Where I went wrong:

So, I'm tracing my steps to figure out the monumental life occurrences that brought me to where I am today ... the good and the bad. I've figured out quite a few areas where I went wrong:

getting a blue ribbon at the third grade invention convention

pretending to be Uncle Scott

defending Reese

blaming Reese

helping Krystal pass notes to Jared

calling Heidi out

letting Kirstin read my letter to Desirae

going with the pink and green background

not getting up for roommate prayer

building a group therapy corner

doing somersaults in Joelle's backyard

auditioning for and playing the part of "Martha"

using the metal spoon

learning the sign for "overwhelmed"

having David A's picture on our entertainment center

choosing the wrong "phone a friend"

catching Shayla wearing my shirt

taking two people to Indiana Jones

not doing a change of address

having that one birthday

never returning Andrew's calls

returning that skirt

accepting a free Beanie Baby

meeting Kim in the emergency room at midnight

giving Like Water for Chocolate as a gift

locking the babysitter out of my aunt's bedroom

watching Titanic

mixing friends with coworkers

dropping the orange juice

googling Mabel

not asking about the tears on the airplane

wanting to use the cool spoon

arranging rocks on Marisa's sidewalk

bringing Abby with me

discovering Anchor Blue in Albuquerque and Old Navy in Anaheim

It's crazy to see how TINY little actions can totally shape your life. I've also found a few places

where I went right:

answering the phone when Des called for Coach Albiston

visiting Lewis Chandler on Fathers' Day

finding Amy on facebook

laying on Kylee's "man pillow"

writing a script when I called Mrs. Poston

never using Crofoot's first name

having that cheesy blue patched quilt on my bed

snorkeling in my bedroom

yelling for "MOM!" when I blacked out

hitting Beth with a loaf of bread

being a mountain goat

last-minute ditching work to pretend to be Nathanael in Montana

shoveling Joelle's driveway

jumping on a trampoline overlooking the valley

following the creek instead of the trail

throwing a cockroach

throwing a temper tantrum

watching Sound of Music

saying "Hallo" to Heidi

taking twins to the Art Festival

picking Dane up from a party

signing up for study abroad before mentioning it to my parents
