Our Storybook 2000-2004

Warning: run time of video is 23 minutes!

I put this video together back in 2004. Ryan was almost 3 years old and Nathan had just turned 1. I did it as a storybook of our lives together thus far. It starts out when Dave and I first started dating thru 2004. I guess it may be time to do the next 4 years.

I just love pictures, movies and memories. To travel back in time and relive certain events through film is almost as good (or bad considering what event) as it was the first time.

I did this video just after we learned Ryan had autism. It was a difficult time in life. Doing the video helped me remember, and more importantly appreciate, the good times. I think I was trying to cling on to all of the pre-autism days that I could. It worked becuase I ended up falling in love with my family all over again and it charged my heart for a few more go rounds with life.

This is proof for me how important and effective letting go of the bad and keeping the good is.
