So I was thinking about my 'about me' section and I always have an 'idea' or a 'title' I want to work towards and it never turns out anywhere near where my thoughts started.  This is what I came up with: a random summation of my life from the start of high school to today.  WHY I decided it was important to document high school....I don't know.  Just be thankful I didn't document the earlier years.    

*1996*  My parents don’t like my current boyfriend.  They call the cops on him.  He does drugs.  Not a soul mate.  I know this.

*1997*  My boyfriend likes to play Army and someday will join it.  I can beat him at Mortal Combat.  It frustrates him.  I’m also in the band...not the cool band.

*1998*  I lie to my parents regularly because my friends are allowed to do things I’m not able to do.  They are so not cool. 

*1999*  My parents don’t like my current boyfriend.  They call the cops on him.  He does drugs.  Not a soul mate.  I know this.

*2000* I’m sitting next to my boyfriend in his old gray pickup truck on the way to the movie theatre 2 towns over.  I’m getting ready for college and itching to get away from everything. 

*2001*  I’m at college not caring one bit about the education I’ll later crave because college is just a means of escape not a reason to grow as a person. 

*2002*  I met this guy who lived in my dorm.  This is one of the shortest relationships of my life and one that will shape me and change me more than he will ever know.

*2003*  Football and parties consume my free time which I consider most of my time to be.  I’m very angry and slighted by everyone around me.

*2004*  My on again off again college boyfriend and I call it quits.  I fly to Chicago.  I meet Dave.  I fall in love. 

*2005*  Rewarding work and little pay lead me to less rewarding work and more pay in Chicago….near Dave…I fall even more in love.

*2006*  New town, new friends, new life, same guy.  Engaged and Married.  I fall even more in love.

*2007*  No money, 3 jobs, 2 bedrooms, a few drinks.  I’m pregnant.  I’m anxious, excited and avoiding pastel colors. 

*2008*  No money, 2 jobs, 3 bedrooms.  OGJ and DRJ with me in the new digs...we are overwhelmingly blessed…
