My Life In Toy Story Movies



When Toy Story came out in 1995 I couldn't wait to see it! I was a newlywed, happy and in love with my husband, Travis, and we went to see it at the theater. Yeah that's right!

Often times they don't know or even care that you are hurt. Forgiveness is for us, and sometimes we have to do it by faith.
