A Moment in Time

Tomorrow I will be purchasing my first iPhone! I have been waiting for my 2 year upgrade to get the best deal on my phone, and saving my birthday money! I know, I sound like a 13 year old saving her babysitting money! 13, going on 30. Ha! But since I have turned 30 last week, I now have a huge pimple smack in the middle of my cheek! Yuck, sometimes I feel like I am 13 still! You know how when people lose a lot of weight and they have a hard time with their "new" skinny body? Well I have that opposite mentality! I still cant believe that I am 30 and overweight! Enough of that....anyway, back to the new phone!

Although I am SUPER excited to get a phone that functions properly, I am kind of sad to get rid of my old one! I have had this Droid Eris for almost 2 years. This phone reminds me of a particular moment in time. We had just moved into my parents basement with the girls (awaiting our next move), and I was so excited to have a smart phone! The twins weren't even one yet and the very first picture I took in it was Lili doing her "old man face" she used to do on command. It also documented when we were at playgroup and Gabi crawled into someone else's toy bin. I remember these moments like they were yesterday. My phone triggers those memories, and that specific period in time.  My babies were still babies, not even 1 yet. Its just like when I sort through my girls clothes and spot clothing that triggers a memory. I smell it and it brings me back to a different moment in their lives.

I think my husband thinks I am TOO sentimental at times. I probably am. Isabella is now just like her mom, she cried when we got rid of our old hand me down TV for the new flat screen. She said, "I like our old TV!" We have moved so many times in the last few years and every time we move I feel like we leave a little bit of our hearts behind. I get sad when I have to move, even if I am excited for a bigger, better place.

All in all, I am PUMPED for my iPhone! But when you replace the old there is always some hesitation to look back.

Here's to hopefully blogging on my new phone next time!
