For some reason this morning, I was thinking about where I was 10 years ago. I think this came about because Conner will be turning 10 in a couple weeks. It seems like it was yesterday, yet it also seems like it was more than 10 years ago! So, here are some things that were going on in my life 10 years ago...
Mike and I had just bought our first house in Canby in December '07, so we were less than 1 year into it. We were anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Conner. I was excited and nervous. Not really sure what to expect, but couldn't wait either! I had just "retired" from my "real" job. My last day of work was on July15th. Honestly, that was the last real paying job I have had. We decided that it was worth it to cut our income so that I could be home with Conner (and Alia and Ann-Elise and Adrie and Caile...). Life was open to possibilities and hopes and dreams. I had NO idea that after Conner came we'd have 4 girls! Mike was working for a company called PC Test. He wasn't making much money at the time. Apparently, even though you can get paid for playing video games all day, it doesn't pay well! I was not attending church and Mike was not a member.
Wow. How times change! Now I can barely remember what life was like BC (before Conner). What it would be like to just go and do something with out having to worry about kids, diapers, bottles, baby sitters... But I wouldn't change it either! Even though my house is a disaster, we rarely have a decent meal and life is totally crazy. It's my life and I love it!

Yeah, a lot has happened in the last 10 years, look how far we've all come! I still can't believe he's going to be 10, how crazy is that?!
It seems like just a couple of months ago he was turning 8. I remeber the conversation right before his 8th birthday. That seems so weird how fast it went by.
You have a lot of wonderful things to show for your 10 years. that is awesome! I wish you another great 10 years!
