I love lists!

What were you doing 10 years ago?

Ten years ago . . . 1998 . . . I think we lived in San Angelo – no wait – I remember!!! I was super pregnant (how could I forget that!?!?!?) and we had just moved from Utah to Texas. We stayed with my Mom for a while and then moved into an apartment – only to move to San Angelo a short while later. (Talk about a lot of moving!) I think we quit unpacking after awhile. 13 moves in our first 9 years made us a little weary! K-bugs was 2 and so adorable with her little pig tails! I was teaching piano lessons and Bob was working for GTE which later morphed into Verizon.

Where were you 5 years ago?

2003 – Ummm – gosh I’m bad with dates. Let’s see . . . we had lived in our home for 1 year and were remodeling like crazy. (It was still novel and fun then! Hahaha!) That means TJ was 2. I was doing daycare in our home from 7am till 9pm some nights! (Sounds fun right? :o) I know! I know!) K was finishing up Kindergarten and B picked Maggie out from the shelter to be our new dog. What a great job he did!!! Way to go buddy!

5 months ago?

Celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary! Hubba hubba! (every year gets even better!), teaching school, taking my last exam for certification (hooray!), watching B sell his homemade cake at the Scout auction for $60!!!! (way to go Buddy!!!), running the kids around, losing sleep and loving the craziness of our life!
