Weekend Giddy or something
So, after Jeff and I have burned the flames of thinking all week, I'm tired. So here's a nice little picture and thought for a Friday afternoon.
This was taken _????___ years ago (I don't actually know, but I'm not sure that I want to know because it has to be more than 25 years).
Where have you moved since then?
Here's my list, feel free to add yours:
1) married much too young
2) divorced and moved to Auburn
3) summers in North Carolina
4) one glorious month in Japan
5) too much time waiting on tables
6) crazy years and near death experiences
7) 8 months in Daphne
8) finally met a good man
9) finished my first degree
10) Montgomery: terrible place
11) Amarillo: worse place
12) Irving: my first taste of traffic
12) Plano: finished my second degree
13) Tucson: the most beautiful place in the US
14) Auburn: ANOTHER DEGREE????
15) Cumming: Not sure yet what to say about this. It won't be the last, I know that.
Fun to think how long the list will be in another 25 years.
