Nostalgia

     I have been feeling very nostalgic lately. Normally this happens around the holidays. I begin to think of Thanksgivings and Christmas's of when I was young. Something many people don't know about me is that I have the worst memory on the face of the earth. My parents will agree on that one. They will say "oh remember when we went to (insert destination here)" and I just look at them and make them tell me about it in hopes I will remember. I think that is one of the reasons that I love taking and looking at pictures so much. The memories that I am reminded of just from seeing an outfit, toy, or scenery. With all of the college talk, many days I want to crawl into my bed with my stuffed lamb I've had forever and make my dad read to me just like he did oh so many nights of my adolescence. However, I stumbled upon a bunch of pictures that made me a little teary eyed. They reminded me that I shouldn't try and rush through life because in a flash I am almost 18 and have so many hard decisions to make. I never really grasped the whole "don't blink or you'll be my age" until now. I know there will be many more moments to come and people will still say that to me. So, I'm going to share some of my memories with everyone today.
Thanks for reading!!!
