What were you doing 10 years ago?

Ten years ago I was working for the dollar movie theater in my hometown a few hours each week (mostly for the benefit of getting my family and me in free) and selling Fairfax vacuums hoping I would strike it rich being a salesperson (which sales is very much not my forte). I was in my second term at college with no idea what I wanted to major in. But I had a great time dating. That was the college term where I had my month of 30 dates. I was also preparing for the local scholarship pageant. And I was getting ready to send off a missionary to Brazil. Dear John . . . hehe.

What were you doing one year ago?

One year ago I was about 2 ½ months pregnant with Bun and sooo sick. I took a trip to my hometown and stayed with my parents with my little ones, Pookie and G. I had a good time stocking up on fabric and food storage, visiting family, and avoiding The Frozen North’s negative temperatures. Pookie and G loved visiting their Grandparents, Great-grandparents and all their cousins and aunts and uncles.
