Memory Monday

 

I recently found some old photos that brought back some terrific childhood memories for me.  I spent many many weekends simply playing on this branch.  As crazy as that sounds it is very true!  You see my family went camping up in the north Georgia mountains often.  No electricity, no running water, no modern conveniences, and especially no ipods, tvs, or cell phones ;)  What we had on these weekends were more along the lines of playing in the creeks, fishing, dune buggy riding, finding your own pet rocks, campfires, and of course SPAM (not the email kind-lol).




However the most important thing I still remember about our weekends in the woods was my time spent with my FAMILY


 
 

Those weekends were just an extra extension of the love I received at home.  I realize now that my childhood that was filled with love and family is not something everyone else in the world had.  I know now just how lucky I am, how grateful I am that my parents loved me and were able to show me that love everyday.

 

I want to say thank you to my mom and dad for painting me a happy childhood.  The many memories I have of growing up are filled with happiness and love for my entire family.  I hope and pray that all my children will one day be able to reflect back on their childhood favorably one day as well. 

 

I hope and pray that the time we spend together now is something they will always remember as a happy time. I want them to know how important they are to me, how important family is to have around, and especially how important it is to have God part of your family.   Looking forward to making many many more memories with my family!!
