15 Years Ago...

Thank you Sue for saving my readers from an “I’m too tired to write something coherent post.” Sue tagged me for a "meme" and here it is...

Think back on the last 15 years of your life. What would you tell someone that you hadn’t seen or talked to for 15 years? How would you sum up your life? You get 10 bullet points. A list of 10 things to summarize about you. At the end of your list, tag 5 more people and send on the love…


15 years ago I had just graduated from high school (did I just say that?) wow, now I feel old!

  1. I went to college for a few years right after high school but got busy working at a weekly newspaper and figured out what I wanted in a career – so I never graduated, I wish I had, maybe someday! As it is I’m a successful Graphic Designer.
  2. Remember that tall blond haired, can’t remember what color his eyes were guy I was dating? He ended up being a jerk and I broke up with him after two years and about three marriage proposals, that ended up being a good thing, enough said.
  3. I’ve been married for almost nine years to a great guy – you’d like him!
  4. I’ve lived in the same place since I got married, can you believe it? Miracles really do happen.
  5. Unfortunately my family lives 2500 miles away now – I only get to see them about once a year and I really miss them.
  6. My parents are healthy and doing well and so are all of my sisters – the girls are all in college now
  7. I know my birthmother now and we have a good relationship – she has become a really sweet lady and is married to a nice man.
  8. Last year we had a little girl – she’s 10 months old already and the biggest blessing we have!
  9. I started working for myself after Lil Sugar was born, my business is doing really well and I enjoy getting to stay home with her.
  10. I started blogging earlier this year since I didn’t have a “watercooler” to talk to co-workers around anymore and I’ve met a lot of great people and really enjoy blogging!

Ok, I’m supposed to tag 5 people so I pick

Great post. I always like getting more a glimpse into bloggers lives. Wow, that sounded kind of creepy, but I think you all know what I mean.

Hopefully everyone you tagged takes you up on the offer.

I've been tagged!

I wouldn't feel bad about it being 15 years since you graduated, my 20th high school reunion was in 2007.

As for the college thing, I went right out of high school, dropped out, went back later and got two degrees. If you can find a good program it is worth doing.

Blessed and Kristine...I guess I'm the old one around here. I'm currently in charge of planning our 25th reunion scheduled for next year.

Sounds like you've accomplished a lot and enjoy your life which is so important. It's hard being away from family.

It's amazing how much can happen in 15 years. :)
