Thanks, Corey! This one really got me thinking. I have such a bad memory (one of the effects of not having a brain anymore) that it's hard for me to remember what I did yesterday, let alone twenty years ago! But here goes....
20 years ago I...
1. was 16 years old.
2. was in love with Theodore Selden, who I thought I was going to marry.
3. went to Garfield Highschool in Seattle's Central District.
4. was too afraid to try out for the tennis team because I didn't want to have to stay after school in the Central District (too much gang activity!)
10 years ago I...
1. was not married to Theodore, but had been happily married to Brad for five years and we had two kids.
2. lived in Palatine, IL.
3. went on one of my favorite vacations ever, a driving/camping trip around Lake Michigan.
4. bought property on Bainbridge Island.
5 years ago I...
1. celebrated my fourth child, Ben's first birthday.
2. rented an RV and went on a camping trip around Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier.
3. had Brad's brother, Patrick's wedding in my front yard.
4. was a Cubscout Den-mother.
1 year ago I...
1. went to my youngest sister, Tifanie's wedding.
2. went to Brad's sister, Ashley's wedding.
3. went to Brad's grandma's 90th birthday party and his cousin's wedding in Denver.
So far this year I...
1. celebrated my 15th wedding anniversary.
2. took Kylie to Utah for General Conference, both of our first time going.
3. said goodbye to one of my best friends who moved to California.
4. made it to chapter 10 of a novel I am writing (very rough draft!)
Yesterday I...
1. drove Nathan to the church at 5:30 am to meet the carpool to Tacoma for the Dance Festival.
2. then came home and went back to bed!
3. picked up Ben's friend to come over to play.
4. took Kylie and Jillian to piano lessons, then took Ben's friend home, then drove around picking up craft donations for Girl's Camp.
5. Used ALOT of gas!
Today I...
1. drove Kylie to the church at 5:15 am to meet above carpool.
2. went to Silverdale to buy the rest of the supplies I'll need at Girl's Camp next week (I'm going to be the craft lady).
3. went to an outdoor pool in Poulsbo with my friend Marcy and her two kids.
Tomorrow I...
1. will drive to Tacoma to watch the much anticipated Dance Festival that Kylie, Nathan and over 2,500 other youth in the Western Washington area are performing.
2. will go out to dinner after the Dance Festival with my grandpa, mom and dad to celebrate grandpa's birthday (78th?).
If any of you can remember what you've been up to the last 20 years, TAG, you're it!
Thanks for playing! Isn't it funny to reflect back on life and see what we thought was soooooo important at the time really wasn't. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteHave fun being the "Craft Lady" at Girl's Camp, I'd love to hear all about it!
Good luck to the kids at the Dance Festival! Mom said they are selling DVDs. Be sure to pick one up so I can see it since we aren't able to go.
Loved reading about your past 20 years! Like I wrote to Corey I wouldn't be able to play as I hardly remember anything! Daddy remembers EVERYTHING and always thinks I should be able to also! Maybe its because being a Mom we have so many things on our minds all the time our brains get worn out sooner. :)
