Making Moments Memories

Notes From Dad

Now that summer has passed, it is time to capture the beauty of nature and all the happiness that is ahead of you both. This time of year has so much to offer from the beautiful foliage to the breathtaking winter wonderland of nature. So how should couples embrace the next several months and turn them into memorable memories; this article will offer some suggestions and ideas that could possibly make a memory last a lifetime.

First, what is a memory? A memory is something that occurred in the past; it is a part of your brain that allows you both to gather and remember past information which can be everlasting. There are ways to make memories; first, as you and your partner begin your relationship, may I suggest, a journal or diary. In this journal you may want to document the special moments, ( i.e. first kiss, first date, favorite song etc.). What many couples have done in their journal is to also use illustrations that describe emotions and their happiness. What is important when entering such information is to date the entry and have your partner also sign it, by doing this you both have ownership of these wonderful moments and memories.

Second, with today’s technology, mostly everyone has some sort of smartphone. Having a smartphone takes away the need for a camera; with your phone you can take pictures and videos, then edit them to capture the true meaning of the moment.

Finally, one of the nicest ways to make a memorable memory is a scrapbook. The main idea here is for the two of you to sit down together and put together photos that will bring happiness and joy to you both when you look back years later. The nice advantage of a scrap book is it brings the two of you together and forms a partnership.

Couples that make memories are really capturing life’s moments as they happen, so make memories often and develop some type of theme that will bring not only happiness to the both of you but to others as well.

Good Luck !!
