January 2010 marks the start of a new decade! Wow. What will it bring? I can only imagine!
Here is what the last ten years brought (in a NUT-SHELL!) :
2000: Freshman in college at Southern Utah University. Staying up very late each night, having a blast with my roommies, riding my bike everywhere, thinking about becoming a math teacher. 18 years old. Summer job at Hires Big H as a car hop.
2001: Sophomore. Service Coordinator in student government. Mortified often. Passionate about life. Learning how to open up to people. Consider changing major to psychology, art, or spanish.
2002: Junior year. Meet and marry the very gorgeous and manly Daniel Robert Hyde. Stop considering psychology because I can't get up early enough for class. Summer job at Domino's Pizza. Fall wedding. Love being married to my man and grateful for such supportive, loving family.
2003: Senior Year I. Getting a degree in art, spanish, and secondary education. Travel to Mexico for half the summer with Danny, working for Uncle Mark.
2004: Senior Year II. Danny and I graduate together. Study for one month in Spain. Move into Mark and Anne's house in Fallon. Student teach at CCHS. Danny's first real job at Kehoe Tile & Stone. Become pregnant with first child.
2005: Buy first home in Fernley, NV. Substitute teach. Give birth to my Melia. Danny begins new job for construction/development co. Both parents buy boats and the wake boarding fetish begins!
2006: Become pregnant with my Sophie. My mother, Joyce Janeene Bevan Elkington, passes away, age 52.
2007: Substitute teach and do art lessons. Sophie Joyce is born. Danny goes to China for first time. Another heartbreaking loss in the family.
2008: Run a half marathon. Lasik Eye Surgery is great. P90X with Danny. Love my family. Questioning everything about my life.
2009: Sophie's tonsils and adenoids are removed. Dad marries Wendy Terry. Official kickoff to Sister's Weekends, both sides. Run some more. Danny accepts new job for Pacifica Hotels and we move to Hawaii. Dye my hair blond, enjoy loads of family time, and find some of the answers I am looking for.
2010: Becoming a better mother, making new family traditions, and more to be announced...

I love this Annie! What a decade you had, going from an 18-year-old on the starting space of the game of life as an adult and progressing (beautifully, I might add) to a 28-year-old mother of two with many talents, a thinking mind and feeling heart, and living life in paradise (for now!).
wow annie, this is great! i love to see this time line, what a ten years you have had!! i bed the next ten are going to be even better. i sure love you annie, i'm glad danny found you
I loved reading this post. It was so fun to see, in a nutshell, all the changes, growth, craziness of life...your life. You've inspired me--next journal entry. Hope you're doing great out there in the sunshine...soak some up for my white, pasty self, okay?
What a great summary of the decade! I miss you Annie and think of your family often!
Hope this decade is starting out well.
