Picture box

Since I have a month left until the wedding, I've been making sure I complete everything on my to-do list before all of our family and friends start arriving. I know — I'm pretty ambitious.

So today my task was to go through all of the unsorted photos that I'd sworn to glue in a scrapbook five years ago (it's amazing how well I can procrastinate). It turns out lack of enthusiasm for scrappin' is good thing, because I had plenty of old photos to choose from for the rehearsal clam bake fiesta.

As I was going through the photos, I couldn't help but relive those moments captured on film: opening Christmas stockings, a dance recital, my third grade birthday, my Girl Scout Troop, powder puff football, going to college, New Zealand, etc. I found a lot of great memories in that box, and all of my friends and family who have supported me over the years.

Now I'm getting married, and what I'm the most excited about is building new memories with Tyler. I can't wait to sort through my picture box in five years — it'll probably all be on the computer though — and relive all of our accomplishments, silly moments and adventures. We already have a great life together, and I know it will only get better.

I can't wait for the next phase to begin.
