The Last Decade

This is a look back at our last 10 years. I am stealing this idea from one of my best friends Katy, she did this on her blog and I thought it would be a great way to begin my first blog.

The year 2000:

May - Zac & I graduated from high school



August – Zac begins his first semester at the University of Louisville in the Electrical Engineering Program

November – My Dad had a heart attack and is rushed into surgery for an emergency angioplasty

October – Karen is shocked and finds out that she is pregnant!

2005:

March 17th – Me and Zac began dating and it was also the day that he closed on his first home





May – Zac graduated with his Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Louisville and began working full time for CMTA

July 31st – After 6 years it’s my last day working at UofL



August 31st – We close on our new home in Texas



September 23rd – The movers arrive and we leave for Texas



September 25th – Our first official day in Texas



This is obviously just a selection of events that happened over the last ten years. Looking back at the past decade there were very happy times as well as many sad ones. Other things that happened were: My oldest brother was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease. Both of Zac’s brothers were married, Jason married Jessica and Travis married Amanda. I sadly lost both my Grandmothers and Zac lost his Grandma Schneider, as well as other family members and friends. I was honored and asked to be a bridesmaid in 9 different weddings! We spent countless hours having fun with our friends, usually hanging out around a bon fire or someone’s garage. We grew stronger relationships with our families and couldn’t love them more! I am very excited to see what the next decade will bring and to see how our life grows and changes here in Texas!!
