I graduated from high school exactly ten years today. I remember the date because 1, I felt on top of the world and 2, my brother called from my future university to tell me it was snowing. Ten years doesn't seem very long ago and yet I feel like graduation was several lifetimes ago. So in tribute, since then I:
Earned a bachelors degree in history and theatre education
Met and married my amazing husband
Held several jobs to put myself through school, most commonly waiting tables and working for the university's housing program
Enjoyed a brief (3 year) career of teaching high school at one of the best schools in the country
Have had 2.7 beautiful, brilliant, sweet and talented daughters
Owned two homes, eleven cars and four cats
Traded living in a bustling city by the beach for a quiet town in the mountains. Traded surfing for snowboarding and became more domesticated than I expected. I love cooking, scrapbooking and sewing. And when not pregnant, rock climbing.
Visited thirteen countries and much of the US
Spent a lot of time doing theatre (acting, choreographing, teching and attending)
Spend a lot of time with family (both mine and my husband's, most of whom live within two hours of us)
Now I spend most days in a home more beautiful than I ever expected, playing with two little girls more amazing than I ever imagined and with a husband more exceptional than I can describe. I am very blessed.
