Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Tell me something good...

I saw this on a friends blog, so I thought I'd put my own spin on it...enjoy!

1. Ten years ago I was…in middle school, just being myself (tragically uncool!), taking tennis lessons and playing softball. It was about now that I realized that my hair was out of control and I started wearing make up...and jeans.

2. Things on my to do list today...clean our house, get a manicure, finish up an air flow diagram at work and try to enjoy the sunshine (while I can). Also, set up time with Aunt Donna to make jam!

3. Things I would do if I was suddenly a billionaire: I would put some of it in the bank, some of it would go to charities, but to be honest with you, I'd be at J.crew in a heartbeat. I'd also buy some land and put a house on it. A house with a laundry chute, huge kitchen with state of the art appliances and a large theater room for Steven. I'd also get some dogs to hang out with in the new house.

4. Bad Habits: Um...well, I clean too much. I used to bite my nails (but not so much anymore), I tend to say what I'm thinking sometimes, which does not always end up well. I swear, probably my worst habit.


5. Places I have lived: Springfield OR, Corvallis OR, Fairview OR and Lake Oswego OR.

6. Jobs I have now or have had: Administrative Assistant Extraordinaire, Lab tech/intern at U of O Chemistry Dept., Lab tech/intern at OSU Chemical Engineering Dept., Kindercare weekly Chemistry Teacher, SESEY Camp Counselor, Chemical Engineering Consultant.


7. Things people don't know about me (quirky things about me): I didn't own or wear a pair of jeans until I was 12. I enjoy a nice peanut butter and cheddar cheese sandwich. I can't keep a plant alive.

8. Things that make my life superfabulous right now: Well, the wedding is pretty superfabulous, although I wish it were here already!! My Steven is also pretty superfabulous (but more like superfabulous awesome!)... I also really like our apartment and living in Lake O (its a much nicer drive in the morning)...but looking for a house is starting to materialize as a achievable now. I have pretty amazing friends and family who love and support me. Come to think of it, I can't really think of a time that my life wasn't superfabulous. I'm pretty blessed. :)
