20 Years Ago...[Thanks...several of you :)]

:20 years ago:

20 years ago: 1988- This is a well known story amongst my family: I was 4 years old and living in Sheridan, Montana. My mom would lay down with us for naptime and she'd fall asleep. We would sneak out and go to the store across the street where they had "Need a penny? Take one" cups and we'd take those and buy penny candies. I remember army crawling/sneaking to get them. I blame my older siblings...they are bad examples :) (just kidding guys!)



We also had a dog we named Jungle Bear that I would go exploring with. I remember crossing paths with a snake one time and Jungle Bear was barking to warn me. He let me get on his back and he carried me away. He was my protector.



I also remember there was a stream that pooled by the fence next to our house in Sheridan that some kind of greenery would grow on top of. I wanted to get across and I thought if I stepped on the greenery it would hold me up but I was wrong. I stepped in and almost fell in. Luckily the fence was there for me to hold on to.

10 years ago: 1998-I was a freshman and still pretty innocent. Most of you know that the outdoor sports are very important to me and I love & miss having mountains. I loved going rapelling with my parents and teaching friends & scouts. I was probably a freshman when I went "aussie style" for the first time (head first). *see photo above of my sister Brenda and me


I had 2 "boyfriends" that only lasted about a week. The first: we both mutually decided that we'd rather be friends and the second: asked me to go out with him...I am not good at saying no so I said yes. I tried to avoid him wherever I was and then when he called I told him that my Dad wouldn't let me have a boyfriend-lame excuse even though I did know that he wouldn't want me to have one.

I tried out and qualified to make Chamber Choir & had higher scores than most of the upperclassmen (along with my friend Jamie Kern) but our choir teacher told us she had decided not to put us in until the next year because she didn't want to have to kick out the older kids. The next year a freshman or two got in and we were mad. There was more room after all the seniors from the previous year had left.

5 years ago: 2003-I had just graduated from Myotherapy College of Utah. I consider it the one thing I am actually very good at and I accept that. I have a lot of talents that I'm pretty good at or I may not be very good at but enjoy. Massage is my one pure talent. I also had family that had cancer- I shaved my hair and donated it to locks of love in their honor.

1 year ago: 2007- Just after Baer was born we went to Montana to show him off to the grandparents and so Spencer could go on his annual father-son motorcycle trip. I was there for over a month. Everyday life, I was pretty much doing what I am now...staying at home with the boys and trying to keep up with motherhood responsibilites. James was 2 and Baer was a little over a month old.

1 month ago: Beginning of August 2008-I was on my girl's trip-which I still need to post pictures of. My mom shared some great journal entries from when she was our age and going through motherhood. It was really cool. We also threw a bridal shower for my newest sister-in-law Mindy.

1 week ago: End of August 2008- My mother-in-law was here and was helping me organize my basement.

1 day ago: September 2nd, 2008- I got my hair cut and it turned out shorter than I wanted it to be. I think I look like a mushroom!! I also gave a friend of mine a massage.
