It dawned on me today that this year is my ten year reunion for my high school. Was it really 10 years ago that I was a senior in high school?! It makes me feel old to know that it was so long ago. I have no idea if I will actually be able to make it to my reunion, but just thinking about it, makes me look over the past ten years and think about what has happened. What I have lost, what I have gained, what has changed. Here's a brief look at my life over the last ten years:
2000: Graduated from high school
2001: Continued going to Community College. Of course the towers fell. I was in the middle of a horrible situation.
2002: Said good-bye to a four year relationship and struggled to find myself amidst the rubble. Started working for Southwest Airlines.
2003: Met Brandon through mutual friends.
2004: Survived my first deployment with Brandon. Big Jared Christopher Miller was taken from us too soon in a car accident. Brandon left for Hawaii. I continued in college and working for Southwest.
2005: Brandon proposed, we got married, I moved to Hawaii. I finished my degree in Elementary education.
2006: I became a Christian. Brandon went on WestPac. I traveled to Guam to meet the boat. We got pregnant for the 4th time (we had 3 previous miscarriages)
2007: Jared Christopher was born in August. Brandon transferred to shore duty.
2008: I started and completed my Master's degree for Curriculum & Instruction: Reading. Brandon finished his degree in Nuclear Engineering.
2009: Brandon's little sister, Aleah got married. Other than that, just had a growing toddler
2010: We start the process of moving on from Hawaii to other adventures that await us.
Life in a nutshell. I am just thankful for the experiences that have shaped me into the person that I am still becoming.
