This weekend I started a long overdue project. A project as old as Brodie. My mom had bought a video hardware that allowed you to plug a VCR into your Mac that would then allow you to import video tapes in order to transfer them on to DVD. Sounds easy enough right. So I told my mom I would gladly do it for her if she would help me get my dream dog. (Yes Brodie). So finally two years later I’m paying my debt. Well on my now five year old iMac, the job is quite time consuming. But let me tell you the rewards have been great. Not only has Cale gotten to see many many hours of my childhood (did I mention there was a box full of tapes?? no not shoebox. A BOX. We’re talking around forty. You do the math). But I found something I have been looking for for over a year. Something so near and dear to my heart that I literally jumped for joy.
The last time I saw them…
The night of my bachelorette party hosted by Morgan was the last time I wore them. Now I know what you’re thinking, but I did walk away from the party in them. The next day though, I moved from Fresno to Sunol, and there my friends is where things got crazy. That evening while I was with my girls for the last time, Cale was loading my uHaul and packing up the rest of my stuff. Now in hindsight I completely understand how my shoes ended up in that box. It was one of the last boxes packed and probably the only one with room left. Once I got back from the honeymoon and settled in, I searched the house high and low for them and could not find them. I assumed they had gotten lost at my mom’s in all the wedding madness. But nope. Had I only gone through my end of the bargain I would have found my shoes much sooner.
Moral of the story.. Don’t procrastinate for a year!
We have a winner for our contest, but you will have to wait until tomorrow to find out! Also another bonus to burning home videos to DVD… easy blog content. Expect many cute Stephie and Cay Cay videos to come.

Isn’t it cool when you find stuff like that. Yay!
Cute shoes! This gives me hope that in a year I might find all my favorite things that went missing in the move. An entire box of framed photos has gone missing! I blame everything on the movers in then find the missing box later. Except for the photos. Where are my pictures??
Yay! I’m glad you found them… although I didn’t know you had lost them in the first place…. but those are the cutest shoes ever and it must’ve been a very terrible year without them.
Ahhh I almost had the exact same thing happen. Except I lost ONE shoe…still don’t know where it is, but I keep the other just in case
This is such a neat story! I love that you found them a year later! Crazy! And those shoes are adorable!! I love them! They look so cute with your dress in that picture!!! The dress is super cool too!
those shoes are SO cute!!! and the dress too! what great fashion sense you have! i will steal your clothes.
thats so cool that you found them…now how much do you charge to transfer video tapes to dvd, i too have a big ol box full of tapes and my kids are just 5 & 2!! i’m in trouble.
ugh, I’m such a procrastinator. Ellen has a hilarious stand-up routine about procrastinating. Also. your dress is adorable!
Wow those shoes are super cute! I love finding stuff after a long time it’s like buying them all over again-but for free!
Jimaie,
Oh my goodness you have no idea what a pain this process is going to be. I tended to my computer all weekend. And I got THREE done. THREE. Out of .5 billion. I am going to be working on this until Brodie is long gone I think. lol.
