Moving is not easy, but life just wouldn't be complete without all my best friends from everywhere I've lived. One day I was talking with my mom about moving. She, like any parent would, was wondering the extent that moving effected our lives. I told her I think it was good I went through some major moves growing up because it helped me build character and increase my confidence. She said, "Um, I don't think you've ever lacked confidence." Okay, kind of true, but since my confidence only seems to wane as I get older, at least I can appreciate moving for character.*When we moved to Mesa, we couldn't move into our home right away so we bunked up in an apartment. 3 adults, 6 kids. Thank goodness it was only three weeks or so.

Maybe I'd have an easier time now if I moved more when I was younger. :)
We stopped moving around third grade, and then is was smooth sailing until college. Now I try to move every three to six months, because, why not?
Your hair is so blond! But you still look the same. :) Just more sophisticated.
look how cute you were! i wonder about all that moving, too. mostly, i think i developed empathy for feeling like an outsider. highly recommended.
and i think you would look adorable with some highlights in your hair...
I actually remember your first day in 30th ward. I was still relatively new, I think. But you looked just like that.
Anna, thank you for giving me another opportunity to say how much I hated moving when I was younger. Any chance to complain... ;)
It's good that you learned to be outgoing as a result. Seems like I just got more and more shy.
