Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.
Over the last few weeks, I've spent a fair amount of time thinking about people I miss and reflecting on times past, and I've realized -- yet again -- how very blessed I've been by those the Lord has put in my life and the experiences he's allowed me to have. So for this week's Multitude Monday, here are some pictures that show some of the people, places, and events (from 2003-2008) that have helped to shape me and bring me to where I am today. Some of them are kind of random, since I pulled all of them out of Facebook albums...yet, they're all sweet memories nonetheless.
