There's a first time for everything

Well here goes my first shot at this blog thing.
I don't even really know why this popped into my head all of a sudden to be honest.
But I have always had a lot to say and I think some people might want to read it..
I've just had so many things on my mind as of late concerning life and all that it consists of.
That being family, church, school, friends and anything else I've forgotten.
I have great family, and I would be utterly lost without them.
My mom has been my best friend and confidant my whole life and I wouldn't change that.
My dad has been so supportive of me my whole life and always willing to give me one of those dad speeches if I needed it..
I have one wonderful brother and three amazing sisters.
I know what you're thinking, five kids, her parents must have been insane.
But it was the great kind of insane, you know what they say, all those inventors and world changers were a little bit crazy.
Growing up you always had someone to play with or pick on.
Even being the youngest it was so much fun.
Now that my brother Chase has been out of the house for almost ten years it strikes me that we can never get those days back.
We are all adults now, scary thought since I just turned twenty years old and don't feel like I've aged since I was sixteen.
This Christmas really made me nostalgic for the good ole' days of playing in the backyard in the tree fort or jumping on the trampoline.
It's weird how life sneaks up on you in the weirdest moments.
It doesn't even do one of the ever popular "Tada!" intro's, its more like a stealthy ninja lurking in the shadows.
Now that all of us have formed our opinions on things and grown up in different times we aren't the same wide-eyed kids we were back in the twentieth century.
I can only remember those crazy days of jumping from the top of the fort to the trampoline hoping mom doesn't glance out the bank of floor to ceiling windows we have facing the backyard.
I guess the only point of this story is I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to the days where I had no stress, worries or problems other than what kind of ice cream we will have for dessert.
This concludes the first of Macri's Musings
I hope you enjoyed, giggled and remembered your own "good ole' days" moments.
Check back in awhile for round two.
