Stolen from IN's: Your Decade

JennyBee1018 · January 2010

This was posted on my International board, and it looked like fun. It is hard though! :-) Have fun!

2000: My father left my mom after 30 years of marriage, and she was devastated.

2001: Met my now DH at a party. Had a psycho bf at the time, who I broke up with for DH. (Best decision ever).Transferred into a women's college in my town. Also, spent that New Years in Montana with DH's family.

2002: Kept busy by working full time and attending college.

2003: The company I was working for relocated to a different location, so I became unemployed in October. It was not fun. Still continued thru at college, and helped my mom shop for a new house.

2004: My mom and I graduated together from college. It was a great year. Took a job as a bank teller, which I came to loathe. My mom purchased a new home!

2005: Uh, I cannot think of anything exciting that happened in 05.

2006: Got engaged to DH! After we got engaged, we moved in together :-) Found a new job at my alma mater, working in admissions.

2007: Decided to go to graduate school, while planning the wedding.

2008: DH and I finally got married after 6 years of dating!

2009: DH applied for and got the job here in Doha, Qatar, so we made the decision to move overseas. We also celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary :-) Also this year, my gram was diagnosed with cancer and my father died.

I am sure I am missing stuff from the earlier 2000's, but it was so long ago! Overall, it was a pretty good decade for me.

KimWard · January 2010

This was really difficult, but fun!

2000- I turned 14, and my cousin was born. I also started my freshman year of HS in the fall. I hated swimming class, and eventually got kicked out. I took my first year of Spanish and loved it. I also discovered that I picked up on it very quickly.

2001- I don't remember much more than Sept. 11th, but I'll always remember watching the horrible images on TV in study hall that day.

2002- Over the summer I began seriously trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life- whether to study Spanish or get into fashion design. I think I began looking at some colleges for fashion design this year.

2003- I decided that I wanted to study Spanish in college, and began touring other schools. MY HS-sponsored trip to Spain was cancelled. I was devastated b/c I wanted to go so badly.

2004- Graduated from HS, and began college at Gannon University. Made some amazing friends that I am still close to now.

2005- My grandfather died on Jan.1st, so I went back to college late. And the next few months back were h*ll. I was so depressed and homesick, and I could barely keep help not cry in public. Met DH in the fall semester, and started hanging out more. We began dating in Sept., and by the end of the year I knew I wanted to marry him.

2006- DH proposed to me in Oct. on stage at Gannon's homecoming dance!! I was also preparing to go abroad.

2007- I left Jan. 6th for Spain, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was incredibly difficult to leave DH (then FI) and my family, but I made great friends, learned a lot, and saw amazing places. When I returned, DH walked in graduation, though he had a lab to finish up the next semester. I began my senior year that fall.

2008- Huge year for me! I was the first in my immediate family to graduate college, so graduation was very special. I landed my first "real" job in July in DC, so DH and I moved to Alexandria early July.

2009- We continued to enjoy our first year in DC, and got to see the cherry blossoms for the first time. We also found a church to attend. DH and I finally got married in May, after being engaged nearly 3 years, and took a lovely HM cruise to the Bahamas.

2006 - got engaged! DH was doing his internship, and we moved from Grove City down to the South Hills. I met some lovely ladies from the knot that are some of the best firend's I've ever had.

2007 - We got married and DH (finally) graduated. We bought our first home and moved to the North Hills

2008 - marked by a plethora of house projects, DH lost his job, got a better one, and then got sick of the new job pretty quickly. I got a new job within my company and started traveling like a mad woman. MIL got married, and lots of drama and funny stories were had (and shared here on the knot)

2009 - I got a big promotion, more house project craziness, Dh got a new, better jobby job in Nov.

How much fun! I love this idea!!

2000: Freshman year in Highschool! What a crazy time of insecurity and transition! I had my first 'real' boyfriend, and gained and lost many friends in the transition from grade school to high school. I went on my first cruise with my family to the Bahamas!

2001: I got my lisence and my first car - a silver VW Beetle. My mom and I started going on our annual 'girls trips' to the Bahamas, and my older brother (and FI, although I didn't know him!) graduated high school. I also broke up with my 1st boyfriend. My family, my best friend and I went on a cruise to the western carribbean which was alot of fun!

2002: Had a new boyfriend who was a real jerk - but we were young and in high school - you live and learn I guess! Mom and I continue our 'girls' trips to Atlantis - this time with my cousin and her mom - Tons of fun! We also went on a Mexican cruise with my entire family (I'm talking cousins, aunts, uncles, EVERYONE!)

2003: Graduated High school! I was SO happy to get out of there!! My high school years we not the best time of my life to say the least! I also started college at La Roche and was terribly unhappy there... I started working at a clothing store and was looking for a way to get out of the area for a bit to clear my mind and just start over. Another 'girls' trip to the Bahamas, just mom and I!

2004: Broke up with the jerk boyfirend after much soul searching and applied for an internship with Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. Went on a cruise with my family, and I got accepted for the internship - I was SO excited to sort of re-start my life! Can't forget the annual 'girls' trip to Atlantis with just mom and I! Also, my entire family (aunts, uncles, cousins...) went to Rivera Maya Mexico for an all-inclusive trip - there were about 30 of us and It was an absolute blast!

2005: Moved to Orlando for the Walt Disney World College Program Internship and met my FI!!! I moved to Florida not knowing anyone and was EXTREMELY scared, but I met the most amazing people and had the time of my life! My mom and I continued our tradition of our 'girls' trip, this time with my freind from Disney and my mom's friend!

2006: Transferred schools (to the Philadelphia area) and met absolutely wonderful people! Once again, I found myself moving to a strange place all by myself, scared out of my mind (FI lived about 45 mins away from campus so I didn't see him all the time). It turned out to be a wonderful experience and I met great people in school! Yet another 'girls' trip! Oh and how could I forget! I turned 21 this year!

2007: '07 was the year I was supposed to graduate college and I was depressed b/c all of my friends from home were graduating and I was still there b/c I lost a year of school due to my internship in Disney. My mom, cousin, and best friend from college went on our 'girls' trip to the Bahamas and had an absolute blast!

2008: Graduated College! yay! and started my first "real" job as an Architect in the Philly area!! Also, FI and I got our PUPPY from a breeder in Iowa!! The second love of my life (behind my FI of course! haha) - oh and one terribly bad thing... In August while on vacation with my family and FI in Hawaii (which was a fabulous time, I got news that my apartment complex burnt down and I lost EVERYTHING I owned... It was undoubtedly the worst time of my life. Over 200 people lost their homes and everything they had, myself included. Luckily for me, 2009 was a MUCH better year! Unfortunately, because of my job and vacation allowace from work, my mom and I couldn't do our 'girls' trip...

2009: I started grad school (in the process of a career change), went on a fabulous cruise with the FI and his family and last but certainly not least, FI and I GOT ENGAGED!!! I started planning the wedding and still have a long way to go!!!!

Here's to 2010!!

2003: First time DH and I broke up. We had a few little breaks throughout this year. Some things to work out... but I'm glad we did!

2004: Graduated from College!

DH and I bought our house together this August and we got our first dog, Mia, in October.

2005: Got my first (degree related) job. Which I was pretty miserable in. DH also got his first (degree related) job, which he was a bit happier in. Also we got our first cat, Brutus, and our second dog, Calypso, this year.

2007: My dad remarried to a woman we all really like. And DH proposed!!
