Hey Tom- I can't say I have a lot of memories of while you lived with us, I was too busy with Highschool stuff I guess. But I do remember you substituting a time or two in band and I remeber you coming to some band competetions I was in. I am excited that you guys are moving to Utah, it will be fun to see you all. Your family is so cute!
Happy Birthday Tommy - Just wanted to take a second and tell you that I wish you the best and you have a cute family. UPS and all of your gigs, your parrot, and those 2 damn ferretts - those things creaped me out - but the kids and I loved your parrot. Have a great day and keep in touch - Love, Dawn (Eubanks) Cox
Just remembering UPS and all of your gigs - and the kisser from the Guess Who that you convinced me was going to give me a disease when he kissed me. The kids and I loved your parrot, but those 2 damned ferretts creaped me out. Lots of fun - thanks for the memories and have a great birthday.
Well, here is the memory that I have. Do you remember going to a baseball game for the Salt Lake team, whoever they are. You parked out in the surrounding neighborhood which was not the best of areas. I asked you if you thought my purse would be safe in the car while we attended the game. You thought it would be fine if I slid it under the seat. I decided to take it in with us anyway. However, I think someone in the area may have heard part of our discussion because after the game we came back to your car to find that it had been broken in to. The sunroof was pulled off completely and someone had shufflled through your stuff. I don't remember if anything was taken, but I was extremely glad that my purse was hanging safely at my side. It was still a fun night and we had a pretty breezy ride home without the sunroof in place. Were you able to get that fixed? I don't really remember that part.
Another memory I have was after I moved back to Spokane. You came up to visit and we went to Seattle. We went through Pike Street Market and I believe we visited the Aquarium (marine life museum) there also. It was a lot of fun. Your visit left Anthony wondering who you were and what kind of relationship we had. I remember saying goodbye to you at the airport and hurrying back to patch things up with him. We had a great friendship and I sure appreciated your listening ear and sense of humor.
I remember you discovering the recipe for Tator Tot Casserole. You were quite excited about it and explained the whole recipe to me.
I also remember Angie Van and I going to the Salt Lake bar where you were playing your guitar. I also remember the soap opera lives all the band members were living. I remember listening to the updates on their lives from you once in a while and wondering how people could live that way. I still remember a story you told about the lead singer. He was married but not overly committed. I guess he slept with one of the bar waitresses after a performance one night, then he was in the dog house with his wife. Then they made up and their public display of affection was pretty intense. Of all the things I could remember, I guess this one stuck in my head because it seemed so incredibly odd and shocking at the same time!
Hopefully my facts aren't completely off. I did the best I could on the retelling of them. In any case, I hope you have a great birthday!!!! Best of luck in your helicopter training!!!
I know that you don't want to think of the number right now but 40 is a big deal! I can't believe it was 10 years ago when you were worrying about being 30! It seems like yesterday! So much has happened since then. You have a beautiful wife and three beautiful kids! To think that you were so worried about getting booted out of the singles ward back then! ;0) Apparently you had nothing to worry about!
I have tons of memories from our two years! Las Vegas, Park City, looking out at the Salt Lake City lights and contemplating life! Baseball games, ward activities, Junior and Geddy, the Salt Lake temple lights and playing with my niece Meghan when she was a baby, Bear park and the grass in front of the Holiday Dans...oh boy...those were the days!! Ha ha!! Two conversations that seem to be burned into my memory forever. Simply because I am such a jerk!! HA HA!! Your trip back to Connecticut and all of those post cards! My quick life changing move back to Henderson and then phone calls. You have been and will always be a great friend! I truly hope that this next ten years bring you even more happiness than the last! You an Heidi have so many fun things ahead with your kids as they grow and I am excited that you will be here in Utah so that our families can hopefully share some of those experiences!!
Have an amazing day! and remember that you are only as old as you act so you are still in the clear for a while!! he he =0) Give hugs to your family for me!
