Old School.

Since it is Thursday and I have already participated in that whole "Throwback Thursday"  thing on instagram, well, why not here as well.  Right?  Exactly.  Something about killing two birds with one stone?  Plus, you get the very special privilege to have a glimpse of little  round faced me.  Now, look at that hair cut!  And that face?  Goodness gracious.  Clearly I was ecstatic to take this photo.  I mean I am just bursting with joy.

Let me give you the snazzy details about this photograph.  Because there is no such thing as a random act.  THERE IS A REASON!  It just happens to be the photo for my very first passport, I know, I know.  Cue the "oohs" and "aahs".  I was about a year old when it was taken.  Little did I know that my momma would be moving me to an entirely different country in a few short weeks.  Yes, this passport was the very passport I entered the United States of America with.  I still have that passport in my possession.  I am sentimental, what can I say.  My life was about to drastically change and I couldn't even smile for the camera.  Typical.  Just typical.  I'm kidding.  I smile all the time now.  I smile to strangers who give me the stank eye, it is quite entertaining.  

So, there it is, out in the open, for all to see, the story behind the picture of the ash blonde in the green dress.  A memory floating around in time and space.  That little girl had no idea what was in store for her.  Absolutely no idea.  She was clueless to all the love, all the joy, all the laughs, all the adventures, all the memories, all the tears and all the heartbreak that was waiting for her a plane ride away.  She had no idea how difficult it would be.  She had no idea how great it would be.  She had no idea, that it would all be worth it.  Every-single-minute.
