Flashback-1986

This was a very important year for our family. It was the year that we packed up our things and moved to the mainland. Staying our first month in Cabins in Parley's Canyon, and then in an apartment complex in Provo for the summer, and finally moving into our home in Orem, where my parents still reside.

Living in an apartment complex in Provo had it's advantages and disadvantages. I mean spending a whole summer playing in the pool was AWESOME! Having the whole complex, with College kids and all, sing Happy Birthday to me, and me running away into the pool house from embarrassment...guess I didn't know how to handle all the attention...lol.

On the flip side imagine a small 3 bedroom 1 bath apartment with 10 people living there. Yeah, it was a bit crammed...but it was a summer never to be forgotten.

As we hung out in the pool area all day, everyday, we'd blast the stereo system. These are some of the songs I remember the most that summer in Provo.






There are sooo many other video's I could put on here that will always take me back to this year, like Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach", "Glory of Love" From Karate Kid 2, and many others, but didn't want to overwhelm you. :)

Oh-em-gee! Seriously, the memories...
I remember hearing "crush on you" all the time while we were in the pool at the apartments. Such good times!
