I have two requests today that I ask of you, my dear blog readers.
1. I am jumping on the bandwagon (mostly because I feel like I haven't been getting enough comments lately...) so-
Leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. (Or an inside joke- as long as I'm part of it- I love inside jokes.) It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.
2. I've been thinking about adoption lately (what? me, thinking about adoption?!) and ways to improve our profile/website/etc. I thought it would be cool if we had a section that included short letters or memories or such written by our family and friends. I'm not looking for much, but if you are willing to write a little letter about how much you love and adore us (haha) or a funny story about us, or anything, and you don't mind me sharing it with the adoption world, please email me said story at isaacsara1{at}gmail (or my other email address, if you know it.)
I know this is asking a lot, especially on a Wednesday morning, but I believe in you. You can do it.

I hope this will serve both requests:
Although I haven't known Sara and Isaac long, we were able to spend Easter evening with them this year. I can't remember the last time we had gone to a fancy dinner party, so we weren't expecting them to pull out all the stops for us. Well, when we got there and sat down for dinner, we were surprised with little Easter favors on each plate and besides the attention to detail, they had made a fabulous Easter feast. It made an impression on me that although it was only the second time that we really got to hang out with them, they cared enough to make it a special Easter for us.
Thanks guys!
I have a lot of great memories of us playing Barbie-Q's after work, putting on plays on your tramp or making up a secret language (ILongovongeyoungousongaronga. My most favorite times were us in middle school, we have a lot of great memories together. I always wish I could go back to those times, we had oh so much fun being dumb girls. lol.
One of my first memories of you would have to be related to McDonalds. I got so sick of eating there every meal for four days because you would throw a fit if we attempted to eat anywhere else. You probably thought I was being a spoiled brat then, too. I just wanted to get back to Utah so I could get married and I didn't want to go on a sightseeing trip all across the country.
Now, I think you are one of the most wonderful, caring people I know. You guys would make awesome parents, and it breaks my heart when I think about what you are going through. I wish I could help somehow. (Some days I would gladly ship one or more of mine to you.)
We Love You Both!!!!
-Michelle
P.S. Just to clarify- I was eight at the time. I have since stopped throwing fits over McDonalds, and reserve my fits for Cold Stone and Pei Wei.
There really are too many to account for. But I really liked the time when we wanted to see the sunrise so we stayed up all night and into the morning (a lot of things happened during that time period . . shouting through the streets etc . .) When we decided it was time for the sun to come up, we climbed a hill to wait and were attacked by mosquitoes. We then waited and waited and waited in the car but no sun, so we went to McDonalds, because we were hungry, (hey, that came up in another comment) and had hot cakes. By the time we left McDonalds the sun was like in the middle of the sky. That's when we came up with the conclusion that the sun doesn't really rise.
When I think of you I can't help but think of Jenny. You two were always so crazy and were always having so much fun together and making everyone around you die laughing.
Sara, Isaac & I were all part of a group of friends that sat at the same lunch table every day, went to dances together, hung out on weekends & what not. Something that really sticks out though, is when Sara was on crutches (surgery, I think) & Isaac was so sweet to her & helpful. I honestly remember telling another one of our friends that I would not be surprised if they got married & lived happily ever after. & now lookey here! Ever after's well on it's way! You guys really are great! I'm happy to be in touch again.
Me again, I apologize. I was also just thinking about how I was pregnant at your reception & very close to placing that baby in her parents' arms. It's interesting that now it has come full circle, & someday soon you will be the parents whose baby will come through a birthmother. Small world.
ok, i love the memory game.
remember when i came over to your house when you were living in sugarhouse and it was either yours or isaac's bday and you explained to me what a birthday week was...well that was the best visit i've ever made - for selfish reasons of course. i promptly came home and explained to my husband that we were no longer celebrating birthDAY's, but birth weeks. what could be better. i think of you on all of our birthdays and other holidays as well. you guys know how to make eachother feel special on holidays and birthdays and i'm still wishing i was more creative like you and issac when it came to planning and giving. no one does it better.
i remember when we were neighbors in sugar hood, how we would sit on your front lawn and talk as dax would run around. i also remember andrea's shower at your place and how cozy it was - i remember loving your kitchen too. oh, and one more, reconnecting through the wonderful world of blog, i love it! i am glad that we are friends.
Lots of memories...
I remember when September 11th happened and we woke up to the news on your radio and groggily tried to figure out what was going on. It was really cool that when I was able to see Ground Zero last year it was with you.
I loved my visit w/you guys last year. It was so fun to see you and you were so sweet to make my birthday so special!
Dr. Mario....
The quote wall...
Remember that night you were sleeping in the living room and you almost got kidnapped?
I remember you waiting for Isaac to come home and being so nervous that you didn't eat or sleep for a month!
Oh, the memories!
Love ya!
Hey Sara,
It's great to reconnect on the world wide web, isn't it! I loved serving in the young women program with you in Sugarhouse. You had this amazing ability to connect one on one with the girls. You gave the best lessons and was so much fun! Scott and I loved hanging out with you and Isaac, okay, and Dax too! Thanks for the fun times!
i would have to say... probably my memory of you is of crafting together! you always have these super crafty and cute ideas and getting together to make our quilts was just too fun and we need to get together again soon!
I have lots of memories! Although it has been a while, I still have them! Your Michael Jordan/Chicago Bulls obsession is probably what stands out in my mind. And always hanging out with you and Shannon and Johanna. Whatever happened to Johanna anyway? And Johanna's brother almost killing us and going to Provo for her b-day party and getting smoked out of the van. Do you remember that? And your HUGE crush on Chris Thompson. Good times, good times.
sara-

kimi
p.s. im in 4th grade on monday.[ thats why im so smart]
Sara,
What I remember about you is how you could multi task everything. I would go over to your apartment you would be reading a book. Blow drying your hair. While watching a movie and putting on make-up all at the same time. I also remember how awesome all of the date-or-dies were and how we would all get together afterwards and gossip about our dates. Good times
Sara~
I don't know you, and have never met you...yet...but do admit, I'm a blog stalker of yours every once in a while! I got your blog site off of the Price Family Newsletter a few months ago, and have been dropping by ever since :) I married your cousin, Ryan Price (Marji's son) last year, and even though I've never met you, by reading your blogs, I know I would LOVE you :) Hopefully we'll meet someday in person, then I might have a story or two to share!
Pam Price
I remember your wedding reception at my parent's yard. I was kind of jealous that the trees were all bigger and prettier for yours than for mine! I also love that you babysat Daisy for us, and I wish that you were closer so you could do it again! I remember watching Dax for you and Daisy making him crazy and wouldn't leave him alone. I am sure he was happy to get home! I am so glad our puppies are good friends!
I remembering hearing about you from Jon before meeting you. So I was so excited to see you at church. I remember your face when I asked how you were liking Philadelphia. I can't describe it, but it was a total dislike (at the time I was relieved because I think I was feeling the same way). Hope your loving it now! :)
I remember the summer barbeque last year at your house. And since you didn't have a big 'ol bbq grill, the guys were squatting around your little one. :) Good times! I also remember that I brought chips and salsa. And you also made a super yummy drink with fresh fruit. Why do I remember those details?
Hugs!!
Isaac and I had bioengineering classes together at the University of Utah. It's not very often I met someone in my ward who had even heard of bioengineering. And there he was, living it. :) Of course, he's now gone way above and beyond my level of university study.
Love your blog. Sara your photoshop skills are amazing.
Sara,
Oh the memories.... I have too many to just choose one, but some that do stand out are: You introducing our apartment to "Date 'r' Die", which I may add is really why Jeremy and I ended up together :). There is also the fabulous quote wall, watching you being so nervous for Isaac to come home, the PILES of snow that we had the winter we lived together. I'm not sure if you'll remember this or not but I seem to remember an experiment with Bubba's Bagels and doing our best to make one go moldy, we never succeeded :) And the list goes on.
Okay...I am really lame, but I am just trying to come up with THE perfect thing to say. I know what I want to say, but everytime I try to start writing it out, I just mess it all up.
I will keep working on this.
Love you guys!
Kati
Honestly, my memories of you are mostly from reading your blog and saying hello at church! ;) But I've grown to love your sweet smile, witty writing style, and fun personality. Oh, and thanks for allowing my family to room with you guys this week! You are too kind :)
For a more solid memory, I felt bonded to you when I discovered you were adopting. James and I have had our struggles with having children too, and its given me comfort to find others who've also struggled. I always smile now when I see you holding a child, because I know one day your turn will come! <3 Love ya!
A memory I have of Sara:
I remember babysitting you :) wow, that makes me feel old! I remember on one of my babysitting jobs taking you to see "Home Alone" when it was in the Movie Theater ages ago. I also have a vague memory of painting pumpkins together at your house? With Sherie I think?
BTW, I will eventually post your TAG- we just moved apts....:)
