Dadeo

One of the most confusing things to me is TIME. I don't understand it at all!! It has been 7 YEARS (7 YEARS!!??!!) this week since my dad passed away. Although I can't remember a time before digital cameras, apparently I didn't have one 7 years ago. I had to take pictures of pictures, so the quality of the pics on this post aren't wonderful. Everywhere I go with my mom, people say that we are twins. Mom and I both agree that I look more like my dad. What do you think?? Hopefully I am a mix of the two.

New Year's Eve 2000.....

Funny, funny story. My mom and dad never let me go out on special nights like New Year's Eve or the Fourth of July. They said that the drunks would be out. Most New Year Eves Rachel and I would stay home and mom would make finger foods and her famous punch. We would drink punch in fun champayne glasses and dress up in hats and act ridiculous. The picture above is from 1999. If you remember, everybody was talking about Y2K and how all the computers would stop working. People were convinced that it was the end of the world. Well, Rachel and I were upstairs watching MTV's New Year show waiting on the ball to drop. Dad decided it would be funny to go in the utility room and hit the power switch for the whole house to lose power as soon as the countdown got to 1. They laughed SOOOOO hard as they heard us screaming at midnight on the other side of the house.
