Happy Birthday Auntie Ed!

Here's a post dedicated to my Auntie Ed, was the lucky aunt who got stuck with me when my parents went on vacation most of the time. Aunt Ed's house was always so much fun, I don't even remember missing my parents. According to my mom, when they took their first big trip without me, they put a book together with a map and things that would show me where they were each day. They were in Singapore. Apparently, my Aunt Ed showed me the book once and that was it... I didn't need to see it again.

Life lessons from Aunt Ed:
- that ketchup on mac & cheese is pretty good
- bad words (unintentionally i'm sure)
- eat scrambled eggs when you have a hangover, it's easier if they come back up
- be quiet when fishing, or else you'll scare the fish away (j/k - she tried to pass on this piece of advice, only problem was I didn't listen, kept talking, and was the only one to catch a fish)
- how to squat and not pee on my pants
- how to play cribbage
- and many more!



memories of times together:
- throwing popcorn at a snake in the middle of the road
- slamming my thumb in a locked car door, and her not believing me until I started to cry
- putting wienie dog puppies into socks
- losing Scattergories to Gene every single game!
- riding the tea cups at Disneyland
- good times camping and girls weekends!
- Yummy homemade marshmallows
- watching goonies a thousand times
- just learned today - examining a dead gopher on a shovel after Cal shot it (because I wanted to see it, apparently)
- and so many more...just a few of the good ol' times with Auntie Ed.

Love you!
