This is my title page for my “me” album - based on CK article challenge. Scanned kind of weird cause of the corrugated paper but everything is straight IRL. I tried to figure out how to get the journaling to be a part of the page but in the end gave up and put it under the picture which flips up. Journaling reads:I’ll keep this short (ha). I’ll admit that the prospect of doing an album just about myself seems a bit, ummm, egotistical, scary, even decadent considering I have millions of baby pictures to do! But then I thought about it. This album isn’t really about me! Sure, It may seem like it but really, it’s about me, my friends and my family. It’s not about me, but about the things that matter to me. It’s not about me, but the things that make me who I am. So, now that I’ve reconsidered the subject matter, I can’t wait to get to it. I’m excited to document the important things in my life. OK, here comes the self-serving part. I could dedicate this album to my friends and family, present and future. While I’m happy that this will serve as an artifact of my life to future generations, I choose to dedicate it to myself. I want to always remember where I came from and how I got to be who I am. Souza once said “Happiness is a journey, not a destination.” I like to think life itself is a journey. That is why I’ve decided to tackle this project; so that I will always remember the events that culminated to form my life, the destination. In 30, 40 or 50 years, I can look at this album as a snapshot of who I was at 26. A wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. I hope to do more of these albums. Maybe I will do a new one every 5 or 10 years to document the progression of my life. Whether that happens or not, I will always have this album. And that’s better than nothing.This picture was taken on my 26th birthday. Carlos and I went for one of our early morning drives to catch the sunrise in Merced. I was about 12 weeks pregnant and having a great (translation: no morning sickness) day. Carlos caught me at an unexpected moment (pajamas and all…) but I think it’s a good reflection of who I am right now. Truly happy and virtually carefree. I hope I stay this way for a long time.
