The Top Drawer

I thought it would be fun to share the story of my High School senior picture photo shoot. It's a great story involving a sunburn, a small car accident a lot of drama, and one sweet perm. Telling the story, however, would require a visual (i.e. my senior picture.)

I sifted through the top drawer of my nightstand in search of my senior picture because this is where I keep all my random things that I don't really know what else to do with.

I didn't find my senior picture, but I did find lots of other things.
