Reflections...

Photobucket
So it's a New Year, and I'm wondering what you're all calling it.  Is it "TWENTY-TEN" or "Two Thousand and Ten" or just "TEN"?!  I've been saying I'm gonna call it Twenty-Ten but then I always end up going with two thousand and ten...  I'll figure it out around Dec. 31st! Ü
Lately I've been thinking that not only is it a New Year, it's a New Decade!!  That's amazing to me... I remember New Year's Eve 1999 like it was yesterday!  We had a party at Melissa's house, some of the guys went next door at midnight and turned off the neighbors power, he worked for a hospital and had a bunch of equipment that he had to reboot. He wasn't to happy!! Ü  Aww, to be a teenager again...
So with it being a new decade, I wanted to reflect back on what's gone on in the past decade for me.  I saw this on someone's blog and wanted to do it too...   
Sorry I don't remember who's, I "stalk", as my hubby calls it, a lot of blogs!

~ I turned 16!

~ I got my driver's license!  The first place I drove by myself was Taco Bell!!

~ I became pregnant.

~ I got married to my BEST friend and LOVE of my life!

~ I had my beautiful daughter.

~ I graduated high school.

~ We bought our first house.

~ I became pregnant with our 2nd child.

~ I lost a son.

~ I buried a child, never did I think that would be something I'd write about in any of my decades!

~ We  bought our second house.

~ I became pregnant with our 3rd child.

~ I had our 2nd little boy, biggest blessing to see our healthy baby boy, crying with his eyes open!

~ Started a blog... started a business.

~ Moved to UTAH, never did I think I'd say that either! Ü

~ Supported my hubby as he started his business.

~ cried, laughed, yelled, slept, worried, loved, stressed, prayed, failed, etc etc etc

And the list goes on and on, it's amazing to reflect on all the changes I've gone through in a decade!  And what we remember, and what we don't.  I'm excited, scared, nervous, and looking forward to what the next decade has in store for me and my family!!  I've got a LIST of things I hope to accomplish, of course it's way to long...  But hey, I have 10 years, right?! Ü
So what do you have to reflect on for the last decade?!  What's big and exciting that's coming up for you in this decade?  I'd love to hear...

That was a cool post. Ten years goes by so fast, yet so dang slow. Crazy how it works.

I loved this post. I was cracking up remembering that New Years party. Has 10 years really gone by? I feel so old! You should be proud of all you've accomplished in the last 10 years. I'm impressed.
