I'm finally getting the boxes of paper and pictures that is my 70+ years of living on this planet into scrapbooks...it took a pandemic to finally get me started..ha!
I've gotten the baby book finished that my mother started back when I was born but never completed..that was fun.
I did my work life book and that was eye opening and strangely satisfying since I went against all things mormon women are supposed to do and held down a job of some kind for most of my adult life.
Now I am working on the school days scrapbook and already I know it is going to be fun to recall those years and friends and accomplishments.
But..in the process of sorting, I have a box full of primary, MIA and adult church stuff. One part of me wants to chuck it all in the garbage. I was fairly devout at one time and have written in journals about "spiritual experiences" I had. A huge part of my young adult life revolved around my one serious boyfriend and waiting for him while he went on a mission after we got engaged. This all came into play 22 years later after we married and had 4 kids and then he came out as a gay man. So, it's part of my larger story.
Anyone had this situation? Scrapbook it or not?
