Then and now
/Do any of you remember this?
That was my babies in August of 2006. Here are some tidbits about our lives during that time:
And here are some ways our life has changed in the past three years:
Life is good. And it just keeps getting better.
- We lived less than a mile from the beach in sunny, perfect, warm San Diego
- The Husband did not ever get on a plane, and frequently came home for lunch
- McKay and Chase were both in elementary school, and Hannah had just started preschool
- We were both renting and owning a home at the same time (it wasn't pretty)
- I had a blog that a few people liked to read
- Hannah's best friend was Sleeping Beauty (and she was sure to remind us of that daily)
- I had very little time to myself
- I made lots of cookie dough
- I drank lots of diet coke
- The Husband hated his job and was professionally very miserable
- My kids went to bed at six o'clock every night
- Chase spent every waking minute hunting lizards
- I pushed Hannah in the stroller daily on our walk to pick the boys up from school
And here are some ways our life has changed in the past three years:
- We no longer live less than a mile from the beach
- My three kids are in school all day long
- The Husband is very happy now at his job
- We are thankfully owning just one home
- McKay is in his first year of middle school, and Chase and Hannah are both in elementary school
- Hannah's best friend is no longer Sleeping Beauty
- Chase spends every waking minute hunting frogs
- I am now a small business owner
- The Husband is once again a frequent flier and is never home for lunch (or breakfast, or dinner, come to think of it)
- My kids still go to bed some days at six o'clock
- I still make way too much cookie dough
- I still drink lots of diet coke
- I have a blog, and a few people like to read it
- I no longer own or operate a stroller
- And I have oodles of time to myself
Life is good. And it just keeps getting better.
