I don't have a lot of time, so I am going to try something different today.
*This time last year we were finishing up at CU and packing to move to Las Vegas. I was still hoping Arizona would contact us with an acceptance letter.
*This time two years ago we were a couple months pregnant with Luke and I was working at the Family Housing Children's Center in Boulder. I had just found out that I was going to be a Resident Manager.
*This time three years ago Andy was working for the Utah Shakespearean Festival (USF) and I was finishing up my degree at SUU (Cedar City, Utah). We were planning our move to Boulder, Colorado.
*This time four years ago Andy was finishing his final semester at SUU. We were getting ready to go visit my sister in Texas and gearing up for our summer working for USF.
*This time five years ago I was finishing my first year at SUU and was pregnant with Anneke. We were living at Kensington apartments.
*This time six years ago Andy was completing his first year at SUU and had changed from theatre to English as a major. We were packing to move to Kensington apartments. Andy was working at FedEx and Walmart.
*This time seven years ago Marcus was a tiny baby and Andy was having many appointments in Logan to get ready for his jaw surgery. Jeff had just gotten home from his mission. We were living in the only house we have so far and loving it. Scott was our "room mate". We were in Ephraim and Andy was working at the grocery store in Manti.
*This time eight years ago we were newly weds and having many doctor appointments to figure out what was wrong with me. Popi and Doreen had just gotten married and I was jealous that Curt and Rachel Cox were pregnant. I was pregnant with Marcus and didn't know yet. Attending Snow College in Ephraim. I was cleaning the elementary school in Ephraim and Andy was building sets for the theater department about to start at Steven's Brothers.
*This time nine years ago I had finished my first year at Snow College and was dating a guy I wanted to marry. Carianne came to visit with David and Jodi. Both Cari and Jodi were pregnant. (They met James.) Andy had about 3 months left on his mission in Texas, Spanish speaking.
*This time ten years ago I was a senior in high school and ready to be done. I was attending institute at Snow and getting ready to attend the Summer college ward. I was watching the Breakwell children frequently and writing to 12 missionaries.
If I had known 10 years ago where I would be now, I wonder how much different my life would be. I wonder where I will be 10 years from now.

that was fun to read, Heidi. Maybe I'll do something like that :)
hey!! how fun to read this! Isn't it crazy to look back and see how much things change?
What a neat post - it is amazing to look back on life at all of the blessings and trials and what has made you who you are. I love you!
your husband served in texas? how cool! where?
Andy served in the McAllen Texas mission. It is basically from Laredo over to Corpus. I find it fascinating that it was (maybe still is) the only bilingual mission. If you knew English you had to learn Spanish, if you knew Spanish, you had to learn English. Sorry, TMI. It was fun on our "honeymoon" he showed me his Texas and I showed him mine.
Yeah, mine was dusty and dry and ugly. Hers was pretty. It really emphasized how much Texas isn't so much a single experience so much as a multitude of places unified by a very over-developed sense of pride (I'm gonna go hide behind the couch now as y'all prove my point).
