It's my 30th birthday year. As part of my celebrations, I thought I would take my birthday month to reflect on my life. To help, I am using some of my scrapbooked pages to illustrate my life. For each year, I've chosen a few pages to highlight that year. I hope you enjoy my look back as much as I do.

1986:

So I was four, but I do have some memories from that year. I remember living in the trailer with my best friend Kristina just down the street. I remember my babysitter was Kristina's mom. I didn't go to preschool, but just child care.

Page 1: Notice the beautiful Strawberry Shortcake cake. I loved watching that cartoon. So much fun. I wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake. And the cake came from Scott Bakery. We bought all of our birthday cakes from that same bakery all the way until I went to college. Unfortunately, they are no longer in business. Their cake will be missed.
