how to be a great friend

Jamie Karren Blaisdell
J- Joy to be around
A- Always there for you
M- Many talents
I- Inventive
E- Everyones friend

I am consistently impressed with her. The list could go on forever, but some of the things I love about her:
- She will drop whatever she is doing to help you
- She has an intuition to call/ stop by/ leave a card when you need a friend the most
- She has a way of making you feel like your important
- I can always expect to laugh a lot when I'm with her
- I am amazed at how she comes up with the cutest crafts or home decorating ideas.
- She is incredibly talented, she can do ANYTHING
- I know I can bring anyone along with me when I'm hanging out with Jamie because she goes out of her way to make them feel comfortable
- She is always thinking of others
- She is a great Mom
- I would never describe her as flaky, she is very dependable
- Just by being with her makes me want to be a better/kinder person

I really could go on about her, she really is a great person and I'm so lucky to have a friend like her!

where everyone knows your name

I've always felt a sense of pride being from Lindon. When I was in my teens and people would ask where I was from and I would say Lindon, they would reply "Oh, Pleasant Grove" I would correct them "Lindon". Today was Lindon Days and it was reaffirmed to me why I love it.

Reasons being:
- The parade consisted mostly of ward and stake entries and had more people in the parade than watching.
- I recognized and know both the mayor and the grand marshals of the parade.
- Its a town where everyone knows everyone, at least if your family lived in Lindon back when there was only one stake.
- If I ever go on a run anywhere in the city, a few days later my Mom tells me that so-and-so saw me running the other day.
- Most of the main city does not have sidewalks we have horse trails.
- We now have the most rockin pool in the county.
- If I ever go to Allen's Grocery Store it is a guarantee that I will run into an old ward member.

Lindon recently got put into the top 100 of America's best small towns so now the secret is out!




There was free face painting for kids.





There was also a cute Home Depot booth where kids could build bird houses, helicopters, tool boxes, etc which was also free.
