Since it is 1/1/11, I have been thinking about what my life looked like 10 years ago. I was a poor college student living at home driving a very used Ford Aerostar minivan. I was working at a scrapbook store, which was really fun at the time. In college, I was a pre-nursing major. I was all of 19 years old...9/11 had not happened yet. I had never tried Starbucks (or anything else), had a serious relationship, and the world I thought would be and life I thought would be were mere daydreams.
Today, I drive a 2010 Toyota Camry. I am living in a house with 2 other fantastic girls. I don't have a ton of money, but I have enough ;) I work at a High School teaching choir, which is still fun...Contemplating starting my Master's. You can do the math on my age...I have a beautiful niece, and will have a handsome nephew in May. My brother has served 3 tours to Iraq. Friends have moved, married, had their 3rd and 4th babies, new friends have entered the circle. The world has changed, and my life has taken a different direction than I thought it would.
A lot changes in 10 years. These are just a few things that stick out. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who continues to bless me, more than I could ever imagine. And though I don't have everything I want, I do have everything I need. I have been given much in these last 10 years. Many friends, many memories, many life lessons, many spiritual experiences.
Here's to the next 10!
