Today's topic: three significant memories from my childhood.
Let's fast forward from my birth, October 22, 1988, until I was 6 years old. There are a lot of painful memories in that time period that I don't care to remember, including, sadly, my very first one.
One that I am particularly fond of, however, took place in the house I was living in. My mom was about to leave her second husband, and a plumber had come over to fix the pipe under the sink because it was leaking. I didn't know it at the time, but this man was her boyfriend. I asked her when he left if he was coming back...when she said yes, I said, "he's cute!" haha my mom never lets me live that one down.
Another one I am fond of is meeting my first best friend, Eryn. We were in first grade, I was new to the area, and she was incredibly nice to me. We clicked right away. We were close all through the years, even past high school. We are states away now, but keep in touch through facebook. I love technology for being able to keep us (and of course my other friends) in touch.
Lastly, all the times that my step dad and I would be outside all day taking care of the animals, building things, and listening to baseball on the radio. He'd tell me stories of what it was like growing up how and when he did, and what it was like serving in 'Nam...it was so cool to hear stories like that.
Stay tuned for the next topic: If you could have one superpower, what would it be and what would you do with it first?
