Tagged Past, Present, and Future

20 years ago—1988
I turned 10 this year and was in fourth grade at Cottonwood Heights Elementary. By this time I had met a girl, Sonnett, who would become one of my best and longest friends ever. However, she and I didn’t really hang out much—yet.

10 years ago—1998
I turned 20, and was in my first year of marriage. I saw Titanic five times in the movie theaters. I went skiing for the very first time. I bought my condo and moved into the Aspen 9th ward.

5 Years ago—2003
Two huge life changing events happened this year. I had my second child and my father died. Has it really been five years!

3 Years ago—2005

I became friends with the other best friend I have ever had, Sabine. This is also the year I started letting people read my writing, and seriously started perusing writing.

1 Year ago—2007
I had my first baby boy! I took an intensive writing workshop from Orson Scott Card. My husband started Doctoral School and radiation treatment for cancer.

So far this year—2008
I have successfully lost 10 pounds. I have prepared my book to submit to publishers. I have weeded my flowerbeds. In August I will turn 30.

Yesterday I
Celebrated my sons first birthday, bought new jeans (because I’ve lost some weight) ate Magelby’s chocolate cake. Stayed up late cleaning

Today I
Got my daughter to school on time. Stared at the computer. Changed a diaper and folded socks (wow that sounds so productive!)

I tag SABINE and anyone else that wants to do this.

I did it, but have never tagged anyone before so it is generic. What can I say I am a loser!
