Photo Challenge Day 5

Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory

This has been the hardest one of these posts so far.  The only one that's really been "challenging."  It made me realize just how truly blessed I am.  I have a whole life full of wonderful memories...very few bad ones along the way.  I probably have had more joy in my 24 years than some people who've lived twice or three times as long.  With that said, I undoubtedly struggled with what memory to choose....
