10 years

July 3, 2009 · 1 Comment

in the past 10 years I’ve:

  • graduated high school, college, and grad school
  • become an Aunt
  • been a bridesmaid 8 times (the number doesn’t sound like much, but i thought about writing -have spent over 2,300 dollars on bridesmaids dresses, shoes, necklaces, plane tickets, and showers)
  • driven my car to 14 states
  • shared my life with 8 fantastic roommates (not even counting summer families)
  • started voting
  • taken my first trip to europe
  • lived in 4 states
  • take my second trip to europe
  • had 12 new jobs (don’t worry I have one that will stick now)
  • become a sister-in-law
  • take my first trip to africa
  • made 100s of new friends
  • lived in a trailer park
  • eaten fish eggs and eyes

it is weird to think about oneself 10 years ago, would a good friend from then still recognize you today? could you share a cup of coffee and make up for lost time or would there be awkward pauses?
