5 years ago Today....
hmm, that would have been August 5 2003. Oh hell, I remember it well. I was 8 months pregnant with Marlys and we lived in a 2 bedroom apartment in Killeen, TX. It was SO SO SO unbearably hot, and we lived on the 2nd floor. I remember standing at the bottom looking up at our door and thinking to myself that it woudn't be that bad to just get a tent and live on the lawn until I was no longer pregnant. I had been out of the Army for 5 months, and trying to adjust to a life without PT and a chain of command. I had a 2001 Chevy Blazer that I pretty much liked, but for some reason Donnie hated. That aggravated me because he came in to the marriage with NO vehicle, and I had traded my Eclipse because he said it was too small. Any way, I guess we knew at this point that Donnie was going to deploy in January.
5 years from Now...
I will be 34 years old, so basically really old. Donnie will be 33, Marlys will be just about to turn 10 and Rylee will be 7. That's crazy. I have absoloutely NO idea where we will be, but I'm almost positive it won't be North Carolina. Donnie will still be in the Army with probably 2 more deployments under his belt. We should have our house in Texas paid off...or at least DANG close. We will only have 7 more years until retirement!
I tag: Kassie, Lynnzie, Erin, Aubrie, Leslie, Annamarie, and Janice...and whoever else.....

Kristi, that is simply amazing. I am especially with the retirement plan. Are you back home now?
I started to do the photo tag from a while back, but didn't get finished & now we are still moving into our new place, so I will have to do this one and that one. Sorry I never replied to your question about what I use to digi-scrap. I am horrible about writing back. I use Adobe PS4 .0 it works, but I would love to have the newest version. Do you like your program?
