remembering

before bed the other night, erik and i were talking about when we first met.

that boy has a darn good memory.

he told me that it was easy to get to know me because... i showed him all 240 pictures that were on my phone. (this was day 5 of knowing each other and our first time hanging just the two of us.)

i giggled. thinking, i probably did that. also thinking, who does that?

then i remembered when my ali from cali moved to the 406. one of the first times we hung out i made her sit down with 7 of my ginormous scrapbooks and look through those so she could get a lay of the land.

i like people to be in the know. i like to be in the know.

i know that all of life doesn't need to be documented...but if i don't document it...i don't remember it. and i like this life. i want to recall it all.

so i have:

too many pictures

several journals

my blog

every card i've ever been given

lots of wrist bands, tickets, & pieces of paper

to be able to recall it all.

sometimes i don't know what to do with all these remembering tools.

then last year i found Project Life.

i think i first spotted it on Ali Edwards blog.

my dear mother...

was so sweet and bought some project life goods for me this past Christmas.

everyday i dream about getting started.

but i am ready to rock n roll with it.

How do you keep track of all the goodness of your life?

Could you give Project Life a try?
