Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

I was a Junior in college..My interests were my sorority, fraternity mixers, drinking, going to the gym and that's about it. I never wanted college to end

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

Planning my Dec 1998 wedding & working hard in college.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

Wow, good post! Let's see I was working and going to school. I went to a lot of clubs because I was into the whole dance scene. I never thought I would meet such a good man as my husband is. I never thought I would get married.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

Love this post...

10 Years Ago, I was dating DH. I was a senior in college (I did the "5 year plan..you know.."I don't know what I want to do with my life).

I was working for an after school program in the school district, part time, school full time and hanging out having a GREAT time.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

I was a sophomore in high school. Trying to get good grades while doing as little as possible. And probably obsessing over this kid in my science class.

I don't think I really saw myself married for 2 years at 25, but I knew I'd be teaching and living in VA.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

1997..

I was not married and I had no kids and a decent job. I was living at home with my parents and dating a spectacular guy named Dane. I was friends with a guy that I met at a party named Rob. I was deciding what law school I wanted to attend.

It was an active year.. I did a lot of travelling, snowboarding, hiking, biking, rafting, skiing and drinking that year.

If you had asked me then what I thougt I would be doing in 10 years - I probably would have said that I would be married to Dane. I would have 1 child and would be globe trotting with my little family. I would have said that I would be an attorney and that I would be living in NYC because neither Dane nor I could abide the suburbs.

2007:
Dane and I broke up because as fabulous as he was - and as much in common as we had.. we just felt more like brother and sister than lovers. I started dating Rob officially in 2000 and had our first child in 2001, second in 2003 and got married in 2007.

I dropped the idea of law school because I just couldn't see making my parents pay for any more school for me - especially when I wasn't 100% passionate about law as a lifetime career. Paying for myself wasn't an option because my parents were always adament about paying for my education.

I am as lazy as they come. I don't bike, hike or snowboard. I haven't been on a pair of skis in almost 9 years. I haven't been out of the country in 8 years. I rarely drink.

But I am happier than I have ever been. Happier than I ever possibly imagined I would be.

Ten years ago this Thursday, I was walking down the aisle.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

10 years ago was a bad place.

I had just lost my daughter (stillborn) in June and was recovering mentally from that.

I was borderline agorophobic from June -Oct of 1997, and had a hard time accepting what happened.

I choke up now thinking about how hard it was for me to fight back and not totally let sadness overtake my world completly.

With the help of some good friends, I got a new job, got myself help and moved on.

I didnt think about where I would be NOW...I thought about surviving day to day.

Now I can say Im more then thrilled to think of how Im doing and my self "back then" would be happy to know what was to come.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

Married to a dirt bag (ex) in a different state and wonder what had happened to all my dreams!

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

I was just finishing my last semester of college. I graduated Dec. of 1997.

Am I where I thought I would be?

Career wise: YES! I make a good salary for doing something I LOVE! Can you ask for more?!

Home wise & family wise: NO I thought we would have a house & kids by now. But DH took a LONG time to go back to school and........well let's just say we are YEARS behind schedule at this point

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

I was a junior in high school.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

Believe it or not- 10 years ago I was living in Saudi Arabia. I worked for an airline that did sub-services for Saudia Airlines.

That same year, my very good friend committed suicide.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

I was 16 years old and in high school. No real job. Those were the days.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

I was fresh out of high school having the time of my life!!!!!! College , still cheering, working.. It was great!!!!

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

I was in my senior year of college and between boyfriends. I was taking the LSAT's and then decided to take a year of just working between college and law school and then go to law school at night the next year.

It was the best decision I made because I met DH during the year of work and I learned a lot from juggling work full time and part time law school.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

Not in a good place, my Mom had just died of breast cancer, I had my dad to take care of - he wasn't really sick, just had no clue how to take care of himself, as he never had to. Then he died about a year after.

Never really had a plan, I have always been one to go with the flow. In my own little mind I always thought my parent would be around forever....and I would just get everything they had, which wasn't much.

What a rude awakening, after being a sheltered "child" to find out there was a mortgage on their house that I couldn't possibly handled and there was no savings and lots of bills.

At this point...I'm still going with the flow, but at least my bills are paid.

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

I was 21 and living it up

Dating a psycho

Re: Where were you 10 years ago?

I had just graduated high school, turned 18 and was attending NCC. I thought I would be married and have kids by now, but that did not happen. I don't think I was dating anyone seriously, probably just messing around
