I've Been Tagged

20 Years Ago I was....
9 years old. I was going into 4th grade (I think). We were living in California and had recently bought a boat. We spent the summer on the water and I loved to waterski. I had a funky glasses, buck teeth, and was kinda funny looking.

10 Years Ago I was....
19. I was at George Fox, enduring day long volleyball practices. I was the only sophomore on the team that year and we ended up going to Nationals, so all of those practices were worth it. Colleen would be going to George Fox that year, and it was lots of fun to have my sister at college. We were given the nicknames 4biss and 3biss. I was living on Hob 3 with Marisa and I had a bed that everyone thought I had brought from home because it didn't pull out.


5 Years Ago I was....
Planning my wedding. Forrest had proposed a month ago and Michelle, my mom and I had just returned from Salt Lake City where we bought my wedding dress. I had just started coaching volleyball at Jackson Hole Middle School, but did not have a full time job yet. Forrest was still living at my parents house because school didn't start until the end of September.

3 Years ago I was....
26. We had been living in Seattle for 6 months and I was working at Catholic Community Services as a Family Therapist. We had an apartment in Renton and were enjoying having two incomes - something completely new to us!

So Far this year I...
lost my dad, had a baby, and fell more deeply in love with my husband. I have enjoyed watching my sweet Ephraim grow and develop more of a personality. I have grown closer to my family, as we mourn together and appreciate our time with each other. I have realized what it really means to be a kindred spirit and am incredibly thankful for those in my life.

Yesterday I...
went to a family picnic and drove home from Oregon.

Tomorrow I will...
catch up on household chores and try to get my baby back on a Pacific Time Zone schedule.

Next year I will...
turn 30...yikes! Maybe I will... train for a triathalon, organize my house, try for another baby, buy a new car. I will definitely try to enjoy life, my family, and my friends.

I tag Colleen, Michelle, Kat, Laura, Lyndsey, and Andrea
