I have been tagged by Joyce over at Home Again Vintage Treasures. What was I doing 10/20/30 years ago?
10 years ago?.........Hmmm lets see. Ten years ago, we were waiting anxiously for our oldest son to come home from college on Thanksgiving break. Our youngest Lauren was 4 and helped him carry his bags into the house when he came home. Everyone was really excited to see Pete, the first one of many to leave the house for the first time. When he left for college I cried, cause I knew that he wasn't going to be the only one to fly the coup. This year we had all 11 children in school, from Pre-school up to College. Life for us was very busy. RM also just started his business the previous year, so we had a lot of changes going on.
20 years ago?.........Hmmm now I have to start using my brain. Ha that wasn't too hard. I was pregnant with our 8th child who was due December 27th. I even remember my due date. He didn't come until the 29th though. I remember that during this pregnancy, I wasn't so organized as I was with our 4th child who was due on December 20th. I was still Christmas shopping a few days before Christmas. I could hardly move by the time I got home. Ugh!!!!!!!! That I will never forget. Also, when this one was born the one before him who was 14 months old still wasn't walking yet. So if I went anywhere, I basically had 2 babies to carry around. Needless to say I didn't go out much that winter (he did start to walk by 18 months tho).
30 years ago?........Yikes now I really have to pick my brain. I was a junior in high school, and my boyfriend at that time was.....the guy I married. My High School sweetheart. We went to different High Schools, and RM was a senior. We went to the same church growing up, so I knew him all my life. I became an aunt for the first time 30 years ago, my brother and his wife had a baby girl. I was going to school, talking to friends on the phone, going out with RM on the weekends, going to RM's hockey games. Just being a teenager.
