That’s how I feel about the blog I started in 2002. Good times.

zomg Blondini! ;p
Cute photos of you guys.

I have some journals, paper and online… I know that I cannot imagine your pain, but even I have had moments of looking at old photos, and thinking, Ah, we were so young and carefree and joyous… I guess most people have feelings along those lines.

I’m so glad that you’re keeping your journal for Annabel.

I’m late adding comments to this post but was also going to suggest either making a book on blurb.com or adding the entries here. It’s hard sometimes to make sense of your before and after lives. As a military family we move a lot, and I feel like the people I know now have no idea who I was in my former incarnations. I wish I had a diary of the early years of my marriage and our time living overseas for our daughter to look back on someday.

I have kept a diary since I was young, but it has been my adult diary (and now blog) that has helped me look back and reflect on the good and bad times.
So glad you are planning on keeping a copy for Annie to read one day!

Oh how fun – ! Love the documentation of the memories. And I’m sure Annie (and any future siblings) will as well. What I would GIVE to hear / read about my Mom’s life in her 20s…!

Awww, I wish I had access of the, “old you’s” journal entries. Even though the “present you” is just fine. ;o) I am glad though that you’ll be keeping the journal for Annabel to read. That’s awesome. I think subconsciously a lot of women think about their future daughters as they write in their diaries/online blogs. Because it’s something to give to your daughter so she can find you relatable in those times where your relationship is not so great (although I highly doubt you and Annabel will have that problem).

You wrote: “Being able to type out my life was so much easier than writing it by hand.” You’re so right about that. I keep a Xanga account (have since 2004) and I’ve kept it longer than any diary I’ve ever had. I’ve kept a diary for about a couple of days (and that was it). It was never a constant. I guess there’s just something easier about typing it out. I don’t know why but that’s just the way it is for a lot of us.

You look good as a blonde!

It’s always strange to go back and read the older posts isn’t it?
