In ten years everything can change...

I'm leaving tomorrow for Missouri for my 10 year high school reunion. It's so crazy to me that I graduated 10 years ago!! I've been thinking a lot lately about how much has changed in my life the past 10 years. I have grown up so much and experienced so many good and not so good times in the past 10 years.
Here are my top ten life experiences that I have encountered since 1999...
1. Moved to Texas with no friends at all except for my brother, Andy.
2. Graduated college in 2003 at Baylor University with an Interior Design degree (The actual degree that I set out to get!) and passed the NCIDQ in 2008.
3. Helped my dad as he battled cancer and stayed by his side the last night before he passed away on July 24, 2003.
4. Met the absolute love of my life, Matt Franks, in May 2000
5. Moved to Dallas in 2003
6. Bought my first house! Matt and I bought our condo in July 2005. We weren't even engaged, but I knew that we were going to be married. Don't worry, he didn't live there. I had my good friend, Helen, live with me until Matt and I got married.
7. Married Matt on March 25, 2006 in Dallas. One of the best days of my life!!
8. Got a maltipoo!! Captain is the first pet I've ever owned besides a fish!
9. Became a landlord with the condo and moved into Matt's childhood home in 2008.
10. Had the joy and blessing of becoming a mom to Roman Matthew on March 12, 2009.
What an amazing 10 years! God is so good!
