What were you doing ten years ago?
I was 20, dating a boy 13 years older than me, working at Galaxy Diner, fighting with my roommates Melanie and Meri, trying not to flunk outta BYU, getting a second tattoo, getting over Mark, hanging with Cindy and her green Mazda, thinking I knew SO MUCH about the world. Wow.... all part of the journey to who I am now. I wouldn't trade it.

Where will you be in ten years?
In a farmhouse on at least 10 acres of beautiful green farmland in Missouri... lovingly refurbishing our home a bit at a time, between 3-5 kids, all perfectly mischievious and brilliant, spending time on our porch with our friends and family, having time to really enjoy each other because we don't watch too much t.v., play too many video games, or waste too much time on the computer... I'll be 40, contemplating writing a book or going back to recertify as an art teacher... Joe will be 38, happily finished with all his advanced schooling and working in the job of his dreams. We'll have the bunkhouse finished in the barn, so y'all are invited to come spend a week with us, wading in our creek, fishing in our pond, or just sitting on the porch with us, enjoying the fireflies as the summer nights draw to a close.
Ahhhh......
