Many Februarys Past

10 Years Ago I was…

• A sophomore in college
• An education major
• Dating a great guy (and a few on the side – not one of my proudest actions)
• Probably drunk
• A smoker
• Not eating

9 Years Ago I was…

• A junior in college
• Home for the semester, taking classes at the local community college
• Was just about to start dating a truly great guy (now known as my husband)
• Possibly drunk, but not even close to as often as before
• An ex-smoker
• Almost at a healthy weight
• The happiest I had been in many years

5 Years Ago I was…

• In my second year of graduate school
• Engaged
• Working full time
• Even happier than I was at 9 years ago

2 Years Ago I was…

• In Florida on vacation
• Probably Drunk (mmm….Mojitos)
• Still exceedingly happy

1 Year Ago I was…

• Hugely pregnant (with three months yet to go), but also
• Completely blissed-out; just a totally happy momma-to-be

Today I am

• A wife (going on 5 years now)
• A mom
• Satisfied
• Happier still than any of those times past.

Life hasn’t always been easy, but it does just keep getting better.

This post is part of Flashback Friday. Go see who else is playing along here!

Memory Lane

There are so many great stories I have that happened before I had this website. Stories that would be a lot of fun to share, and that should probably be recorded before I lose the memories to old age or (more likely) sleep deprivation. I thought about this a while ago, but then promptly forgot again (see again: sleep deprivation), so it is a good thing that Anne at My Tiny Kingdom reminded me again.

She has started Flashback Friday , and I've decided to participate. I figure this will help get some of those stories recorded and also get my creative juices flowing again, as they've been lacking a little bit lately. The first post will be this Friday, with the theme: Feeling Red, White, and Blue. Should be fun!
