Yesterday we went with some friends (Hannah and Bridget and their families) to Thanksgiving Point for the $2 Tuesday. I had no idea this existed until Monday of this week, but apparently all of Utah knows. It was pretty crowded but not too bad. All the kids had fun playing and the adults had fun too. While we were in the last room and the kids were digging in the sand, one of my good friends (Kerri) comes up and says hi. It was a fun surprise but she lives in American Fork so I wasn't too surprised to run into her and her family. However the next people I ran into was a complete surprise. When Sharon and I were young we were in a performing group called Small World Entertainers, we did it for about 4 or 5 years. we stopped when I was 12 and I really hadn't seen to many people from it since besides the few that went to the same junior high and high school however last night I ran into a couple of sisters that were in Small World with us. (Sharon and Mom it was Kristen and Kari Maruj) I saw the girls with their kids and I saw the mom and dad and I thought for sure it had to be them because they all pretty much looked the same but older. So finally I work my nerve up to go say hi and they said we totally thought it was you but Kari (who is my age) said but you looked way too young. WE thought that girl looks just like Diana Field but there is no way because she's too young. That made me feel really good. Sharon they say "hi"to you.
After Thanksgiving point we went to JCW's with the friends we went with and the Hammonds. It was such a fun day and it's so great ot have random meetings like that you might say it is a Small World after all (he he)

How cool is that!! BTW what is JCW???
Kari Maruji? Did she happen to serve in the Hiroshima mission? That really would make it a 'Small World'! We were there at the same time.
I ran into a friend from college that I hadn't seen in years at the Denver temple a few weeks ago. She was in the back of the session I was in and I didn't even know she was there until she came up to me in the locker room after the session! It was really fun to reconnect, and through her reconnect with another college roommate I had lost track of.
