ADVENTURES IN UTAH

Relationships are the most important things in life. Family, friends, lovers, and even haters are the substance of existance. They form the foundation of a life on which we hang all the incidentals. Working,playing , eating, exercising, driving, dancing, watching TV,browsing My Space, and making love are either means or excuses for being together. Is there anything more comforting then knowing that you are not alone?

That's why its so important tokeep trackof each other as we frequently changelocations, phone numbers, e-mails,modes of transportation ,careers, marital status, personalities, interests, and even sexual orientation.
Nowis the time to make relationships a priority. So if your an old friend, please say Hi. If your a friend of a friend, please say Hi. If your a soon-to-befriend, please say Hi.
