Excitement of Pictures

This past December I picked up the hobby of scrapbooking! I love it! I've always liked pictures and kept lots of photo albums during undergrad. I didn't have as much time as I would have liked this past semester to get caught up on my album but I sure did this past week! I flew through some of the pages making around 20 pages this week! Crazy I know! The other night I was ordering more photos to make some more recent pages and I was reminded of the the excitement of getting pictures. Back before digital cameras, having to wait for pictures to be developed was torturous at times. After big events, I remember going as soon as possible to the drug store and ordering the one hour. When I was leaving the store the other night I was opening to look at the photos before even leaving the store and had that strong feeling of anticipation. Then I realized I knew exactly what every picture looked like. While I definitely like being able to know when a picture was bad and we need to retake it part of me misses the excitement and mystery of seeing what your pictures look like. Once I finish up this album, I will start working on an engagement album!
