Memories

After graduating from JMU in December 2003, I realized that with my whole college experience now behind me, that I learned a lot, realized that there is much still to be learned, and that I now have a lot more experience in life.  Seriously, four and a half years of my life were spent doing the whole college thing, from August 1999 to December 2003.  That's a good chunk of a person's life at that age.  But the memories we make from those years last a lifetime.  In this photo set, I present to you a retrospective of all four and a half years, to the lyrics of "You Make My Memories", written by Clive VanderBurgh and sung by Jeff Hyslop as the final song on Today's Special's final episode, "Memories".  Listen here (MP3 format).  Some images are repeated from previous photo sets, and others are new.  Sit back, and relax, as we share the memories...

Without ever leaving I've been everywhere...
I've been to those lands ‘cause you've taken me there...

I travel the world, go wherever I please...
‘Cause you, you make my memories.

And when we decide that we'll travel no more...
We always find something to do in the store...

We act our own stories...

...and sing melodies...

Yes, you, you make my memories.

And so many interesting people come by...

And join us in all of our play...

With so many good times, you'll understand why...

I wouldn't have missed any day!

I picture your faces and here's what I see...

A lifetime of moments you've made just for me.

The things I remember, you've given me these...

Yes, you, you make my memories...

It's true, you make my memories.

The tales that you tell with the greatest of ease...

One hundred and one things to do with blue cheese...

Your life of adventure...

...on all seven seas...

Your voice just as soft as a cool evening breeze...

Yes, you, you make my memories...

It's true, you make my memories.
