Yearbook Week

Do you remember yearbook week in high school? Everyone was in a hurry to get their hands on a copy of the yearbook. And what was the first thing you did when you received it? Why, you opened it up and began looking to see how many times you were in it, of course.

I was on yearbook staff at the very small high school that Jim and I both attended. Nearly every picture held a memory and you knew everyone in grades 9-12. Our girls, on the other hand, graduated from very large high schools in the Houston area. As a matter of fact, Meagan graduated from what was then one of the two largest high school's in Texas...they shared the title since the other was on the same city block. Looking through her yearbook was a whole different experience in that she personally knew very few of those pictured in the candid shots.

What does this have to do with anything, you ask? Well, I received a wonderful gift this past Sunday night. It is an album of our New York trip...actually, it is two albums of our New York trip. Robin took all of our pictures, organized them into days/events and had them printed in albums from the Shutterfly website. I was just in awe looking though a very professionally laid out keepsake of our trip. When I brought mine home and showed it to Jim he commented that it was like having a yearbook with pictures of only you and your friends.

Great description. If you are looking for a very personal gift, check out Shutterfly. The front cover is all about us, the back cover is all about us...and everything in between. The next time you are at my house, you will probably find it on my coffee table. Feel free to browse it's pages and enjoy our trip almost as much as we did. Thanks again, Robin, for an amazing remembrance of NYC!
