to create a series of albums/layouts of myself and my husband. I said in my post yesterday that I had a list of projects that I'd be working on all of next week and this is one of them. Over the last few days I've been compiling a list of questions and have created a sort of "self" interview my for myself and my husband. I really, really want our kids to know about us: our likes and dislikes, our thoughts and feelings, what we're passionate about, and just absolute random things about us that they may not learn growing up with us.
This project is something that yes, I'm doing for Terrance and the children that we'll have later, but also for myself. More and more I'm realizing that there are "important" things in my life that I won't remember 5 years from now. I need to document them. I'm also wanting to find a part of myself that I lost a few years ago. When I was in high school I was an avid writer and kept a very up to date journal, but when my husband was deployed I stopped writing. I, for some reason, lost that part of myself and I need to get it back. I used to be able to just sit down and write for hours, but anymore it feels very forced and so I don't do it. I'm hoping that this intiial questionaire will spark something inside of me and help to just write. I'm also hoping that this project will turn into a new sort of journal for me.
So, if you would like to join me in this, here are the questions that I've compiled:
p.s. Feel free to add and omit questions wherever. This is YOUR interview so make it reflect the stories and thoughts that you want to tell. And if you have any other really great questions, please post them here for me.
