Holy cow. These were pretty much 9-10 years ago and how much has changed. I wasn't much of a picture-taker then, so I had to ask my mother-in-law if she had any pictures. I'm so glad she took some!

How little did we know where we would be 10 years down the road. We had no cares, no kids, no major bills...laundry was two loads and weekends were spent everywhere but at home. We ate what we pleased, worked full-time, saw every new movie that came out. We had game nights, movie nights, nights out on the town.

Life has pretty much slowed down in that area. We rarely see movies, we have to watch what we eat, we are home a LOT, laundry is a day's worth, many cares, three wonderful kids, BILLZ and weekends are sometimes still spent anywhere but home.

But I LIKE where we are now. I have a man who loves me for who I am, every day of the week, even when I am at my lowest. I don't mind being home because I'm spending it with three little girls who crave my love and attention. I love laundry, so I am not complaining about the abundance of it. We own our home, our cars are paid off and we are not in need.

Some days (very rarely), I wonder where we would be now had we not moved to St. George...or took measures against having more children after Samantha...or had fizzled out after that one month of dating. Who would I be? Who would WE be? Well...thankfully, I don't have to worry about that. That's like stressing out about the future. Where will we be in 10 years? How are we going to manage? 

"It's alright, it's okay

I won't worry 'bout tomorrow

For it brings me one more day

Closer than I was to You"

Why dwell on the past? It's done. Why dwell on the future? It may not even come to be! I want to focus on the here and now, what is going on this very minute....and that is me, eating some Fig Newtons and watching some Castle...and kissing my babies good night.
