Memory Bank

        It's amazing to me how quickly a child's life can pass you by. When you first become a mother people are constantly telling you to savor each moment because they're bound to zip right past you before you realize it. I sit back now and realize that 3 and a half years have passed since I gave birth to my daughter. That in itself is amazing. I have been given this truly remarkable gift, a gift that I never have appreciated more than I do now. Today I want to start this "memory bank" and begin capturing the short years of Angelyn's childhood. I want to remember the most precious of life's moments with her and Matt and be able to go back and recall our thoughts, obtain deatils that I otherwise would have forgotten, and most of all be able to see on paper how happy our life has been. I want to look back 20 years from now and laugh about date nights that we had in our 20's. I want to watch my baby grow, not just in pictures, but in memories and stories. I want to capture it all, here.
