2005: Got Married. Bought a Condo. Became really good friends with the people at H0me Dep0t.
2004: Due to my father hating the idea of a destination wedding we scratched our plans for a Disney wedding and started planning a traditional wedding. Aside from wedding planning and working, 2004 was a big year because for the first time I flew across the country - something I never thought I would do - to see Bel.
2003: Started working again (actually at the end of 2002). The soon to be husband and I decided to finally start planning a wedding. My father also had his second brain surgery.
2002: 2002 was the Worst year of my life. I spent my time looking for a job and dealing with my father getting sick and recovering after brain surgery.
2001: Work. Work. Work. Work. Work. I was the "sucker" at work who got stuck with all the crazy projects, that was until the company decided to close the boston office.
2000: Graduated. Started my first full time "real" job.
1999: School. Work(store). School. Work(internship). Rince, Later, Repeat.
1998: Started my second year of college at Suffolk University where I ran into Corrine who I had not seen since 7th grade!
1997: I started my first year of college at an all girls catholic college in Western Mass. By the end of my first semester I decided if I was going to finish college I needed to get out of there so I started re-applying to a bunch of colleges. I also started dating the husband this year.
1996: Senior Year of High School. Applied to numerous colleges and had 3 acceptance letters by December (early decesions)
1995: Started working at a grocery store. So now instead of School School School and more School my days were spent at school, work, sports, work, school school school.
1994: Rince. Lather. Repeat. See 1993
1993: School School School and more School. Between sports, newspaper, yearbook, national honor society, etch I spent every waking moment at school.
1993: First year of High School. I was "cool" because my cousin was a senior and I got to hang out with her at lunch. Yeah...
1992: First year of High School. I was "cool" because my cousin was a senior and I got to hang out with her at lunch. Yeah...
1991: The school I had been going to closed down so I had to start the 8th grade in a new school. I hated that school with a passion.
1990: My teacher's pet reputation was thrown out the door when I got caught passing a note to my friend. That note included a few choice words about my teacher.
1989: My little cousin was born. A lot of my friend's mothers were pregnant this year. Apparently you were only cook if you were going to have a baby brother or sister soon so of course I had to have one. I begged my mother for weeks before she got me a dog to shut me up :)
1988: I don't remember a thing about this year.
1987: Third Grade. I won second place in the science fair.
1986: I was in second grade and i was "scolded" for the first time by my teacher for talking. This "tramatized" and I hated school for the rest of that year. (I think I was a little over sensitive)I also switched over from ballet lessons to Irish step dancing.
1985: My birhtday and my dance recital fell on the same day. This made me mad for some odd reason.
1984: Started Ballet lessons.
1983: More preschool which included a lot of pasta art (which apparently holds up well - even 23 years later)
1982: I begged to go to preschool like my little park friends. So, I went to preschool.
1981: Little brother stole my teddy bear from me while watching Sesame Street. In my desperate attempt to recover my poor little bear I accidently pushed him off the couch and he broke his wrist. Oops.
1980: There is photographic evidence that we got a cat for Christmas this year. Apparently said cat and I did not get along and so it had to go. Who dosn't get along with a cat?!
1979: My parents decided that I needed to learn how to "share". They thought a baby brother would help.
1978: I made my apparently very loud entrance on Saturday, April 29 @ 6:33 pm
