Flashback Friday 005

I am officially back from the Philippines!
I got about three days ago and have been thrown back into the realities of my life, including all the responsibilities I got to leave behind for a couple of weeks. Posts about my trip to the Philippines will come shortly!

For Flashback Friday, I wanted to share some photos back in the day of my mother.
It's cliche, but I truly cannot imagine the type of person I would be without her. Her birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to show the world (well at least the readers of this post) how amazing of a mother I have and how I hope to one day be as loving as caring of a mother as she is. Also, I would like her shoe and ring collection :]

My mother knows me inside and out even when I don't let her in, she knows my every thought. She continually looks out for me and lets me know how proud she is and how much she loves me. I always know she is looking out for me. She cooks me food to bring back to my house in Boone, gives me shoes she doesn't want anymore (that I do!), hangs my paintings in her apartment, and showers me with love. I haven't met a woman more hard working, appreciative or with a great personality.

Thank you Mom for being there.
For always being there.

Love you.

Since I'll be going to the Philippines next with my Dad to visit my older sister,
I deemed it appropriate to share a picture of us probably 18+ years ago :]
I don't remember this day,
but I can tell that I loved it.
Can't you?

My older sister looks like a stylin' diva,
I'm loving my Dad's high tops
and I'm cheesin hardcore, as per usual.

I love you both so dearly.


I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Friday.

Just a little reminder, the band Elijah Leaves is playing at Primo's tomorrow.
So if you're in Boone, come check them out!

Photobooths!
Who doesn't love them?
I'm not exactly sure when these two were taken, but I do know I love the people in them.

Dear Photobooths,

You make pictures so much more fun and impulsive. Please never die out.

Love your fan,
Melissa

Flashback Friday 002


 WAIT...WHAT?

It's Halloween of 2009! My friends and I (well most of us) dressed up as Disney characters.
From left to right - Dr. Phil, Mulan (me), Nala, Batmans, Meg, Esmerelda, Tinkerbell, Peter Pan, Pocahontas and Catwoman. We then proceeded to a dance party.

These are definitely some good times that I love to look back on. Hopefully we'll be able to dress up this year and have everyone together for Halloween. My roommates and I are definitely trying to implement some themed parties this year! It's our last year of college, so we're going to leave it with a bang!

It was a simple day,
with the sweetest love any daughter... any person could feel.


So simple.
I wish more things could be like this picture of me and my father.
