I cleaned out my closet when I moved back to my parent’s house for the summer. Most of the stuff in the closet was from my childhood. When I was a kid I stuffed it so full of stuff that when I grew up it was just too much to go through. I had been putting it off and putting it off for a long time, but then I decided since I was moving a bunch of stuff anyway to sort through it. I found a lot of old photos and writings so I decided to scan them and put them here. There’s a lot I didn’t find that I would have liked to and also a lot I didn’t scan. That being said, here are a few that I selected. Feel free to click any of the images for the full resolution.

I don’t know the year, but this is when I got my highest score bowling: 215.
This was from my 3rd grade teacher when I was sick.
The following were taken out of my old journals. Even as a kid I was an avid journal-keeper. I tried to write every day.
Today I went back to school and wrote some more books. Underneath is a picture of my elementary school. The name of the school is spelled wrong, though.
Today I got streped throut (strep throat).
3/1/98. Today mom went to work and I miss her.
These last two were from middle school. I’m amazed at how creative I used to be. My best friend at the time, Zach Bonstrum and I made our own written language and filled a notebook full of notes about it. We called it Zerx, and I can’t read any of it anymore. But it sure is interesting to flip through an old notebook of mine and not be able to understand any of it.
