10 Years Ago

After Michelle's comment about going back 10 years, I started trying to figure out what exactly I was doing 10 years ago.

February 1999. Four years post-high school.
I would have been 22, and Jason, barely 18.

That's pretty much all I'm sure of.

I seriously can't remember much more than that. Is it hard for anyone else to remember 10 years back?

Where was I working? What was I driving? Who were my friends? What was my hair like?

I'm thinking I may have been still living at home but getting ready to move to Spokane. An adventure that only lasted 3 months. Or was that the year before? Or the year after? Or maybe that never really happened...

But, Rachael was a senior and I think I remember driving back home for her graduation.



I seriously can't remember.

So, I'm going to spend some time tonight, after the kids go to bed, searching for some details. I'm going to have to make some phone calls, and dig through some old pictures, just to figure it out. How pathetic is that?

Is it normal to have this poor of a memory?

And if it's this bad already, what will it be like 10 years from now?

I really better have this little blog of mine published otherwise at this rate, I may not even remember my own name or that these three children really do belong to me...

I have a terrible memory too. The only reason I can remember 10 years ago is because my oldest had just turned one and I was a month away from popping out #2. Not much else I remember...

yeah, that's pretty much the story of my life. "how old is your brother?" "I don't know." "Where do your parents live?" "I don't know." "How do you get to your house?" "Ask Steve." There is SO much of my childhood that I have no recollection of...I don't know if that's on purpose or if that's really how sucky my memory is. Kind of scary though.
