on my mind ..

dates. events. activities. memories. years. people. details.

i remember things. A LOT. of things.  

i am your go to woman if you need a refresher about something in the past. 
[if i was present for it. or you told me about it. obvi.]

my companions on my mission would sometimes get annoyed that i could remember every detail about a place or people.

sister black would still call me after i left GB to ask me details. i loved it.

my big sisters fav thing to tell me is .. "CLIFF NOTES VERSION!" .. because i can remember every detail to a story or a dream and i REALLY feel like i need to tell her it ALL when i am sharing a story with her!
she really loves it.

my sarai wishes i was still living with them in spanish fork so i could mentally document the kids' life and tell her all their crazy stories over and over!

one of the many memories on my mind today ..

this photograph was taken 1 year ago today. it was a wednesday.
 i could tell you every thing we did before and after i took this photograph. 

and even WHY i wanted this photograph.

it was my last day in appleton, wisconsin.
and we were dubbed the WINNEBAGO SISTERS!
sister warner & sister v.johnson.

i left this great city and went to the greatness of milwaukee the next day.


wow. memories. i love them.

today is another day of greats. its been 5 months. 

5 months of "normal" life we will call it.

the adjustment is interesting. 
good. funny. awkward. hard. intimidating. new.
so many things.

i hope i dont get Alzheimers one day. 
seriously.

i love having a good memory.
sometimes its beneficial. 
sometimes not.

so if you want to remember something.
just ask miss melanie.
the mind freak.

  3. Just wait until you're 5 years out from the beginning of your mission and you still talk or at least think about it 24/7/365. (SIGH). Missions...
