Blast From The Past.


Before I even begin I need to say that last night I had 8 straight hours of sleep! It was amazing! J.J went for 10 hours last night. Its every mother's dream now I just hope it becomes a habit. Also, for all those wondering Joel and I have decided to stay in Saskatoon for Christmas. Being we have to be there in February for the Chem-Dry convention and the trip with mom and dad to the Dominican we will just come for like 3 weeks or so. It sucks but spending $1800 at Christmas and then another $1800 two months later is kinda nuts. Anyways, I was driving home from some errands a few days ago listening to the radio when this Michael W Smith song came on. It was like the hazy lines you see on tv when people are remembering the past. All the sudden I was at my 13th Birthday Party at the Forum roller skating rink for the Christian skate night. Me and Cherry were extatic b/c we had just finished a couple skate to "That's What Love Is For" by Amy Grant with what we believed at the time to be our soul mates (Steven Flaming for her and Ben Fleming for me) They held our hand and not just ANY way..no, the BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND WAY!!!!*insert 13 year old girl scream here!* its funny all these years later and when I hear that song I am totally taken back to that moment. Anyways, listening to this old school Michael W Smith made me think back over all the people that I knew and went to school with and so I decided I would start to hunt them down. I found old school buddy Becky Ellis (now Tacoma) and we chatted it up for a few hours. We had actually talked about 3 1/2 years ago so we were semi in touch with eachother's lives. The really crazy part was when I found one of my old classmates from Elementary school. we went to high school together too. For all my family wondering it was Heather Barnett (now Hack) She is doing great. It was so fun to talk to her. The best part is that she still talks to the other girls I graduated with so when we are home in February we are gonna try and all get together. I can't wait that will be so fun! Anyways, it totally made my day and it really made me think that if people pop into your head...FIND THEM! To anyone out there that may read this and i don't know post and say Hi. I have realized that your heart is made up by people's footprints. Some are good and some are bad but they all play a part in making you. You have so many relationships throughout life some last forever and some don't but never forget them. Some people like to hold onto a grudge but then so much time passes you don't even know what the problem was that started it. Life is too short to have a list of enemies. I know this was kinda outta character for me but I really did have an amazing day and I am so happy to know that I will be able to reconnect with these girls that i havent talked to in 10 years!!! man, i feel old! well in closing think on this... Love like you've never been hurt, Sing like no one can hear you, and Dance like no one is watching!

Yeah, I like looking up people from my past, too! It's amazing who you can find with GOOGLE! I've actually tracted down people and found out what they have been up to, by looking at old newspaper atricals and stuff like that online! Also, Classmates.com is a fun way of seeing who is still around....of course you have to PAY to contact them, but at leased it gives you a name and possible location! Only 4 of the 9 people in my grad class still live in S'toon.
