Misty, Water-Colored Memories

I have to admit it. I've got a lot of old pictures. Not only have I inherited all of my mom's pictures of us as kids, but quite a few that were my grandma's as well. And yah, I, myself, have taken plenty to add to the chaos.

I've got boxes of them. The biggest problem is that everytime I sit down to organize and scan them, I get distracted by how fantastic they are. Not fantastic as in Wow, look how great I look or What perfect composition, but more like Oh my God, I remember that! and That was so much fun!

When I was looking for a picture of me bungee jumping, I did just that. I wanted to post this picture then, but needed to double check with Rachel first.


This is a non-photoshopped picture of the two off us about ten minutes after jumping out of the hot air balloon that's in the background. It was a sort of misty morning, which explains the apparent unreality of the balloon.

Rachel wrote on the back of the picture, "Wendy, we were awesome!!!"

I'd like to think that we still are.
