I was 10 years old probably in the 5th grade. I'm sure I spent most of my time being as silly and goofy as I could be with Kim. Playing volleyball, rollerblade basketball and laying around outside. Oddly enough Loren had come to my house with my cousin to drop something off. I wasn't home and we had never met. We might have had quite a different future :)
10 Years ago...I was in my 4th year of college and Loren and I were planning our wedding and had just purchased our first home.
5 Years ago...I had a 4 month old baby Katie and life was completely different (and fantastic) than I ever imagined.
3 Years ago...We had a 2 year old little Katie and a 5 month old little Sammy. We had just moved into our current house and we were figuring out life with a new house and two kids!
1 Year ago...Enjoying Loren working from home and had just turned down a job in Arizona. Katie was ready to begin her second year of preschool 4 days a week. Sammy was enjoying the thought of time alone with Mommy :)
Today...Enjoying the company of my Mom who drove over from Seattle to teach me how to can peaches. Very fun, thanks Mom!! Went swimming in the rain at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Today I am thankful for my kids who apologized to each other when they were not kind and decided that they love each other and worked together happily :) I know it won't last so I'll enjoy it today!
Tomorrow...Go to church and do some work, maybe go swimming and/or a bike ride??
Next Year...Who knows?? God has been showing me this summer that I can plan my days all I want,
but He is the One who owns my time, not me :)
