20 Years Ago Until Today

20 years ago- 1998

1. I was 14 years old.
2. It was my freshman year at Jefferson. Go J-Hawks!
3. My family FINALLY got cable TV. I spent the whole first day watching Court TV. Apparently I've always loved True Crime stuff.

10 years ago- 2008

1. I was newly engaged.
2. I still lived in Iowa and was going on my 5th year working in the infant room and as the assistant director at 5 Seasons Learning Centers.
3. I was driving a total of 9 hours every other weekend to Illinois and back.

5 years ago- 2013

1. I was working part time at the YMCA
2. We traveled to Minnesota for the first time to visit Rachel and Micah. That was the furthest we had traveled with Daniel before.
3. Daniel had is first trip to the ER because his momma had a "mom fail"! He was okay though!

3 years ago- 2015

1. Daniel was the ring bearer in a wedding, and was the cutest little kiddo in a tux.
2. In June of 2015 my grandma had a massive stroke, and we weren't sure she was going to make it.
3. James could walk with the assistance of a walker or something to hold onto.

1 year ago- 2017

1. The nightmare trip to St. Louis for Kendra's marathon. Daniel was sick and at home puking. Kendra had a horrible race. Mom fell into a pothole and needed stitches, and I passed out in the hotel and hit my head on the wall!
2. Daniel started kindergarten.
3. Jacob and Daniel were in a car accident and our van was totaled, which resulted in lots of car shopping!

So far this year- 2018

1. I got to see a lot of family at the beginning of the year. It was an unfortunate circumstance because we lost my grandma very unexpectedly, but it brought many of us together. 
2. We got to do family pictures in a sunflower field, which was exciting for me because sunflowers are my favorite!
3. I have hit my highest weight, since then have lost 29lbs and counting!

Yesterday

1. Took the boys to the dentist.
2. I was giddy with excitement because it was snowing and sticking!
3. Went to a marriage enrichment seminar at church, and laughed so hard all night!

Today

1. Spent an hour working out the the Y. 30 minutes rowing. 30 minutes biking. And a one hour true crime podcast.
2. Had to go to Wal-Mart. Ended up buying a super cute Christmas table runner because the spirit has hit.
3. Watched the rest of the Hawkeye football season circle the drain.

Tomorrow

1. I will spend the whole morning and most of the evening at church.
2. I'll do the mountain of laundry in the boys' basket, then forget to fold it until I'm ready to go to bed.
3. Hopefully relax and watch Netflix for a couple of hours in the afternoon.

In the next year

1. Fly to California with the boys and my family for my sister Erica's wedding to Chris.  
2. I will get to see my other sister, Kendra get married to her James. :)
3. I'll be hoping and wishing that one of my sisters will make me an aunt. LOL! (But really!)
