Youth....Memories

So, in my ravaged state of what many call 'nesting' I have come across some GREAT, yet seemingly ancient pictures of my youth.  Top left, I was all of 20 years old and thought I knew it all!! 

While the pictures make me sad that I have tragically lost the appearance of my youth, I am alternatively grateful for the wisdom and experiences the last twenty years have brought me.  I really do feel like I will be a better mother, that I have been able to enjoy a loving relationship with my husband, and that I really am 'wiser' to the ways of the world.  Damn, if I would have only listened to my parents when I was a kid right :)  I'm sure I'll be preaching THAT to my own son in the years to come. 

The bottom left picture, I was all of 17, with my "Aunt" Kelli, who is only a few years older than I.  She should have been my sister!  Did we ever have some FUN times during summers and summer-time Mexico trips.  Experiences I will never forget!  Love ya Kel!

P.S.  AND....why didn't someone tell me I was NOT fat, when I thought I was!  I'd kill to look like that again!

Boy, this country living is a whole new thing .    My Grandp...
