Day 14: Earliest Memory

Hello all! If you're still following along with me, I'm... well I'm surprised. But I'm also thankful! I really appreciate the feedback I've been getting and I hope I'm not boring you all to death with my last few posts. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this, though. So much so that I think I'll keep it up even when my 30 days are over! And hopefully come up with more interesting topics than this challenge is sticking me to :) Anyway...

My earliest childhood memory is one that, frankly, I can't even imagine is a real memory because I was so young. I have the absolute craziest, most vivid dreams on earth and always have, so I usually tend to think that things were just dreams. In this case, it actually happened and I didn't discover that it was a real occurrence until much later in life.

The one and only time I have ever left the continental United States was to go to Hawaii. When I was just shy of one year old. So thanks mom and dad for that. In any case, my family went on a vacation to Hawaii and while there, my hand was slammed in the very large door of a restaurant. I remember every detail of what that door looked like, the panicked look on my Grandma's face and the awful cries coming from my own self. I couldn't talk yet and there was no way to express how I felt. Now you see why I always thought it was a dream! I didn't even think that you could remember things that early, but apparently, my dad claims that he remembers getting his footprints done as a baby. Perhaps it just runs in the family :)

Now I know this wasn't the most exciting post and there's not even pictures! But tonight I plan to introduce you to my favorite of all my vintage dresses, so stick around :)

Beach Photographs & My 30 Day Challenge :)

Hello all! I know it's been ages since I've blogged, and I apologize. I've just been so busy! In the best way possible :) Today I finally got to take a breather and head to the coast with my family. I took some snap shots to share with all!

Also, I was inspired by my friend, Corrine at Almonds & Hugs, to take a 30 day challenge to blog, blog, blog! I'm really excited about this, because I feel that so frequently I feel the urge to blog and I don't even know where to start.



So there you have it... For 30 days I will be a real blogger! Hope to keep you all interested :)

Oregon Coast Trip

Yesterday evening, as my family was decided on our plans for the day, we reminisced on the days when we used to take family trips every Sunday and decided to bring it back... the Sunday drive. We headed to the coast for a break from the heat and it was a positively gorgeous and cool day over there.

It was my first day trip with my new camera and I took hundreds of photos. There were so many amazing photos that I was mulling over the entire drive home. Thinking of what I might do with them - make an album or something. So I get home, start loading pictures, and somehow over HALF OF THEM go missing! It was tragic! There was one particular photo of my dad and I that I positively loved... Gone :( I was planning on splitting all of these photos up into three posts, but since there aren't all that many, I'll just make one HUGE photo post. Enjoy :)
