Then, Now and Later

I saw this on Sandy's blog and thought it would be cool to do...

___ Years Ago I....

25 years ago I...was not yet born. My mother was 4 months pregnant with me.

20 years ago I...was 4 and a half living in New Waterford with my mom, Dad and Nannie. I had a new baby sister, Lauren and I was playing with barbies, going to ballet and doing regular little girl things. I remember anxiously awaiting going to school and I had my first crush and sorta boyfriend (Larry Forward) and my nana never let me forget about it...lol...

15 years ago I...was 9 and living in Point Edward. I was probably (okay definitely) still playing with barbies...haha

10 years ago I...was 14 and going through the usual stuff teenagers in Junior High go through...boys, clothes, make up, boys, friends, boys!! LOL...I think at this point I had many crushes but no actual boyfriend. Oh and my parents were divorced at this point...for about 2 years. One thing I remember about being 14 was going to London, England and Paris, France with my school. That was a memorable trip. 2 weeks after I got back from my trip my Papa passed away.

5 years ago I...was 19 and finally legal living in Halifax...not like it made much of a difference since I am pretty sure I was drinking and going to bars before I was actually legal (shhh...don't tell my folks). But it made getting into bars and getting pre-drinking alcohol much easier on me!! hehe! I had just finished my first year of University and had made the change from DAL to SMU in order to pursue criminology.

3 years ago I... was 21 and had already met John Walker (now my leading man and main squeeze). We started off as friends for a year after meeting on a trip with some of my girlfriends to Daytona Beach for spring Break. I was living with Kassandra and we had the coolest Barbie bathroom ever! Seriously...tres cool!!! LOL I was almost finished University and looking forward to bigger and better things (little did I know then...a university degree doesn't garuntee anything).

1 year ago I...was 23 and living in Seoul, South Korea with John. We were teaching English and experiencing a new and very different culture. This time one year ago we were anxiously awaiting Janet and Nannie Meisner's visit.

So far this year I...became a God mother, travelled to China and Thailand, went to visit Kassandra, Ryan and Aidan in Alberta, held 3 jobs at once...I guess it is now 2007 (but only for 2 weeks) so....I guess just bought ourselves a new TV and started a SERIOUS career hunt!

Yesterday I...hung out in New Ross, went to Ryan and Jill's to have a poker night. It was fun!

Tomorrow I will...be working :(

In the next year I will...????? who knows...hopefully be well on the way to a career! Oh and I will turn 25 years old which is therefore 1/4 of a century...UGGGHHHH...not looking forward to this!

In the next minute I will...publish this blog and then join John on the couch.
