I think it's been ...Shelley,<BR/><BR/>It's been a long time. I think it's been more than 10 years. Your oldest daughter totally looks like you. I did a double take when I first logged onto your blog. <BR/><BR/>Isn't that surprising that I'm going to be an eye ball surgeon? Who would have thought? I was pretty sure I was going to be a vet too. Oh well. I still have a cool fish tank and we recently had chickens (but they had to go). I thought your post about remembering life with the Waites was great. So true. I just don't buy the kissing story. I've heard it but I also don't remember it. I always thought my first kiss didn't happen until I was like 17 (I was always kind of shy). I think that's funny about us walking home together from school and getting made fun of. We basically grew up with each other like brother and sister. Do you remember running around on summer days with no shoes on and consistently stubbing our toes? Riding big wheels? Finding lady bugs? Growing up in Reno was great. Are your parents still there on Joshua Rd? <BR/><BR/>As you can tell from Carolyn's blog we're living in Memphis right now. I did BYU undergrad, U of Utah for med school and am now training here to be an ophthalmologist. 2 girls ages 1 and 3. Eden and Ava. They're really cute (they take after mom). Anyway, I'm glad to hear things are going well for you. Sorry this comment is like a big email. <BR/><BR/>Aaron.Aaron Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958668413408120768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648149270170944073.post-16980119060641230412008-02-24T15:48:00.000-07:002008-02-24T15:48:00.000-07:00Marleen called me to tell me about your blog. Wow!...Marleen called me to tell me about your blog. Wow! You remember a lot about our family. It was so fun going down memory lane and remembering and learning new things about my siblings. You were correct. I was the one who went through the garage door. My dad and I were driving back from somewhere and I thought I was using the brake, but instead I was using the gas. I remember saying "I am so sorry, Dad" a million times. He was not happy. After that, the news went out and everyone at church heard about what happened. I was so embarrassed.Sister Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985116107525411166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648149270170944073.post-5317938591542094892008-02-23T11:49:00.000-07:002008-02-23T11:49:00.000-07:00What a great jog!

I was sent over...Hello Shelley, it's Aaron's wife. I was sent over here by non other than Miss Darleen. Loved the jog. I was laughing because knowing the Waites as I do, I could just imagine all of the those things. When Aaron comes home from his soccer game, I'm totally going to grill him on who was his "real" first kiss??? And then I'm going to blow his mind, when I actually know it was when he was only 3 years old and with Shelley Upton! Hey just to play the name game since you live in St. George... my older sister lives there too. Her name is Jill Simmons. I'm sure Aaron will be popping his head in on your blog shortly!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404835494800745419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648149270170944073.post-15180518933776239072008-02-22T13:05:00.000-07:002008-02-22T13:05:00.000-07:00So, Darleen calls me up breathlessand laughing and...So, Darleen calls me up breathlessand laughing and then shares with me how you left a comment on her site and then posted about our family. Thanks for sharing. Some of those memories I had forgotten. I loved growing up in Reno and I love having your family as neighbors. Your mom made some amazing barbie doll birthday cakes. Are your parents still working? I remember your dad was teaching at Reno High and your mom working at Sears. I'm really surprised all of this is coming back to me. Your family looks great and I love your cupcake blog. I'll have to try some of those yummy looking recipes.Marleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048818925662914087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648149270170944073.post-3894765395170964022008-02-22T12:31:00.000-07:002008-02-22T12:31:00.000-07:00Shelley!!!!

Wow, that brought back MANY, MANY memories. I have to go tell all the Waites to read that. So cool! Just so you know alot of them have blogs too--linked to my blog--Merry Marleen (Marleen), Waite for Carolyn (Aaron), Brad's Mumbo Jumbo (Julene).<BR/><BR/>How crazy that you found me!?? I have thought of you so often. Your family is so beautiful. I'm not surprised though! I always knew you would be an awesome Mom. How are your parents? Do they still live in Stonegate? Isn't Reno so different from when we lived there?? Okay, well I'm so excited that I now get to keep tabs on you (hope you don't mind). :)<BR/><BR/>P.S.-- I still have a few those teddy bear figurines that you gave me!Darleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127216243226617713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648149270170944073.post-23423794846826698402008-02-22T10:50:00.000-07:002008-02-22T10:50:00.000-07:00HAHAHAHAH Shell.
