Whispering, "woo hoo" in the middle of Trev and my wedding ceremony not realizing EVERYONE could hear, but just being that exited to get to keep him forever!
Driving to Gisela in Eda's car to go cliff jumping, the AC worked better the faster you drove, it was a really hot ride.

Great post Annie! Cute memories, sweet memories, funny memories. Those were great. :)
You have the sweetest blog ever I love stopping over here its like having you with me! I miss you!
Sounds like you had an awesome child hood. My favorite was the one about you saying woo hoo in the middle of you wedding. That is so you. I love it!
That was so cute to read. At least the nova is a cool car and you didn't have to drive a low rider toyota grandpa truck. Whew that thing was ugly!! I also liked the pictures you put up, I can totally see your boys in you.
How bout swimming in the canal because we were hot from running track practice. Running through your glass door at the house on 2nd street.:) hahah. Love the pics.
I remember dropping by your house and scarying you kids on Halloween for years even when you knew it was me. I remember the clown that stole your candy. I remember taking you to the river and having to call your parents and tell them that David caught a ride back in the helicopter. I remember pickles on Sam's club days.
You have some really sweet memories and funny ones. Thanks for sharing. Cant we just have Roseannes back???? I miss getting a HUGE cup of 6 different flavors. That was the best.
