Fun memories I love,,,and the crazy things I'll miss...

Eating dinner with the family like every night, and for whatever reason I started thinking about the funniest memories of my childhood.

Like driving to New York and my older brother getting car sick and tossing his blueberry muffin into mom's mickey d's cup in the back seat, or twirling around a pole at the older bro's band practice and knocking heads with an equal bored child who is now my best friend of eleven years. (Doesn't that make you feel old??) Mom's strange habit of calling you by every name in the family but your own, or in one of my brother's cases names that even in the family....like David..or Donald...or Rufus...Don't ask about that one folks, Or the time mom decided to fling her sugar free bread pudding all over the kitchen and hitting our picture of the Last Supper...which still has a white spot where we had to wipe it off. Ya know those fun little memories that make you smile.

Mom taking us to early morning church on mondays, then getting us some hash browns and apple juice every monday morning before bro's band practice. Burning my hand pulling a cast iron skillet from the fire pit. (I managed to save the bacon before screaming in pain) Walking arm and arm with my "sister" down a gravel drive way singing "Sister Sister" at the top of lungs, while her family looked at us like we were pyscos. Dressing up in costumes of different saints every year, and trying to guess who was who, while you picked the most impossible guessed saint you could think of. Friday co-ops and getting bit by a shrew, (I'm not very good with animals) Endless games of "It's the cows" and ring around the rose for the baby sister. The Lord of The Rings parties, and the time the whole gang was out in the front lawn decked out with wooden swords and capes and some one shouting "Happy Halloween!" Sleep over that we stayed up practically all night after our first barn dance. Watching Ever After and drinking so much cream soda out of wine glasses, and eating junk that we were slap happy, and burst out in giggles at the saddest part of the movie.
Me trying to learn to knit...and crochet....and sew for the most part....yea I'm so hopeless in the useful things like that. The time I actually burned a salad, or I asked my brother how to spell how.

Those good ole days that created fun memories and stories I'll tell the next generation, but it got me to thinking about all the things I'll miss when I go to college, some of them are kinda crazy.

I know I'm going to miss our noisy dinners, won't be as fun eating, the jokes, and the laughs. Sitting on the couch and watching hours of bugs bunny and Tom and Jerry. Going shopping with Mom and talking about anything and everything. Bro and I planning our total victory on Ninja Warrior and imagine every one's face with a girl beats them all....Haha those crazy little things you normally don't think about.

Heading to college made me realize, all my friends, and myself, we've grown up. We started college, beginning college, and even FINISHING college. We don't get together as often as we used to, the old games we used to play a thing of the past, but I still smile on those old memories, and look forward to the future and all the thins left in store for me.
