15 Years Ago
I was a freshman at Arrowhead Christian Academy. I look back on this time and sometimes can't believe what I did. I tried out for cheerleading and made it. This was such a step out of my comfort zone but I wanted to cheer so badly, I sucked up my fear and did it. I had so much fun that first year and still get nostalgic when I see cheerleaders on TV. I know Chris will bop me in the head when he reads this, but I would love it if we had a daughter and she wanted to cheer. :)
10 Years Ago
I was starting my sophomore year of college at Biola. I was finally living with Jen, which I was so excited about. I roomed with someone I didn't know my freshman year because Jen and I had been told by most people that friends shouldn't room together because it usually doesn't work out. Well, we both proved that theory wrong because we ended up living together for the next 4 years and we still, to this day, have never had a fight. I also get nostalgic looking back on my Biola years. I had sooo much fun. A life without jobs, mortgages, or really any responsibility (except the occasional studying)...what could be better???
5 Years Ago
I had been married for about a year and a half and we were living in Buena Park. This was a great apartment, except for the fact that we lived right on a busy street (Chris liked to say our apartment was the 4th lane of Knott Ave.) and our carpet was black and white speckled! I was working at Mary's Shelter (home for teen moms) and Chris was working at our church doing graphic design. This was also such a fun, relaxed time in our lives. We didn't have many commitments or responsibilities yet so we were just enjoying being married and trying to make more couple friends (so hard when you first get married, right?)
Anyone else want to play?

5 years ago we use to drive by your apartment on Knott Ave on a regular basis and Robert honked our horn 3 times just to let you know we were going by. EVERY time we drove by, any time of day ...we still honk but it's not the same:(
Fun post! I had forgotten that trying out for cheer was something you were nervous about. Poor thing, you were probably just comparing yourself to me since I was SUCH A natural when it came to things like cheer and dance. It is hard to grow up in the shadow of your older sister.
I'll do a post like this soon - fun idea. =)
