Since everyone has a memory post lately

It is funny how a certain time of year will bring out memories of days long ago. My sister just wrote about a few memories of high school and college. My friend Shane just blogged about being married for 5 years and mentioned that this is not where he thought he’d be 8 years ago. So, in honor of Shane and Mandy, I present to you the following list of my memories. It will be a work in progress, so I may add to it at anytime. Also, please do not hesitate to add your own memory to the comments section. I think it will follow in the format of the email forward that I seem to get twice a year, but I will call it, “You know that you grew up in the Clarkston area if:”
