I loved this blog from http://jenmeredithfamily.blogspot.com/. for the first time I loved a tag that I would want to go into my blurb book. I like to only blog things that I really want in my journal so it is takes less time to go thru when I blurb again!!! I had so much fun reading Jen's and I would love to read yours. I really had to do some thinking on some of these!!!
I added one more category just for the heck of it.
15 years ago-sept. 18, 1993 Steve and I had been married for 7 months. We were both students in East Tennessee. We lived in a tiny one bedroom apt. We both worked 20 hours a week. I worked at a little day care and he worked at Sears!
10 years ago-Sept. 18, 1998. I was in the hospital with our new baby girl. We had her for one whole day. I was looking her over and so excited to have my first daughter! We had just purchased our first van and I was so happy to be 24 and a mommy of three. Blake was 3 andrew 2 and our new sweet little leah beth was finally with us!
5 years ago Sept. 18, 2003. We had just sold our first home. I was so sentimental leaving it because we had worked so hard to get it. We were going into a rental home and I was not excited about the temporary fix. It was actually a really hard time for me. Caroline had just turned 2 and we were packing and getting ready to close on the house!
5 months ago April 18, 2008-I had to look back on my calendar to remember this! It is funny it is easier to remember 15 years ago than 5 months ago!!!
I had 3 mother's day picture appts from a mother's day special I was running. The kids were ending t-cap testing and I was looking forward to a fun friday!!!
5 hours ago-I was just getting out of my last class. I was exhausted. My brain hurt...I picked up the kiddos at school and got ready for afternoon activities!
5 minutes ago. I started this blog...trying to recap the last 15 years!
5 things I did today...read with Caroline, drove the kids to school, took a test at 8:00 AM, called my hubbie, walked all over campus trying to remember where the library was!
5 things I'll do tomorrow...2 loads of laundry, study, 1 picture shoot of a 6 month old, play with my kids on the playground when we take B. to work, cook dinner
5 things I want to tell my husband...to not forget to pick up blake tonight at work, that I love him, thank you for working so hard for all of us, not to wake my up if he gets home from work too late! and last that we need to plan a date night because I am missing him!

cute, i could never remember this stuff.
I love this blog Gretchen. I can't believe you can remember all of that. Your family is just beautiful.
Glad you liked it. It's fun to remember the past and see how far we've come, huh?
I may have to do this, too.
Those are great memories. Makes time go real fast. I can't believe it was five years ago you were moving into your rental.
