Friday Spotlight! (the glorious return)

Today's Friday Spotlight is

HEIDI RAE ALLEN

Heidi is one of my favorite people, and my memories with her are some of my best. In high school she drove a beat up hatch back by the name of "Cliff" (anyone remember why we called it that?); we clocked a lot of hours in that car. She would blast the radio until the sound came out scratchy, rumble up to the front of the school and, to our humiliation, make Malia and I get out in front of all the "Senior Hotts". Heidi knows how to do everything that I can't. She's an amazing cook, a talented seamstress, and more recently, a wonderful wife and mother. And if you're ever stranded on a California highway with a blown-out tire, and five girls standing there dumbly; Heidi will not blink an eye, take action, and change it for you.

Erica- You are so sweet, we do have some great memories together. We called it Cliff because on the back window there was a sticker that said "Clifford alarm systems" and ironically the alarm was a piece! Remember it used to just go off randomly while we where driving.

lol lol I forgot about that. I had some near death experiences in that car.
"Britton is driving through the field!"
"Heidi NO! Don't follow him!"
*life flashing before my eyes as Heidi jumps the curb and drives down grassy hill into reservoir.

Heidi I LOVE the pictures, you really do have such a cute family! Too many hilarious memories together, all of which included chasing after boys that were much out of league and never giving up until the last "Senior Hott" got asked to PROM. Then there was always that chance that they'd kiss us at Sunsplash, lol.

lol lol. Remember how we literally would look out our windows at any odd sound, thinking Tyson was asking us to Prom. Meanwhile, he didn't know our last names.
