27

Today is my 27th birthday. Only 3 years left of my 20's :( HEHE. It's crazy, I can VIVIDLY remember my 7th birthday, which was 20 years ago today. My sister, Sue and her family lived down in the bottom of the Black Canyon in Colorado. By the way, there is only ONE house in the bottom of the canyon. Anyway, my birthday party was down there. It was one of my most favorite birthdays, because of where it was. Also, my parents put together a scavenger hunt for my last birthday present, a new bike. That was fun! There are SO many fun memories down in the canyon. My brother-in-law worked for the water users, so that is how they were able to live there. My nephew, Shane was actually born down there (probably the only person to be born there). From my home in Olathe, if you could go straight to the canyon, it would only be about 15 miles. But... You actually had to drive about 40 minutes to get to the bottom of it, and we went almost every day for 2 years. It was so beautiful down there. In the summer, we had a bonfire almost every night. I could go on and on about it, but I'm not going to ;) But, on my 7th birthday, we had the party down there, then we came home. Sue called us almost exactly when we got home and told us that Stephanie (2), my niece, had fallen into their well and was bleeding and hurt. So we went back down there. She ended up being just fine, but it was scary. It's hard to believe that was 20 years ago. Thanks for taking a stroll with me down memory lane :) Have a good day.
