I Remember

I remember shooting hoops on my little plastic hoop inside at my old home. That's the farthest back I can go. I was 3. I remember going to the Dinosaur Museum for the first time and playing in the sand for hours. I remember filling up with gas for the first time. I remember walking through the red woods and just looking up. I remember getting hit by a pitch and getting the wind knocked out of me. I remember a kid named Evan on my team ran to third base instead of first. I remember breaking my jaw and biting my tongue in half. I remember the day I got my license and I lied about my height and weight. I remember having not one but both of my seizures. I remember burying my great-grandpa on a cold cloudy day. I remember being the tallest  in 1st grade and then the shortest in 8th. I remember the first time I talked to that girl. I remember winning my 8th grade football championship. I remember scoring my first touchdown. I remember almost quitting. I remember almost transferring to AF. I remember driving down the west coast and wanting to buy a beach house. I remember going to Disneyworld.  I remember being in the shamoo show. I remember playing wiffle-ball all summer long and having it never get old. I remember watching Space Jam everyday for one summer. I remember finding a Nintendo 64 under the TV on Christmas Day.

 I remember hiking 24 miles in three days. I remember having a 24 marathon with Dillon. I remember moving away from all my friends. I remember going driving on the freeway for the first time. I remember playing with my friends down the street. I remember learning how to ride a bike. I remember running into a tree when I was running to catch a football. I remember almost getting caught. I remember lying to my parents for the first time. I remember sneaking out. I remember my 6th grade teacher getting engaged in class. I remember then having a substitute for two weeks. I remember going to the space center for a field trip and I was the captain! I remember going on my first date. I remember my first nightmare and I got shot. I remember mooning a family picture.
