(Listen to this song as you go. I love it.)
....The time Emma and I were bomb at state solo/ensemble
And then got to see Mozart's Requiem at Abravanel Hall
The time we sat around this candle:
Because this was happening outside:
The time I took this pic of Evie for my photography class....
And my teacher told me I had no future as a photographer. :)
The time we hopped waves in the ocean:
The time we went to World of Color at Disneyland:
The time I went to Prom with a nice boy:
The time we got stuck on a roller coaster:
The time, every single birthday I ever had, we had this cake that I invented:
The time this sunset happened:
The time I won a costume contest at the Harry Potter 7 showing:
The time my dad rode down this:
The time Becky did... this:
:) love you!
The time I did a science project with Vaseline on plates...
And made it to regionals because a bunch of 16 year olds thought it sounded smart.
The time when this was our Oregon hotel on the Hood river:
And 15 feet away was this:
The time Emma and I made these faces:
And broke the camera...
The time I took a picture of Charly on an awkward date:
The time Evie and Megan climbed all the way to the top:
(Kind of...)
The time I went scuba diving and looked like half of the Captain America's Star Trek Adventure Dream Team:
The time I stuck out my tongue in outer space...
And didn't die of oxygen deprivation.
The time Megan woke up:
The time we watched varied sunsets over this horizon 7 nights in a row.
The time I took a picture of Charly on an awkward date:
The time Evie and Megan climbed all the way to the top:
(Kind of...)
The time I went scuba diving and looked like half of the Captain America's Star Trek Adventure Dream Team:
The time I stuck out my tongue in outer space...
And didn't die of oxygen deprivation.
The time Megan woke up:
The time we watched varied sunsets over this horizon 7 nights in a row.
The time this awkward photo happened...
Especially the cup in the crotch. Beautiful.
The time I made a new, hilarious friend:
The time we made a German friend, and froze our butts off:
The time Megan graduated high school:
And Grandpa looked dapper, and I looked like a cooked crackhead:
The time we hiked Bryce Canyon:
And got tired.
The time I got a Barbie....
For my 17 birthday... :)
And for my 18, this mega cookie from my french-speaking neighbor. Since she knew I spoke a little:
:)
The time a weirdo took a freak picture on my camera:
The time we dog piled on the trampoline:
The time Emma hugged a tree:
The time our mountain was burning:
And then was burned:
Which peer-pressured his mountain friend across the lake to burn too:
The time we played at the park:
And defied gravity:
The time I taught my piece in dance company:
The time when mom got tipsy on the teacup ride:
Probs the best photo ever.
The time where I still hate Easter:
The time I went hiking with Matika all summer long:
The time we went to the science museum:
The time it was Evie's birthday. And Will was shy :)
The time I was obsessed with playing the piano:
The time we jumped:
The time my other prom date showed up in...armor?
The times we hung out in dance company:
The time Emma took this picture:
The time Malia got married:
And we decorated the "trees".
The times the lake looked like this:
Or this:
The time, right now. When every morning I wake up dreaming of this place:
But realize I'm here instead:
Which is why I needed to do this lengthy, waste of your time post. Because I have been so wrapped up in my future, and the dismal comparison of where I want to be, versus how far I still have to go...
That I sort of forgot all of the amazing things and places I already have seen, and all the amazing people I know right know.
And just how right now, I miss those days; 3 years ago on that snowy night, or just one year ago hanging in that dance studio...I will miss these days; of biking to school, working at a pizza place, and being on my own.
