First let me say thank you to Va Veeka for setting up this blog, this is so fun!Yes, I married Mickey's brother. Who knew Oakcrest would be how I met my husband? We've been married for eleven years now, and we have one son. Eric is nine and loves to camp as much as Robert and I. So we have a great time every summer. I love being a Mom and am lucky to be able to stay at home.
We built a home in West Valley about 7 years ago. The girls in our Stake just came back from Oakcrest and it is so fun to listen to them talk about it. It brings back so many memories. So with the spirit of Oakcrest I bring you my top ten list of things I'll never forget from Oakcrest:
10. the "Jello" song. Every time someone says the word Jello, it runs through my head.
9. Scraper duty. Wished I had one at home.
8. Sheperd's Pie, My son is in heaven when I make it. In the oven of course, not crazy enough to cook in a dutch oven when I don't have to.
7. The mouse who pooped on my bed, every time we were gone on the overnighter. Needless to say I always made my bed.
6. The skunk who tried to steal my jacket on West. I was using the jacket for a pillow at the time.
5. Mickey pounding on the table and asking if I kissed her brother. My girls wanted all the details.
4. those staff shirts. My SIL (at O. in 99) thinks they are the ugliest out of the whole 50 years.
3. Ash fights. I need not say more.
2.Walking around at night and serenading the girls with "Walk Tall". I still love that song.
1. Having fun and teaching the gospel all in the same breath. A goal I strive for with my own family.
Have a wonderful time remembering Oakcrest.

My husband Adam started laughing out loud when he saw our staff shirts. After watching the Oakcrest movie in the Lodge at the Reunion he declared our shirts were the 3rd ugliest of all time right after '82 and '78 respectively. At the time I remember thinking they were actually kind of cool. :)
It's fun to hear from you! So.... did you kiss him?? Ha ha. I mean way back then, not since :)
Hiya Marie -
In my defense - I don't remember asking if you kissed my brother.
I know it is funny, but I thought our shirts were kind of cool at the time too. However, a nice t-shirt would have been nice too.
I actually sing Walk Tall to my girls still!! Usually when they are asleep and it brings tears to my eyes every time.
