I would do fun photo shoots with my Mom. The best one ever was on New Year's Eve like 1999 or something and we were having a really boring evening. Then about 9pm rolled around and something snapped inside us. We turned into 2 giant goofballs. I am laughing just thinking about it! We were taking all sorts of weird random pics of us. Then we got this idea to get all dressed up in Prom dresses and go drive around and take pictures. My Mom & I put the dresses on real fast and neither of us had underwear on. My Mom says to me.....drum roll..."what if we get pulled over?" That was it. We were complete lunatics after that. I guess she thought they would check or something! LOL We still laugh over this often. Mom, I love you. We have some awesome, fun, crazy, random, memories! XXOXOX
I used to go on awesome dates with Matt or tag along on one of my Mom's dates! My Mom was dating this guy with a Helicopter. How cool is that! So, of course Matt & I wanted to go and they said yes. This was the most awesome thing we had ever done! We were up there for an hour or more. We went up Spanish Fork Canyon then over to the top of Timp! Over to Draper and so on. SO, SO, SO cool!
I used to rock climb. Ya, that's right! I know, that makes me pretty cool! Ha! I take after my Mom!!!
Matt & I used to go to Lake Powell once or twice a summer. We loved to go here. Since having my boys I have been once. How sad is that!
I used to have awesome bangs! a.k.a. the turd roll. Check that out! Oh and I had a pretty nice body that I did not appreciate at ALL.So, I know, even as mother I can still do all of these things or look a certain way but let's face it. When you are a stay at home Mom, you stay in jammies or comfy clothes, wear no make up, eat junk food, try to work out, plan dates with your hubby only to have some one get sick & have to cancel or you have no money to go anyway! Photo shoots are with your babies, helicopters are something you see in the sky, the closest you get to rock climbing are your kids scaling the furniture, vacations are saved for 50th anniversaries or something monumental, and pictures from your 20's are to look back at and reminisce and then think, maybe I could look that good again, as you bite into another cookie and look down at your gut. Maybe?
