Old times

Jenn is probably the only person who knows how many online journals I have had (and left behind in the dust). Well, besides Mary and Keely. I was looking through some of them today to see what I was up to years ago. My first journal was started in 2002.

In December of 2002, Mary, Keely and I were living in Frank. We received a Christmas tree from our friend Daniel, and thus named it our Charlie Brown Christmas tree. I have a picture of this on my home computer, I will absolutely have to post it. We decorated it with a lay, necklaces, rings, and anything else we could find in our dorm room. For our star we put a stale marshmallow on top with the word STAR written on it.

In December of 2002, I had just gotten engaged to Stephen.

In December of 2002, I went hunting for the first time.

In December of 2004, mine and Stephen's dog Riley was killed by a wreckless driver. That driver being his aunt. She was killed on Christmas Eve, of all days.

In December of 2005, Stephen and I had been married for 4 months.

In December of 2005, I was working in insurance.

In December of 2005, I found out I am mildly allergic to dogs.

In December of 2006, I locked my keys in the car for the first time.

I guess there were a lot more interesting things that happened in those Decembers that I could post about, but then we wouldn't have any secrets between us, now would we?

I'm so glad you wrote this post because I just discovered I still have two of your old ones bookmarked and they made for some great reading! Ah, college.

Considering how I was an immediate blogging addict once I started a blog, I am amazed I never copied you and started one way back then.

yeah it's kind of depressing to read the old ones. I'm so much cooler now!

And I'm just glad you started a blog, no matter how long it took!
