Alright-  here is my project.
Wanna know WHY these sweet, fun pictures were taken?
Little Melvins.
I live in a resort community.
The MOST BEAUTIFUL lake in the whole wide world is 2 blocks away from my house.
....and so is LITTLE MELVINS.

Little Melvins holds a TON of history for this CHICK.
in 1991 I graduated from Highschool.
in 1991 I was pregnant with my oldest son Nicholas.
in I got a job at Little Melvins.
...and they were SO GOOD to me.
the owners, the customers, EVERYTHING about that place is LOVE.

i stopped working there in 1995. 
cried all the way home.
i KNEW i would miss that place.
so much.

a couple years after i was done working there...NEW OWNERS took over.
Dave and Mary.
Some of the most KIND and GRACIOUS people you will ever meet!
they have been in charge of MELVINS for a very long time.
we have made some AMAZING memories - with friends and family.
LAST SATURDAY.
was the LAST NIGHT of MELVINS.
....these were the pictures taken amongst FRIENDS.
look at the happiness. 
WE were SO LUCKY to have that joint.
WE are going to MISS the MELVINS legacy.

BUT CHANGE IS GOOD, right?
all is well.

the kit i used in this LAYOUT is {...thankful FOR YOU} 
how appropriate is THAT? 
:)
i am THANKFUL for the women in this picture.
i am THANKFUL for LITTLE MELVINS.
the friendships, the laughter, and even the opportunity to raise my babies while i was young, work my rear off, and make the most amazing life long acquaintences.
