ABOUT ME!

Awwwhhh Summer :) I love the summer! Anyway, I have to admit I copied this post from my friend Tami's blog just because it really made me think. So much has gone on in my life in the last 4 years since I moved to Colorado. The number one thing is of course, meeting Daniel! However, I've changed several jobs, graduated graduate school and moved about a dozen times.. It has been crazy. In passing, I've met several people that have come in and out, some have stayed and I am most grateful for that. Lots have been with me through the not so easy times! It is just so interesting reflecting on where I've been, what i've done, and what I dream about for the future!

What were you doing a decade ago?

10 years ago, I was in high school and loving life. I was a junior- playing soccer in the fall, skiing and ice hockey in the winter, and lacrosse spring & summer. I was prepping for college, I loved it. I was getting excited about independence and what the future had in store for me. I was definitely transitioning and with every transition you learn new things about yourself. I remember I was asking myself a lot of questions, as to whether Penn Yan was the place for me to stay, what I wanted to do as a career, was i satisfied not knowing what was out there etc; BUT, most of all I was enjoying my friends and family in a small town, on the lake, and at the box rink! I was hanging out with life-long friends. I think it was the year before senioritis set in, before really worrying about college and a career set in, before worrying about finances--it was a carefree year!
