The Little Things I Miss.....

Mom’s cooking/Family dinner every night

Summer time free from school/work (should have been a teacher…)

Recess

Good cartoons like the Smurfs & TV shows like Fraggle Rock (!) and the TGIF line-up

Wanting to grow up

Swinging on the monkey bars without being able to touch the ground

Playing outside ‘til dark with my best friend down the street

Sneaking out

Pool Parties (no one has them anymore!)

Show Choir and School Musicals (I know I’m a nerd!)

Feeling invincible because I could ride my bike without needing the handlebars

Church van road trips!

The glorious imaginary games I used to come up with & could never think of now

Lipsmacker’s Strawberry Lipgloss (it really was the best!)

Real toys in the cereal box

Friday night football games with my AHS friends

Spontaneous movie marathons

Dance class (all that jazz!)

Church plays and Sunday morning skits

Staying up ‘til 4 a.m. and waking up at 8 a.m. feeling well-rested

First crush and first kisses and those things that always made me so nervous because I didn't know anything about how to act...awkward but awesome at the same time....

Spaghetti Sundays with the entire Cook family

Weekday afternoon naps

The hardest decision to make was what flavor Popsicle I would eat after dinner

I think most of all I miss not comprehending responsibility and it being okay...now it's all about responsibilities.

Oh to be young....good times....good times......
