Ah, the memories

About a month ago, my computer got a virus.  About a week ago, I thought I had lost everything on my computer.  Every picture, every video.  I began searching my computer calmly, and then not so calmly, until, in tears, I accepted the fate of all the precious memories I had lost.  I was sick about it. 

But, there’s a happy ending to the story.  My amazing brother saved the day, and managed to restore everything that the dang virus had hidden from me.  Hallelujah.

I spent most of that evening looking through my gold mine of memories.

Obviously it’s impossible to forget these days, but I can’t imagine having lost the pictures

This, on the other hand, I wouldn’t mind forgetting.  Yikes!

My sweet little Jaxon.  Life was so quiet and simple back then.  He was such a good baby, and I could stare into those eyes forever.107_0773111_1107

Did you know I ran a half marathon?  I have the pictures to prove it! Smile

Rexburg, Hyde Park apartments during a rainstorm.  I love this picture, what fun dad!

And what about all the different hairstyles?  I’ve been through a lot!  Plus, all these pictures have such fun memories associated with them.  The sisters at Dad 60th birthday (I think). Heidi and I dressed the same of Valentines day, Jake and I newlywed and childless, ah those were the days!

Just a few more….this is too much fun.

There are few things I love more than watching my little 1 year old eat cake!!  I feel like Sage and Hazel look identical in these pictures.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget how much Sage cried as a baby.  That girl was just unhappy for 12 months straight, I swear.  Okay, it wasn’t that bad.

My life is so blessed, and I am grateful to have all these wonderful memories to look back on and remember.  Now I’m off to go make some more!!

I thought erased the pictures of Kimball at the hospital. It wasn't ALL my pictures but I still perfectly remember the pit in my stomach and the sobs over the phone to Spencer and him freeking out because all he could understand was, "Kimball." He saved the day. Hooray for computer people who can save the day!!!
