I saw this on Kim's blog and thought "what the hell."
20 years ago I...
1. was in second grade. Moving from Int'l Falls to Mankato for my dad to go back to school to get his Master's and my mom to get a Computer Science degree...I still can't believe they moved an eighth grader, a sixth grader and a second grader across the state to live in a two-bedroom apartment while COMPLETELY BROKE. So brave.
2. was watching the Twins win the '87 World Series with my daddy. I remember it like it was yesterday.
3. was listening to the New Kids on the Block and making up choreographed dances with the Ciminski Twins and my sisters.
10 years ago I...
1. was lifeguarding at City Beach in the summer.
2. was a stupid 17-year-old doing stupid things that I shoudn't mention on a blog that my mom and my aunts read.
3. was just starting to hang out with Linz...my very best girlie.
5 years ago I...
1. was working for Lutheran Social Services in a job that part of me still wishes I never gave up.
2. had been dating Ski for a few months (funny how similar this is to Kim's).
3. was finally starting to grow up from my "bar days" where my friend Melissa and I were total band groupies.
3 years ago I...
1. was buying our current house with Ski out of wedlock.
2. was job searching and doing sub-contracting on the side 40 hours a week in attempt to get out of my previous job where I was pretty unhappy.
3. was going to New Orleans for a carefree, childless vacation with Ski (one of my favorite trips of all time).
1 year ago I...
1. had just gotten back from vacation at Hilton Head and thought I was pregnant (I wasn't).
2. was obsessing about getting pregnant and worrying that I wouldn't be able to get pregnant.
3. was working in my garden in the evenings (which I really miss).
So far this year I...
1. have obsessed about giving birth.
2. gave birth (well not really because I had a c-section, so I should say "I got a baby cut out of my abdomen").
3. have spent time getting to know my daughter and learning how to be a mom.
Yesterday I...
1. drove to Mankato for a day of shopping with my sister Annie and her son Griffin.
2. spent a whole bunch of money that we don't have as I am currently not getting paid.
3. got up four times in the middle of the night with Renee.
Today I...
1. drove home from Mankato after a day of shopping with my sister Annie and her son Griffin.
2. heard an old friend "Amy" on the radio in the cities...she apparently is now "Amy James" on K102 in the cities. Weird.
3. ate a big fat Filet Mignon that my grill master husband grilled and drank a glass of Cab with Ski.
Tomorrow I...
1. will entertain the baby while Ski drafts his MAFFA Fantasy Football team.
2. will hopefully get some laundry done and my crap organized.
3. will hopefully edit and order Renee's first month pictures as we're now almost to the end of her second month and I still haven't gotten the first month done.
In the next year I...
1. will get to know my new nieces and watch them grow up with their brothers and cousins.
2. will learn how to send my baby to daycare and how to be away from her (I've only been away from her once since she was born).
3. will go to Wine Country with Ski to celebrate our third anniversary (preferrably without baby).
Some pictures from our visit with Griffin and Annie. It's so much fun to me to watch her get to know her family.
