20 Year TAG

Thanks to Mary Beth I am responsible for revealing the following:

20 YEARS AGO (Yr 1988)...

I was a sophomore in High School. I turned 16 and could "officially" date. I traveled to Idaho to visit my sister, Delia. We went snow skiing at Brighton Mtn, UT. My best friend was Wanda Kinsey. I was dating John Bowen, Troy Hoard and a guy named Scott Barton, not simultaneously.

10 YEARS AGO (Yr 1998)...

I was living in Sumter, SC. I was a mother of four. I can't remember exactly which one, but I had one of the following callings: YW Counselor, RS Homemaking Leader, or Primary President. We went to the Shaw AFB Branch. (It was very small, so we had multiple callings at times...life was exhausting!) I also loved to collect Pokemon cards. Yes, you heard it right. I (me, not my children) was totally into Pokemon.

5 YEARS AGO (Yr 2003)...

I was a mother of five. I was living in West Columbia, SC. I was helping my father run his little convenience store. I became fixated on gardening. I loved being outside with plants (still do). I enjoyed landscaping my yard and picking vegetables out of my garden. There is nothing like a fresh cucumber eaten right off the vine. Yumm! I believe I was Enrichment Leader at this time.

1 YEAR AGO (Yr 2007)...

I got my hair cut short-short for the first time. (My hubby LOVES it!, BTW) I moved to Las Vegas. I got a job working at Payless. I was immediately called to be the Teacher Coordinator in Primary. I got to see my all time favorite show The Phantom. (Thanks, babe!)

SO FAR THIS YEAR (Yr 2008)...

I became the Assistant Manager at Payless. My oldest child graduated from High School. I restarted college. I'm aiming to get a BS in Dental Hygiene. I'm the RS Education Counselor at church.

YESTERDAY...

I went to work. I broke down in tears to my husband explaining that I miss my mother. I celebrated the 4th of July with Gabriel and Noah by watching the movies My Mom's New Boyfriend and Fool's Gold. (My husband was chauffering, Frankie was in St. George, Brandon was out, and Kela was uninterested.)

TODAY...

I cleaned my refrigerator (much needed). I went to work. I took Frankie out for lunch (Salad Creations). I prepared RS challenges to coincide with the Family Proclamation to hand out at church tomorrow.

TOMORROW...

I will go to church. I will participate in Family Home Evening. I will spend time with my husband (my favorite pastime).

IN THE NEXT YEAR...

I will send my oldest son off to college and my youngest to Kindergarten. I will continue working and going to school. I'm hoping to get more organized. At least, my husband hopes so. :0)

Drum roll...Now, I tag Mary, Tara, Sallie, and Carla.
