But now I must finish, so like every month or so I do a page, because I am fast and productive. Here is what I have done. It's supposed to be a scrapbook/timeline of Zach and I. But another realization I came to was that Zach and I have been dating way too long, making it difficult to document. Maybe I should just write "Confusing our friends and families since high school" on a blank piece of paper, glue our picture next to it, and be done.
The inside of that Valentine's note says, "I made you a Valentine. Here it is."
The note about prom is actually about him going with someone else, this is junior year, so before we were dating.
I'm not sure why I only saved "Men in Black II" and "Lord of the Rings" as far as movie stubs go. I can't think of two movies I feel more apathetic about. Also, please notice Zach's puka shell necklace. He was serious.
It's been fun going through my old stuff, but I feel very "eh" about the results so far. Angie and Casey and the rest of you talented whores, help.

Would you stop! Your scrapbook looks very cute, put aside your perfectionism and enjoy all the memories.
Was that the archaic Jetta I spotted next to Zachie doing the thumbs up?
I LOVE it! It's perfect and I think it's so cute. I remember the xoxox page from his mission. You guys have so many cute pictures together, I love it.
Oh and that comment above was from me.

aww i think it is adorable. while the confusing friends and family since high school theme is hilarious...maybe you should just make that one page.
Erica your scrapbook is adorable, it doesn't need anything. Quit stressing. Just be glad you have done that much. All the stuff I have from Mike and I dating is in a box somewhere. :(

Yes that is the Jetta. And that is a picture of Zach posing next to the foil antenna he made for it.
those of us who are scrapbook retarded salute you and what you have created.
far far better than any of my efforts.
In the words of Kevin, "Are ya kidding me?!" It's 100 times better than mine, and that may or may not be because I haven't started mine yet.
I know you've said you and Zach prefer to just live in sin, but can you pa-lease get married already and invite me to your wedding?
"Someone do this for me; I suck" is my response to trying to make myself a header. And now I see you have your own blog about it. How much do you charge?
Side note: That reminds me of the song, "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard... I could teach you, but I'd have to charge."
2nd side note: I'm a gaywad.
So cute, and you are doing it, that is more than I can say for myself. I am in a scrapbook swap, so Iprobably have 40 really cute pages, and none of them have pictures on them. I know, I am pathetic.
Ok, my 3rd comment... I'm a stalker. I know I'm not cool, and you are, but you and your girlfriends are invited to that party thing tonight at my Mom's house. Need new jeans? Or a cute new vintage shirt? Fimd it there. Heidi knows where my Mom lives if you want to grace us with your presence.
what are you fishing for comliments my feline? It's cute!
and you put lots of meaningful things like notes and ticket stubs and things that don't leave tons of room for other doo-dads but mean a lot lot more. I love it. I wished I was smart enough to save things like that.....(and maybe....uh... had a boyfriend to save them of). haha
also I agree with michelle. I just finished doing my presentation last night and turned in my big paper on birthorder and you first borns are real perfectionists. actually a lot of things in first borns reminded me of you. Maybe I'll give you the presentation. haha
Thank you for the encouragement everyone. I think maybe if I just re-do a couple of the pages I'll feel better.
lol Alisse, I'll help you make a header if you want me to. I haven't looked at your blog yet though so I'm sure the one you made is cute!
And Casey shut up. Seeing the scrapbook you made for Malia and Brad is pretty much what gave me a complex.
k, this is a seriously cool/cute scrapbook. truly, you must be too close to it, because it's so aesthetically adorable, as well as sentimentally tender. aka what scrapbooking is all about.
LOVE the z&e...so cute. and the xoxo page w/ that as the background is genius. clean & simple is where it's at. you did so good! makes me wanna go dig up myron & i's old crap & do the same thing. oh wait...we took zero pictures while we were dating. and i don't recall any cute notes or tender paraphernalia. we're boring.
way to be not boring. slash the cutest couple to exist.
i am a scrapbooking freak, not in the "i taught martha stuart how do do this" kinda way, more in the "i like shiney letters and colored paper! and glue! pretty pictures!" kinda way.
its why i call them Crapbooks.
but they are MY crapbooks and they are full to the brim of all of MY wonderful memories!
i just relooked over it and I figured out the gliches....I'm not any any of those pictures....I think that I'm part of your timeline?...am I not?....if i'm not, I feel mislead for a good portion of the last decade.
So we have the most hideous wedding announcement to give you. The picture itself is not that painful, it is the wording on the where they are registered at card that is the best. Hint: it is Lion King themed. But we have to wait until the blessed event is over, because whenever we make fun of it, my dad gets ticked. So it has to get "thrown away" first.
perfect---of course! What can I say, you've come along way from when we used to have scrapbooking get-togethers in Jr. High. Sadly, I'm still on the same level.
