As we were driving in the car to Hermiston, I asked Mitch...
"Mitch, if there was one person you could find out what happened to them and where they are right now, who would you pick?"
"Huh?"
"Mitch, if there....(nan repeating question)
"uh, lemmie think. Who would you pick?"
"I would pick Mark Mintzer"
"who is that?"
Remember those days in elementary school when you had one boy who chased you on the play ground? That's my Mark. He was really a sweet boy, and when he wasn't chasing me, he was teaching me how to blitz in a game of touch football, or holding my spot in line for the swing sets. He wasn't the most popular, and not a nerd. Just Mark. I wonder if he finished school, got a good job, and has a good family. Wouldn't it be nice if all of our friendships and relationships were that easy.
I wonder if anyone wonders about me. What would I tell them? Wait, I know...I'm a happy mom, who loves her family and life.
I know this is kinda weird question, but a good one for the drive to Hermiston, passin' time:
Who do you wonder about?

I dunno know, yet. I will think on it and get back to ya Nan Bread. I do know that I LOVE LOVE your PICTURE SHOW. I love how the titles and shaky, scratchy picture looks like an old home movie like I watched when I was a kid. You are so clever! I think I will ask Leon this question. I KNOW he will have an answer.
OK I am back and I know who it is. It is Elder Little who baptized me. I am sure he thought it was wasted water and I would love to know how his life turned out. He was a big red headed football player from Idaho or Utah, I think Utah. He was the same age as me at the time I was baptised which was 19. I have been told the Church could hook me up with his info, but with confidentiality that doesn't ring true to me. Anybody know Elder Little? I don't know his first name. I wonder if it says it on my baptism certificate?
Nan,
How do you think of stuff like this? Hmm..I wonder about alot of people I went to school with. I'm just looking forward to my 10 year reunion so I can show off my hot husband and cute kid. I would like to see where Kylee, Leah, Val and Lacey are though. Once again, good post.
I wonder about Robin Bradley. She was my best friend in elementary school and the first year and a half of middle school in Colorado. I moved away half way through 7th grade. We kept in touch for a year or so, but as it goes, life moves on and we lost touch. I wonder about her all of the time.
Good question Nan. I love how your mind works.
I have wondered for the past 8 years what has become of the guy that I Dear Johned for Mike. I shared 1 1/2 years of my life with him and would just like to know what he chose for an occupation, where he lives, how many kids he has, etc.
Oh this hits home to me Nan. I wonder about people here in my ward all the time. I think about them and wonder what I can do to be a better friend. I think about my high school friends and wonder where they are and if they are as happy as me! My mind is always thinking about someone or something! YES, I would love it if if all friendships were as simple as they were in grade school! I long for those days! Good Post!
i moved to kennewick from az. when i was 11. because i have never been back since, my childhood seems like it's not my own. i had some great friends there that i sometimes wonder what's become of their lives. my best friend there remained a faithful pen pal about 8 years after the move. i guess i need to do a little detective work. i believe there is a tinge of regret/sadness that is stirred up when you think of a lost friend. your post reminds me of the saying...make new friends but keep the old. now tell mitch to research the author of that saying!!
ps. your slide is so cool...i can't decide if it should be accompanied by the wonder years music or something from the blair witch project! love it tho. (glad our cameras aren't like that anymore, starts messing with my eyes and makes me jumpy!)
What a thought provocing question! There are so many things that I wonder about. One of the things I wonder about sometimes is what ever happened to my boyfriend from high school. If he is happy about how his life turned out and all of those kinds of things. I also wonder about a friend I made at Ricks named Amy she was my neighbor and we had so much fun, but lost touch after school. My list could go on and on. My mind is always wondering........
Excellent question Nan. I wonder about tons of people, especially old boyfriends. But if I had to pick one person, it would be my foster sister. We had a foster sister when I was little, and it was the closest I ever got to having a sister (I even had to share a room with her), now, I have 4 sisters-in-law, who are awesome sisters! Lucky me!
I just wonder if she ever straightened her life out, is happy, and if she ever wonders about our family.
Nan, I forgot to say how much I love your slide show! It is by far the coolest one I've ever seen and it totally fits your style. LOVE IT!
Sometimes I think about the guy I almost married (I was telling you about this the other night), not becuase I wonder about what "could have been" I definately made the right choice, but just because I know I hurt him so much and I hope his life is ok and that he is happy. He was a good guy and it would be great to know that he found someone nice and had a good family. He needed a happy ending.
Nan, I wonder about that guy I cut off on the highway last week. I wonder if he got out of that ditch alright.
I wonder about your husband, Nan. Where does he come up with that stuff? Soo funny!
Mitch, that was hilarious. Nan, this post was awesome. I think about certain people from my past all the time, like, for example, the foreign exchange student we had for a month my senior year that turned psycho on us and we kicked out. She was from Germany, her name was Melanie. I wonder what happened to her, and if she ever cut her hair.
