Pork or Beef...

I guess I didn't like this Fire Drill...

Still unpacking my stuff, I came across more journals that I did when I was a kid. This one made me laugh a lot. I vaguely remember this event but I guess it was important enough for me to write it. It's fitting that the notebook memo that I wrote it in has a picture of a cat on it. This cat looks like my cat Steak-y!

Europe 2001

Back during the summer of 2001, Jennifer and I decided to backpack through Europe. Long story short, we had to tell our parents that we were on a "study abroad trip", had Shuttle Express pick us up so that they won't question why there were no other students at SeaTac, and crossed our fingers that we will get to Europe safely and have a friend of Jennifer's pick us up in Munich. Overall, we visited most of Western Europe, only spent under $3,000 each including airfare and did something which we have been wanting to do since we were kids, I think we pinky swore it.

It was a whole different story when we got back though, our parents found out we were not on the "study abroad trip" and were very upset saying they were just about to call the FBI. In the end, my dad who has not spoken this whole time finally said in a fatherly way "you guys smell like homeless".

I found some drawings that I did during the trip and I really drew pretty well back then!

Nothing like a good talking with a Best Friend

I want to rewrite this blog and be more active. My husband and I just moved to a new house and I found more letters and journals that I wrote back when I was a kid. Boy was I detail oriented. Reading some of these were very interesting and made me realize that I was like the way I am even as a child, just now I have better grammar and more interesting things to write than what I ate for breakfast. I will post those later.

I had my best friend Jennifer stop by today and she helped me unpack some of my things. She pulled all of my turtle necks and anything that dated me to the 90's. Me: 'But I lived in the 90's." Jennifer: "That does not mean you have to look like it." Okay she is right. I do need to get rid of these...there were some other clothes but they are too embarrassing to present to the world if I want to be in the 2011's. :)

Afterwards, we talked about what we wanted to do....with our life! What do we do with our lives? Yikes! I don't know. Well we both agreed that we need to do some soul searching. Will get back to you on this..let me book this in Outlook calendar for next Friday at lunch...j/k

Here are the turtle necks below, yes I was wearing them up until now and yes I had 4 different colors, here is a picture with flash and without. I think I need to buy new clothes, ASAP!

Super Friend!

I finally got a new scanner so my letters and old pictures can be uploaded. This was when I went to Jennifer's house for the first time. We were both in 3rd grade. Jennifer's letter is hilarious. We read them together a couple of weeks ago and it was just crazy how we are sometimes.....the same as we are now.

Okay to be fair, here is one of my drawings

Here is one of my drawings back in the day. I was really into the Little House on the Prarie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and loooooooved to read stories about those times. Thus my drawings are of pioneers. Weird huh?

A drawing from Jennifer

Here is a drawing that I found that Jennifer gave me. I think it was to make sure that I was her best friend forever :-).
