Since we were in Gilbert, Scotty and I drove to Glendale to visit my friend Diana (Cathcart) Thompson. It was fun to see her and let the kids play.
Here is Diana and her little girl Adalyn
Diana and I have been friends for a long time. My family moved to Willcox in 1991 and that is when I first met Diana. I remember the first couple of times that we saw each other. One was at a mother/daughter homemaking night. The next I remember more clearly. There was a dance for YM/YW. I remember sitting with Diana and her telling me about the boy she had a HUGE crush on (J.A.) and then seeing him for the first time. I remember how nice she was to me when most of the LDS kids our age were not. We didn't become really good friends until High School though. We had some really fun times. Freshman volleyball, "cruising" with Beth in her sweet car at lunch time, working together at Bushman Clinic, hiking with friends, weekend get-togethers, making Christmas cards and goodies for the truckers stuck at the truck stop on Christmas Eve, girl talk, sharing crushes, etc. We both went to EAC and were roommates there for the first year. We had some fun and crazy times. I mean CRAZY!!! I haven't always been a great friend and I'm terrible at keeping in contact with people. Diana has called me and contacted me so many times over the years even when I've been so terrible at calling (sorry!) It was so good to see her and to get to spend a couple of hours visiting with her. I wish I had a scanner so I could scan some pictures of us from the good old days. Thanks Diana for all the years of friendship and for putting up with me!

Yep, Diana's pretty awesome! She was nice to me too, even though I was probably the annoying little sister. I'll never forget her chocolate chip cookies or the time I lived wtih her for a week and then she drove me to Thatcher when I couldn't hack the big city life. You're great!!
Friends are the BEST!
Aw! You are too kind! I am such a nerd! I read your post last night about the UofA game and didn't scroll down. I still need to put my pictures of you on my computer.
We have had a lot of great times together! I had to laugh about "sharing crushes" no names come to mind right away...well maybe one(you will have to email me with a name(s)) but Willcox was so small there was not too much to choose from. No offense to any of the guys our age!
I will see if I can get my scanner to work and see what pictures I can come up with.
You are a great friend! don't put yourself down! I know everyone gets busy, I just like to call people or email instead of organizing or cleaning like everyone else!
You and Suzi have way better memories than I do. I am so forgetful. Maybe that is why I have to keep in touch so you can remind me of every thing we did. Suzi you were not annoying at all!
Me love you long time!!!!!
