Reminiscing on Memories...

I have a confession. I have a box.

Not just any box, but a "memory box"

In this memory box, I like to put things that have at some point in my life meant something to me.

Well, I was looking through my box (actually, I have more than one) and was surprised at how much actual stuff I had in there.

Corsage and Fancy straw from Prom

Lifeguard whistles from Seven Peaks

My Alphabet Book from Kindergarten when I was learning to write

Rubber bands from when I had braces

Script to our 5th grade performance of "A Christmas Carol"

Memorial Day Performance Poppies

Almost every program from every Band concert at Timpview

Graduation Programs from 6th and 12th grade

My First Personal Progress book

Pamphlets, tickets and letters from PHP II

Itinerary's from Band Tours...

EVERY single copy of the Thunderbolt from the years I was at Timpview

Tickets from many movie outings, one of which from my first date

And MANY Other things 

What I learned from all these things in my box is that the things that you do, make you what you are. 

For me, I'm a Music playing-lifeguarding-newspaper reading- band trip goer-brace face- graduate AND I'm a Mormon :)

So, make your memories while you're young so you have crazy stories to tell your kids and theirs in the future when you're old and wrinkly.
