The Smell of Memories

So they say that scent is the closest sense linked to memory. I had an experience today that just may make me a believer! I was looking for a certain Guns and Roses CD and the search lead me to Bobby's old black CD case. I opened it and was instantly hit with such a familiar smell. It was the scent of Bobby's truck. The truck he drove when I met him. A big, white, lifted, diesel engine, Ford! That truck, I cannot tell you the memories that involve the truck! I sat for a few seconds and took in that smell! It isn't a gross scent, or one produced by an air freshener.. it was just the scent of Bob's truck! It took me back.. to parties, and friends, and so many wonderful memories with the people who help make us who we are! Whether it was all nighters at Jay and Mel's, New Years at Danny's or just simply Taco Tuesday at Mexico Lindo... it was always fun! Bobby and I were introduced by his friend Matt and my friend in 2002. The summer that followed was one of the funnest times in our lives! I think Bob and I would both agree that our life today is blessed, happy and so much more then we could wish for but I couldn't put into words how much it makes me smile inside to remember that summer, and all the memories that were made!


This picture is from 4th of July 2002 ( the day we became an official couple), and It was the first picture we ever took together. This picture was taken with a disposable camera, and has been through many moves, and finally scanned into my computer. Also I would like to add that this was taken after a long day at the beach ( and maybe a few beers :) and it shows :) But I love it, and all the memories that followed this day, and this picture!
