it doesn't get better than this....

but it did.

I love that brad paisley song! There have been so many moments where I think that life can't get any better, but then the next great moment happens and it does get better.
Memories are very important to me. I love looking back at pictures, reading my journals and talking to my family about "remember when...."
Many of you who know my family have heard our family motto:
Someone starts by saying
What are we doing??
and then we all say at the same time
MAKING A MEMORY!
This was said at pretty much every family vacation or family event. One moment that just came to mind was when I was maybe 14 or 15. My parents heard there was going to be a meteor shower, so in the middle of the night they woke us all up, gathered tons of blankets and we went and cuddled on the trampoline. We waited for the meteor shower to start, and we waited. And waited. No meteor shower. I remember my mom saying there's one, but it never was. We all kept saying can't we go back inside and then my mom asked us "Guys what are we doing?" and we all started laughing and said "Making a Memory!"
I loved my childhood!I cherish all the GREAT memories from back then!! Now that I have my own family, Brian and I will make sure our boys can say the same thing about their childhood!
