryn,

I was thrilled to see your comment on my blog.  I've been thinking a lot about my friends lately.  I tried to e-mail you (Taryn) but it came back to me as undeliverable.  I'd like to catch up, will you please email me?

I went looking for a picture of us together, and I don't have one of the two of us alone.  But, when I was looking I found some great pictures of lots of my friends.  There was a fun pic of my roommate, Amber, when she broke the leg off the table.  There were some fun pictures of me and my college debate partner, Christy (and every time I see spicy snack foods, I think of you).  There were pictures of me and Shanan, who is a dear friend who writes the best letters I've ever received.  There were pictures of Brandon, Michelle, Julie (love you dear!), Rachel, Tegan, my cute sisters, Shanda, Amanda, Jennifer, Deana, Heidi and lots of others.  I know there are lots of people who I don't have pictures of who have made a difference to me.  There are people I didn't list who I love and miss.

If you're out there blog stalking me, will you just say hi?  There are stories that we share and moments that I remember when I'm doing X or hear that one song (thanks for drawing attention to this, Deana) and I'm swept back to that moment.  There are miles between us, and years gone by, but when I talk to a long lost friend, it's like no time has passed.  And, despite the time, and distance, I still cherish our friendship!

Love,
Jill

Jill -
I read your blog often, and I rarely comment on any blogs, but this was a cute post, and I wanted you to know that I definitely remember our friendship, in the good old days of BHS debate, and I'm so glad that you and your family are doing so well.
Love,
Rachel (Harper) Fisher

I remember debate of course, but I also remember eating the most delicious tomato sandwiches at your house (which i have tried to replicate allm these years and have failed at). I also remember how I always thought you were one of the most genuine persons I had ever met.
