i’ve come so far in ten years.
2000 – college student, girlfriend
2001 – community college graduate, byu student, true convert, ex-girlfriend
2002 – byu student, girlfriend? then definitely an ex-girlfriend, in fact an ex-FRIEND and ex-best friend, then member of the best crew ever assembled with lots of best best friends
2003 – college graduate, missionary
2004 – missionary, half-orphan, even deeper convert
2005 – ex-missionary, girlfriend, fiancee, law school student, WIFE
2006 – law school dropout, english teacher in japan
2007 – english teacher, justice court clerk
2008 – court clerk, MOM
2009 – wife, mom, east coast resident
it’s hard to believe it’s been ten years. it’s hard to believe all the changes and stages and milestones i’ve seen in the past ten years – the tragedy and joy. and i have a feeling that the next ten years are going to be even more exciting, which is kind of unbelievable. i can’t wait.
