I remember how easy life was when all you had to worry about was the crust on your peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  I remember counting to 30 just to be able to swing at recess. I remember how much fun we had playing house. (I'd make you be the pet dog.) I remember picking the neighbors flowers just to give to you. I remember digging for worms and selling mud pies. I remember That's So Raven and Phil of the Future. I remember how big I felt when I finally started middle school. I remember realizing how small I really was. I remember seeing my dad cry for the first time. I remember how long it felt when he was in Iraq. I remember how close we all were and how much fun we had. I remember when we first started liking each other. I remember his hands and how big they felt holding mine. I remember my first kiss. (I think about it all the time.) I remember the time he asked me what my favorite color was. I remember it ending and how much everything changed. I remember the warm sand between my toes and the sun rays on my skin. I remember the salty water and all the colorful fish. I remember walking into Lone Peak High School as a student. I remember how good it felt to be shorter than most of the guys. I remember going to Texas and Oklahoma for American Idol. I remember how surreal it was to sing in front of the celebrity judges. I remember when all my friends let high school get to their heads. I remember learning how to drive. I remember all the mistakes I have made. I remember all the boys that I have kissed. I remember the first day I started to dance and sing. I remember yesterday. I remember today.
