- We all were in education of sorts.
- Two worked at a school, and one was going to school
- One was 28, one 19, and one 18
- Two from Alpine, one from Cedar Hills
We did many fun things together. We played in the snow, had a 'sleepover' party in the living room (let me tell you how uncomfortable the floor is LOL) for Christmas, celebrated birthdays (I tried to keep some traditions alive), and laughed a lot.

For Easter '08 we decided to take 'new' pictures. We came home from church and took some pics, then changed and went out walking.
We ended up being at Moyle Park and took some more pictures
As I mentioned before, the experience of being with these two changed my life. We had many, many good times and lots of fun; but I also feared for life - not only for myself, but for them too. We each had very strong personalities, and being such, there were times of yelling and hating. Many nights of staying up late talking, many tears shed and feelings hurt.
Don't get me wrong, I love them both and I know they loved me back, but it was SO very different than living with Allison, Kali, and Erin. Lots of tension and stress. It really wore me down, not only physically, but emotionally. However, I am grateful for the opportunity I had to live with them. It was a good way for me to experience a touch of what I may encounter (tho I pray I don't) when I have my own children. It also helped me realize what I may have put other people thru while I was growing up and making bad choices.
Luckily, I like to stay focused on the positive things that happened (they had a surprise birthday party for me... balloons all over the floor, cake, full on party decorations and everything!) and remembering all the good times we had.
2010 update:
- One still lives in Alpine
- One moves around a lot
- One lives in Orem
- Sadly, we don't keep in contact with each other much
