"Believe it or not, you are in control of your own life. You are the reason why you're sad,
and you're the reason why you're happy. Don't wait for happiness. Go out and find it."

Do you remember...

Your bedtime rituals.. When I was little, and it was my bedtime, I would always ask my parents to tuck me in. They always came in said goodnight, and sometimes tickled my back. I loved this when I was little. I can't wait to tuck my kids in.
What you dreamed of being when you grew up.. I always wanted to be a teacher. An elementary teacher. Or a Veterinarian. But mostly a teacher. Me and Hannah would always make the kids across the street at her moms house play school. We would be the teachers of course. We would make up worksheets, name tags, folders.. We had everything. A little school room in her moms basement. Miss those days.. 
Your idols.. As clique as it sounds, my parents will always be my idols.
A gift you made for someone.. I remember making a pine cone and dipping it in confetti, for my parents. (: 
An incident in a school lunch room.. Mr. Barton, a fifth grade teacher at Lincoln, he was never my teacher, but I always hated how we couldn't sit wherever we wanted at lunch. He made us fill one table up then the next. 
Your chores.. I remember these well. At one time in my life I was an organization freak.. not so much anymore. I made mine and Cass' chore list and I followed it almost everyday. Cass, not so much (: They were. Feed the dog. Pick up the poop. Clean room. Clean bathroom. Clean the bird cage. Feed Chloe. My chores consisted of all the animals. Because the only other person I would say who loves animals as much as I do is my dad. He would sometimes help me. But for the most part that was my job.
Who told you about the birds and the bees.. My whole life I somehow already kinda knew what was supposed to go down. But I remember my mom talking to me and Cass about it.
What you daydreamt about.. Boys.. Love.
Any childhood illnesses.. I have always been the healthiest child. Until recently. :/ I remember having the chicken pox in 6th grade on my birthday. That's it. That year I received Maddy (:
Your first big disappointment.. One year I remember wanting the Spice Girl backpack SO bad. But they were always sold out. I would see all the girls at school with them and I would always be jealous. Ten years later I now have my Spice Girl backpack. My daddy won it for me on ebay. (:
Your most embarrassing moment.. I had the flu in 3rd grade. I stayed home from school for a few days. But that Friday I had a presentation. My mom thought I was better enough to go to school and I kept telling her I wasn't. She must of thought I was trying to get out of it but right when I was in front of the class giving my presentation I threw up. Almost on my classmates sitting on the floor in front of me.. Thanks mom!
