I had to find it!!!
Now, look a little closer...
I have been with my husband for 16 years, and I love how he tells the same stories over and over. Occasionally (or should I say rarely) he tells a story that I have never heard. Usually, though, it's the same stories. Like the time that his family got a cat. This cat apparently had some emotional issues, and his mom told them that they had to get rid of it. So, she piled her kids in the car, drove down to the pet store...here's the funny part...my husband got out of the car with the cat, opened the door to the pet store, tossed (gently) the cat inside, ran back to the car, and they took off!
Some of my favorite memories are like little sniplets of time in my mind: watching a volcano explosion on my honeymoon in Costa Rica, having lunch dates with Lauren before Lexie was born, and snuggling on the couch with Lexie when she was 3 watching her favorite show, Lazy Town. Lexie talks about those snuggle times often. I think they are her favorite memories also.
For me, memorymaking is about family, friends and love. We don't always set out to make a memory. They often happen when we least expect it. They become etched in my mind and on my heart. I feel warm and fuzzy when I talk about these times in our life.
Memories make a life...good, bad, or indifferent. Everyday we have an opportunity to create a story that makes up our life. My goal is to create a long list of memories for those that I love...that write a story of a life full of love and lived to the fullest. I hope that I instill these feelings in my children too.
Live a life full of memories...
Get on that roller coaster...even if you are scared to death!!!
What is your favorite memory?
