Today would have been your 51st birthday. I miss you more and more every day. You would think that things would get easier, but they don't. They only seem to get harder.

Here are just a few of the many great memories I will always carry with me.

Dad, Chris and I on Chris's first day of school.

The whole family at Christmas time at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

The whole family at the St. Croix County fair.
This was always one of our favorite times of the year.

Dad on his Harley. One of his favorite hobbies.

Dad and I at my high school graduation.
He was always so proud of us kids.

Chris and Dad on a family trip.

So I am now all done with school for the quarter so I decided to get on my computer and clean up my pictures and organize them. Then I started going down memory lane...

Josh, Jewells and I in the airport waiting to get on a plane to Seattle.

Vegas Baby!! This was only like 2 years ago and we all look so young!

Phil and I on New Years Eve about 2 years ago.

Jewells bachelorette party!

This was years ago!

My 21st birthday, celebrating with Josh, Lynsie, and Phil at Dicks Bar. I was drunk. Josh, Lynsie and Phil were the only ones who were able to go out with me on my 21st because they were the only ones who were 21!

A goofy monday with my crew.

Phil and I for Halloween in 2005, I think.

Jewell's reception after her wedding.

The crew at the cabin in 2009.

Rachel's wedding.

Good Neighbor Days!

My Monday crew again! I love these people.

Chicago a few years ago. We were under the bean.

Girls night 2009!

My stud muffin!

The love of my life! This was at the cabin in 2008. He is so cute!

Seattle.

I just love this picture. This was at Rachel's wedding reception a few years ago.

Some of these pictures are the oldest ones I have because my computer crashed a few years ago and I lost all my old pictures. :( Wish I could have gone through those too!

Memories... on the corner of my mind.

I always told myself that I would start a journal so I could record what is going on in my life and I never have. I think I started one a couple times but ended up only writing in it once or twice. It didn’t dawn on me until now that my blog is my journal. Duh… all I talk about is what is going on in my life and that is exactly what a journal is. Except this is even better because I can add pictures too. It is nice to have something to look back on from time to time. I can look back a year from now and see what I was up to. When I was helping my friend clean and organize she found a whole bunch of stuff in her “memories” box and started reminiscing. I don’t think I even have a memory box. I threw out all of my old letters and cards people gave me. Now I regret that. I do however have all of my old photos. From time to time I like to go through my pictures and laugh at how stupid I used to look or who I used be friends with or who I used to date. I kind off got off track here… what I’m saying is that it is nice to have something to look back to. I’m sure a few years from now I will crack up with some of the dilemmas, complaints or stories about my weekends I have written. I guess I better try to stay on top of my blog more than I do then… Anybody have any good ideas for a blog? My life is pretty boring right now so I can't really talk about my day to day life everytime I blog because you would all be bored as hell.. I would have stuff to write about if I got engaged but that hasn't happend yet. I could also write about purchasing my first house but that hasn't happened yet. So, all I have to blog about as of right now is my weekends because that is the only time I seem to have a life. Give me ideas and I will write more!!
