This week has been a long one. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a little like I want to be a kid again. I want to play all day and go home and ask my mom whats for dinner instead of going home trying to make dinner. I guess I've been thinking about past times with family and friends and really being reminded of life and the joys that I had.
I get these thoughts, random shadows of memories.. today I remembered that I had my hair cut short when I was a Junior in highschool because I wanted to donate it to locks of love, and I haven't really had it long until now. It's getting passed my shoulders and that's a biggie for me.
I remembered that Anne and I stayed at Kirsten's house in Bozeman one summer, before we met Saba and Emily, and we didn't really know anyone. We met this one girl, she was naughty. Anne and I played with her for about a week, I remember we hid another girls shoe up in the house rafters, and the little girl's dad came out looking for it. I remember sticking around so I could tell him where we hid it because I wasn't able to stick up for the girl when we stole the shoe in the first place. (Hazy memory... do you remember that Anne?)
I think about highschool memories and wonder where life has gone. What is happening with the time we are given? I know it doesn't seem like much to you, but I've been married for 9 months tomorrow. Kirsten, over 10 years! Becca, over 7 right? Even Anne, you've been married for 2 years right? I just can't believe how time flies, how I want it to slow down because at times I enjoy it too much, and even when I don't enjoy it, I just want to to stop so I can rest and take a few breaths.
I love all of you, I love looking at your blogs and wondering how your lives are going. I think about everyone often... I have dreams about you, (my family) my mind continues to think of Ben and Nathaniel, because I don't hear much of them. Hope your all doing well.

amen sistah. Its all whirling way too fast for me too. And yes, over seven. It will be nine years this December...and at least 3 of them have been complete bliss. Being married wasn't easy for Ryan and I at first but even the hardest points, I still look at him as my knight in shining armor. I love him so much.
I just wish we all could live close to each other. I love our brothers so much but us sisters...you know what I mean.
I miss you too!!! And I remember Saba and Emily, but I didn't remember the fling like friendship with the naughty girl..? I am glad you hung around to tell her dad what happened.
We have been married more than 12 years now! And we've been really blessed, we have our grumps with each other some times, but mostly, we have had everyone of those years be great ones.
I am thinking about all the remembering you are doing and I know time seems fast for us all, but I am always grateful for the memories we are allowed to bring along with us and share with each other, thanks for sharing some of yours.
And, I miss Thaniel and Ben too. It's never enough time together is it?
Wait till you have grandkids and all you think is, did I raise my kids good enough, can't I go back and fix a few things that I goofed up on. I keep telling myself, look forward, you can't do anything about the past so walk forward. But there are times that it is really hard.
