5 Years Now

I can't believe I graduated from College 5 years ago! It doesn't seem that long ago, and I don't feel that old. Next year I'll have my 10 yr. HS reunion. Crazy. So here was me, 5 years ago, in our apartment, posing with my stuff on. (I had on fishnets, which I thought would be really cool with my robe, but from far away they just looked gray or something, oh well)


If I had stuck to my program, I would have just paid off my "loan" a year ago, having taught in Utah for 4 years to "pay back" my education. As it was, I ended up paying the old-fashioned way, with money, thanks to some helpers to whom I will be forever indebted. I don't know that I even want to be a Social Studies Secondary Ed. teacher anymore, now that I am actually a little older and know what my interests actually are (I chose my career at 16 or 17 and was locked in) Don't really know what I want to be when I "grow up," but right now I'm a mom, and that's enough for the time being.

In short, it's been a crazy last 5 years, and having boys that are 3 and 2 is insane sometimes, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms!
