10-20-30

Stacy over at Vader's Mom did this meme yesterday. I liked it and decided to play along today:

10 years ago—I had just switched jobs and went to work in an inner city school in Tampa that was considered "failing" by our state. I had three of the four boys. They were 9, 8, and 3. It was hard because it was the first time in a long time that I was away from them during the day. Up to that point, they had always been in, or very near, the school where I was working. DH was pastoring full time and the boys were active in soccer and church activities.

20 years ago—I was a newlywed who found out she was pregnant in October after being married in August! We were living in Kentucky and DH was in seminary. I was teaching Kindergarten at a private school. DH was working part time at IBM while he went to school. We attended an Assembly of God church at the time. We loved going to the festivals around KY on the weekends. Some of the festivals I remember: Country Days, Court Days, The Apple Festival, The Country Ham Festival, etc. The other thing we loved to do was go to auctions. It was fun to see what we could "win" there...:-)

30 years ago—I was 13 years old and in the 8th grade. We were the "Cubs". I sang in the chorus and enjoyed hanging out with friends. I was very active in our church youth group as well. That year, we went to school from noon until five-thirty, so I used to help with Mother's Morning Out at our church. I loved sitting and rocking the babies while Mothers got out and took some time for themselves.

Do you want to play? Tell the blogosphere where you were 10-20-30 years ago!! If you play, leave me a comment so I can come read your answers.

I saw this at Stacy's too. It is a very fun meme! You didn't waste any time becoming a mommy, did you? :)

Awwww... you were committed to helping the world even when you were little! You are SO sweet! I'll have to wrestle my brain into thinking mode and do this! I'll post it tomorrow with Wordless Wednesday. (if I can think by then!)

I've been wanting to do a 5-10-15 post on my blog.

I'll share my 10-20-30 here, cause I know it'll make you smile!

10 years ago - first year teaching at elementary school - that was also considered 'failing' by our state (married one year)

20 years ago - first year in Junior High - making all kinds of new friends as the elementary schools merged

30 years ago - was 2, vaguely remember!

Now, aren't you so glad I played along!?!
