A Charmed Life...

When I was a little girl my family gave me a charm bracelet. I've collected charms for all the special moments in my life, places I've been, and things I've accomplished. I love looking back at my bracelet and remembering all these things. It's quite a collection and all that silver adds up. However, the real value is in all the special memories I've shared with the people I love most in the world.

I'm running out of room to add more! I think I'm going to transfer them to a necklace soon

I love the memories, but it's so clinky now I can hardly wear it any where. It jingles whenever I move and all the little charms catch on clothes.

Below I've tried to capture and label as many as I could. I left a lot out. Fun for me to document! And some of the dates are probably wrong...

Meth Lab

A law enforcement officer was approached by several people lately wanting to know how to identify a meth lab. 

Here is a picture of four labs. I think it's pretty obvious which one is the Meth Lab. I hope this helps. 

Let me know if can be of any further service in this matter.

My mom sent me this in an e-mail. Thought it was funny. 

BAD dog!

It's amazing how quickly Emma can destroy things! I turned around for a few minutes and this is what happened....

my slippers are completely ruined. I get it. They have the same effect as many of her toys, and they were even on the floor. But what I don't get is why it took her five months for her to decide that, today, they would make a good toy. Funny how she ripped the sole out separately. There was a lot more fluff she tore out too, but I already threw it away. We knew things like this would probably happen when we got a lab... she's just been so good about not tearing up items that aren't toys, it came as a surprise to discover my slippers in her mouth. I'm bummed.
