What I was doing 10 years ago
July 1995

It was the summer before my junior year of high school. I have a really bad memory. I'm sure I went to camps....Encounter at LCU and possibly Pine Springs. I think that was the last summer with our awesome youth minister Bobby Hise, before he retired. I was probably playing in a summer basketball league. My mom and brother have a much better memory than me, and if they read this maybe they can think of other things we did. I'm sure it was a fun summer!

I was living in Dallas, doing my practicum at Scottish Rite Hospital. One of the greatest experiences I've had. I worked in the Child Life department. Basically, I got to plan all of the play room activities for the kids, go play cards or Nintendo games with them in their rooms, read with them, etc. I loved it, and would someday hope to go back to that. It was also a fun summer dating James. This summer was really the only time we lived in the same city until we got married. I lived with a lady named Dot. She had just had total knee replacement surgery on both knees, so in exchange for taking care of her we (my friend Susan and I) got to live there for free. James and I went on lots of fun dates.

We were living in McKinney. Kaitlyn had just turned one. We enjoyed a fun luau birthday party for her at our neighborhood swimming pool. I had just starting working for Dr. Mitchell as her dental assistant. My good friend Meredith Moore was the hygenist, and we had a good ole' time!! We enjoyed hanging out with our friends from church. Kaitlyn loved going to her gymnastics class on Tuesdays with Hannah. James was working at Eliane Ceramic Tile. I was kind of getting the feeling that I wanted to move to a smaller town....

Living in Abilene!! We love it here. It has been the best thing for our family. Yesterday I worked all day in the admissions department at ACU. I went to lunch with 3 really fun girls. Shout out to Sara, Tamara and Darby!! It was cool and rainy. I walked over to the campus center and bought a book that I have been wanting to read, Blue Like Jazz. I also bought a Jeremy Camp CD. Last night I cooked a gourmet meal of mac and cheese, smoked saugage and apple sauce. Random, but Jameses favorite meal. After Kaitlyn went to bed, I walked over to the ampetheatre and enjoyed a Kadesh devotional. I can always hear them singing from our front porch, so I decided to venture over there. It was really good and uplifting to watch these high school kids and camp counselors on their "spiritual high" from camp. I wish we had the discipline to feel that way every day.
