About a year and a half ago, Andrea and I were having our weekly Wednesday Hump Day at Diamond Bar and Grill in Glastonbury... wine, apps, and gossip to get us through the rest of the workweek. One night, we were reflecting on how our lives had changed so much since graduating from college. We then realized that the big 3-0 was just around the corner. Andrea and I decided that we were going to embrace the idea of hitting 30 by setting some goals for ourselves before our big birthdays. The plan was to blog about the fun we would embark upon in the next 2 years; we grabbed a napkin from the bar, borrowed a pen from the bartender, and began to scribble down our plans. After a few glasses of wine, you come up with some pretty creative ideas. Well, flash forward 18 months later, and we've probably accomplished a combined 10/30 goals... and we've only got 6-7 months left. While I try to remain optimistic these days, something tells me we won't hit every goal we set for ourselves.
So, tonight, I decided to cross one of our "30 Things" off the list (and counted it towards my "60 Things" as well): scrapbooking. Yes, scrapbooking. Today, I spent a considerable amount of time at Jo-Ann Fabric buying scrapbooking materials. Between middle school, high school, college, and beyond, I've probably taken thousands of pictures. From my neon pink 110mm camera to my 35mm bar cameras to my digital cameras, I've captured an immeasurable number of memories, both good and bad. I have countless photo albums, webshots albums, and facebook albums capturing me in my awkward glasses and bangs days to present day. While I have a few ideas for my first scrapbook album, I don't want to share until the project is completed.
