Blast From the Past!
Over the past year I have become reacquainted with some friends from the past.

Deanna Sanderson, Me and my little Sis, Sarah. 1986
Like my peach satin dress? I just contacted Deanna this week for the first time in almost 11 years.

Rachelle Bolingbroke and I. Sea World, 1990. Rachelle called me this year after 15 years.
My BYU Roomies and our Family Home Evening "Bros." Fugal Hall, Heritage Halls, 1989.

I had my freshman year roommate, Becky Long (green sweater) call me out of the blue. Jennifer (Steele) Walker, (middle girl on left) and I have kept in contact over the years. She currently lives on an Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, The Azores.

Jeannette (Stewart) Mortensen and I have contacted each other now and again over the last 16 years. Here she is in 1993, I was always jealous of her incredible hair. Now, through the blogging world, we are able to keep in regular contact and see each other's family.
Reconnecting with old friends is so much fun. Old times are so much fun to revisit. . So, if you've been thinking about a dear friend from the past,
GO FOR IT! look them up.

Debie, you are so cute cute and still cute. I love your peach dress. Its the 80's vogue for sure. I love reconnecting with old friends. I do it alot. I have them spread all over the world. One of my friends is Barbie. I hooked her up with a Ken at Ricks. It didn't last though. I wanted them to have a little Skipper. No luck there. Loved this post. I was really coming over here to say that I am still a wee bit concerned about the whole Barnes and Limited thing. I am still not settled on it. I'll let you know how I will repay you guys.

Jan, you are so funny.
Debie, I must have missed the peach satin dress because the spiky mullet was blinding me! Oh, the 80's....let's pray they never come back!

When I first saw that picture of me, the black and white one of Britton popped up on the side. We have the same nose and cheeks! Thats so crazy you have found so many friends lately - I bet its fun to catch up! You need to plan a trip to California (via Utah!) to see Deanna and everyone!

Crap ya gotta love the 80s. That is so neat that you found and contacted your old friends. I am inspired now!

I resolved it with the girls. We have a plan and now I have a better understanding of the conversation. It is going to be fun to get relief from this guilt I have for some reason. Love you peaches and cream with mullet on top. I mean cherries. oops.

Those pics were awesome. I did love your hair in the first one! :)

Debie Spurgeon said...

Posting this pic. I was more self-conscious of the NICE dress and bright blue eyeliner lining the inside of my eyes than the hair. But now I'm just self-conscious about the whole thing :) What I'm wondering is why my my friend Deanna looks so classic and timeless, and I look like that????

Jeanette said...

Wow that's me. I look so young! They needed a photo of me in YW from my college days & I found that same pic. of me. I also found a photo I took of you when you tried red hair. I still like it even though you didn't. I love "Memory Lane".

Ms. Kristen said...

Hey I had the same dress!!! You look super!!!!
It is fun to talk with old friends...they are always the same!

Loved the 80's music, and some of the styles, (peach satin dress included) I had a satin dress too back in the day, but the hair in the 80's? OUTRAGEOUS! This was so fun, and I honestly think you are so awesome to post some pictures of you in the past! You look great, and I agree. The blogging world has connected me with my old high school friends too! So fun!
