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.

1987: I was five!  This is where my life really started (at least according to my memories).  We moved, I got a dog, I started kindergarten.  It was a great year!

Page 1:  My first trip to Disney World!  I loved every minute of it.  I especially liked meeting Cinderella. Let's face it, little girls love meeting the princesses.  We even had dinner in the castle.  For some reason the only pics I could find were of me and Cinderella and me on Dumbo.  Odd, I am sure there were more.  Oh well, you still get the idea.

Page 2: We built a house!  Of course it is decorated in 1980s chic.  Note the frilly red and white strawberry curtains in the kitchen.  Ugly!  But I loved that house.  It is the first one where I can recall the entire layout and decor.  I especially loved watching it being built as evidenced by my twirling in the frame.

Page 3: Excuse the blurry photography.  But notice the wondrous pink and white bedroom!  I loved that bedroom.  Later on, I even got my own desk to go to the right of the window.  I still have that quilt hanging on the wall.  If I'm not mistaken, my late great-grandma Helen (in pic above) made it for me.  The other highlight of the year was getting a dog: Milkdud.  Isn't he adorable?  In reality, he loved to bite and raise holy hell all over the house.
