I love memories

Aren't memories fun?  Don't you love taking trips down memory lane?  I was looking at these pictures my good friends so kindly sent me to remind me of all our laughs together AND to remind me of how truly photogenic I really am!  

Last night I went out to dinner with some family members.  My parents were in town and we gathered to feed our faces at Golden Corral.  I realized last night why I am the way I am.  Genetics.  I'm not sure if an appreciation for the cruder things in life is actually genetic, but after hearing the stories I did last night and sharing the stories I did last night I have come to the knowledge that it is.  I am so grateful I have an excuse and people to blame when I say things that are shocking and inappropriate.  I relish the smiles, the looks of awe and the laughter from those who know me well when things leap from my mouth.

I think this is what life is all about!  Making memories, laughing, building relationships with those we love and will come to love!  It's the people in our lives that give it meaning!
I am grateful for all the wonderful people in my life!  I am more grateful for their forgiveness and love in spite of my "immature" sense of humor (as I learned from my aunt and uncle, the educators). 
Enjoy the pics!  Please, will you still be my friend?

Please promise me that you will never change! I love the pictures. They remind me of getting dressed up to go and give the crazy basketball boys water. Maybe one of these days, I will scan those pic's in and send them to you.

You fit right in, sweetheart and we are happy to have new blood here in the desert. Hope we didn't upset your dad too much. I believe his parting comment as we left Golden Corral was "I want to leave my daughter with these people?" We are glad he did. Love you, Aunt Cheri
