Time Traveling

One of my favorite apps that I use everyday is my timehop app.  I enjoy reliving the photos, memories, and the random thoughts, quotes or retweets I've shared on social media on this date in years past, some going back in time to 6 years ago to the day.  It's always fun to see pictures of how my girls have aged through the years, or recall a Bible verse that spoke to me, or an inspirational quote that encouraged me on that specific date in my past.  I've come to realize this is one of the reasons I remain active and engaged on social media so that I'll have an opportunity to see these posts from my timeline in the future.

Today's timehop was full of activity from the past 6 years on November 15th.  One post in particular prompted me to write this blog post.  Back in the fall of 2013 the latest buzz on facebook was to share 10 personal and interesting facts about yourself on your page.  I enjoyed reading these posts from my friends, and after giving it some days of thought I decided to jump in with my own list:







































      8.  I love spicy food!   Must be the Louisiana-born 
           Texas-raised in me.
      9.  I share a birthday with Elvis (Jan 8), must be why 
           God led me to Memphis, that, or to meet Cindy.
    10.  I'm discovering more and more that Nicole, is just 
           like me, while Taylor is more like Cindy.

A few weeks ago I ran across another timehop post I enjoyed in which I remembered blogging about 2 years ago, Astrodome Memories.  Reading past blog entries such as this reminded me of why I began journaling and was one of the reasons why I started this blog 4 years ago.     

And on the subject of time traveling, last weekend VH1 aired a "Back to the Future" movie marathon.  Our girls had barely even heard of these movies until last month's buzz surrounding "Back to the Future Day" on 10/21/15, so I set the DVR and Cindy and I enjoyed watching the movie with the girls...hard to believe it was 30 years ago when the first Back to the Future movie came out!
