memories

this past weekend i lost all of my photos & music since 2008ish, my laptop went crazy and had to be reformatted. the most frustrating part was losing the photos from a trip my family took to Europe for my 15th birthday. losing those photos is almost like erasing them from my life. so the lesson i learned is to backup and store everything in an external hardrive, so that the next time my computer crashes i won't have to worry about all my favorite memories being erased. 

another thing i did this weekend was go on a 5 mile hike/walk with my sister & dog. it was nice to just put away the electronics and just walk around and chat. it was a dark & cold day that eventually led to getting somewhat lost in the rain.
