One of the first things I do every morning is check my phone for “Today’s Memories”.
Every morning, my Facebook account sends me a little notifications that says something like “You have memories for today.” I click on that button and then my phone will pull up “memories” which includes photos and Facebook updates for that particular day for the past 7-8 years.
I love looking back on what happened that day, where we were living and what we were doing.
I’m a sucker for memories and history, even my own history…
My history/memories include growing up in a semi small city in Virginia with my parents and my brother, normal school actives, spending time with friends, high school and some college, meeting a shy guy that was in the NAVY, marrying him a few months later, becoming a military wife, moving to a military base in NC, starting a blog, becoming a veteran’s wife, turning that blog into a business, moving back to that small little city in VA and making plans to move back to the coast.
Well of course there is way more too it all but that’s my history in a nut shell.
Throughout these years I’ve called many places “Home”. My first few moves were tough but I’m starting to feel more at peace now when we move because I know that a house doesn’t make a home, it’s the people or person you share it with.
One of my favorite places that we called home was a little house right outside of the military base.
Some of our favorite memories are from that house and I love it when I’m reminded of them!
One memory stood out the other morning as I was scrolling through my memories. This is the status update that popped up:
