Memories

So, last night I went through a few of my junk boxes I had from back home. I was a little pack rat for awhile there. I saved EVERY note, picture and I was an avid journal writer. These are a few of the gems I found last night...


Above- Best Friends Forever!

Below- My 1st Boy Friend- Brian O'Bannon It was true love ;)




Here is a letter to JTT (Jonathon Taylor Thomas) I never sent it. I was in LOVE!

and the back side...

The journal entry from my 1st kiss...



and here is my 1st kiss and I together!

Aren't memories fun!?

That is HILARIOUS!!!! I really said that??? Yeah, I'll bet I did. His mom probably said the same thing! And, I LOVE what you said to him... "I just need PRACTICE." What a hoot! That is tooooooooo funny. Sheesh. I don't even know who my first kiss was with. That's sad!

Karen K. said...

Oh, and the Jonathan Taylor Thomas letter. Again, HILARIOUS! I'm sure he would've written back to you if you'd only sent it...

1. I LOVE your letter to JTT! I have one myself!
2. You lived in Twain Heart? We had a cabin there! LOOOVED IT!
3. LOVE the bangs in your last picture! It was like the ONLY way to do it back then!

Lindsey- that was actually Jtt's address- not mine. I have never been to that part of CA ;(

Jill said...

Sarah, I don't think I have laughed so much in a long time! How adorable were you!!! I LOOOVE the letter to JTT (I, too, thought he was a hottie!) and wish I could read all the scribbled-out parts of the letter! And I love your journal entry about your first kiss! I totally remember Devon! That's so funny! What cool memories to have. I kept EVERYTHING like that for so long, then got rid of a bunch of it just before Wade and I got married. But I think I have an old journal from 5th grade or so laying around somewhere, you've inspired me to go find it!!! I LOOOVE this post! :)

Britta said...

Oh, Sarah! Sinful and Bad! I'm laughing! And I love that he wasn't too much taller than you, maybe a couple feet? Ha ha!

Thanks for sharing such a fun story from your past. I went through TONS of old cards and letters when we moved last summer, and I love the nostalgia.

Natalie said...

So I haven't read thought the letters and journal writes yet... But I loved seeing pictures of you! How fun!

Karen K. said...

Oh, by the way, Em and I were laughing about your first kiss with that guy who was a COUPLE OF FEET taller than you??? That was funny.

Francisco J. Darquea said...

Sinful and bad... LOL.
I can see it all in my mind. You are so funny. A kiss that lasted 1 second. That's a peck!

Lora said...

hee hee I love that you still have all that stuff, and better yet put it on your blog! So fun. I need to go through all my junk and see the treasures I find!

Lora said...

ha ha ha ha ok I commented on the idea of your blog before I actually read your letter! I love the spiky hair comments!! =)

Scott said...

All I wanna know is if there is an equal entry in your journal for Brett? . . . gotta look out for the bro, you know?

Karen K. said...

Sarah probably won't share her "Brett" journal in a public forum! ;) (and it might be a good idea to clear it with him first!!!) :)

Alisha said...

wow. that letter to jtt was awesome. amy and i LOVED him. i think if i posted about my firs tkiss jeff would fly off the handle. how is brett dealing with this post? too funny!
i shop at three places for jill: old navy, target and walmart. that's it really.

Karen K. said...

Brett, I hope you don't fly off the handle! Most of us girls don't have our very first kiss with our spouse... do we? Maybe our husbands would like to think so however. ;)

Oh my goodness i can't stop giggling!! I miss the old memories!! Those pictures took me right back to the good old days!! I have been thinking about going through old pic so i will try to find some as well!!

Brandi said...

I still remember when we went to the movie together and I said that your hair was going to get messed up. You know why "wink wink." But after the movie, (you, me, devin, and zach i think), you were like "i don't know what you were talking about, it didn't get messed up at all." I'm going to sound really stupid if you don't remember LOL.

Lanette said...

Hahaha, I love this post! Your journal entry was awesome, and definitely brought back memories of 14 year old me and my silly adventures. And the letter to JTT was a riot too. Where is he now anyway? Thanks for sharing this!

lindsaymarchant said...

That post was awesome! I remember all those goofy times (except the JTT letter of course). You really were boy crazy. Devon...that was funny! I remember us looking like that like it was yesterday. Sometimes I still feel 14. Maybe it is because we had so much fun.

Egghead said...

This was too funny Sarah. I never kept a journal because I was always afraid my brothers would find it and read it. Now I wish I had. I love that you were "sinful" and that he was two feet taller than you. Ha ha!

Egghead said...

Oh and that top photo. Could Kelli look more dorky? Ha ha!

AMY AND MIKEY said...

I LOVE this post. so hilarious. I love the arms around the shoulders pose with your Boyfriend. And teh letter to JTT so funny. I love you-

AMY AND MIKEY said...

Dawn said...

That was a great post! Those letters are too funny! Don't throw those away your girls will love reading them in the future. That was great, thanks.

be you blithe and bonny said...

I can not stop laughing at this - absolutely the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Seriously, I am still laughing, first at the P.S. I think you're cute and then the "I'm sinful..."
I think I ripped out all my old journal entries! And I never mailed my letters to Sean Astin & Kirk Cameron either.

be you blithe and bonny said...

Isn't sinful & bad an ice cream flavor for Ben & Jerry's?

Hailey & Jared said...

bahahahaha I never knew you dated Brian....that makes two of us! I remember the good old days, I thought you girls were the best thing since mac & cheese!

Unknown said...

Sarah- I haven't chekced blogs in a while and I just saw this one....oh my gosh I haven't laughed so hard in a while! That was great! I love seeing those old pictures of you guys and that journal entry was AWESOME!
