Childhood Memories.

So, my BFF found some film in a box recently and decided to get it developed to see what was on it.  She texts me yesterday to say "Guess what pictures I just got developed!!!!"  I knew based on the word developed that they were clearly old.  I soon get an email of some them and I see they are pics of a trip we took several years ago to my old neighborhood in Santa Clara, California.  We took pictures of my old house and my old elementary school.  I almost fell over.  Wow!!!  Not only was this trip somewhere around 7 years ago, but seeing the house and school again was so strange.  Just as strange as it was that day I am sure.  So I thought I would share them.

This house seemed sooooooo much bigger when I was 10 years old.  I can't believe how tiny it is. But then again, I guess everything seems bigger when you are only 10.  ;) I remember riding my bike up and down this street for hours every night, and roller skating one time, when I fell and bruised my tailbone. The street was always full of kids and we were ALWAYS getting into some sort of trouble or into things we shouldn't have been.  Good times!



Scott Lane Elementary School.  I went here from 2nd grade till 4th grade when I then moved to Nevada. Lots and lots of memories of this school.  I remember all of my teachers so well from here.  I even remember going back about 2 years after I moved and visiting with one of my favorite teachers.

It is so strange to see pictures of places from your past.  It's like you get flooded with the memories that accompany the places. Not to mention.....  They make you feel really old.  LOL

  1. Thats so fun. :) I wish picture taking and actually getting them into albums was still a priority. Its such a great way to capture and remember and so fun to go through once they are in the albums. Now you scroll through your phone. which is nice but not the same.

    Thanks for sharing.

    1. LOL! So true. Scrolling through our phones isn't quite the same. Definitely easier and convenient but it doesn't have that "Awwww. I remember that" feeling with the eyes tearing up. LOL
