My Years Reflection 2001

It’s my 30th birthday year.  As part of my celebrations, I thought I would take my birthday month to reflect on my life.  To help, I am using some of my scrapbooked pages to illustrate my life.  For each year, I’ve chosen a few pages to highlight that year.  I hope you enjoy my look back as much as I do.

2001: Life at college is sweet!

Page 1:  The ladies of Schmidt-Wilson 7th floor know how to have a good time.  Like our impromptu hall picnics, or dancing in the rain, or Chinese and movie nights, or weekly Dawson’s Creek viewing parties.  We had such a good time our first year at college. 

Page 2: Noon — Beth and I are listening to K105 driving through town.  We here an announcement for a free Rascal Flatts concert that night and a signing at one of the Walmarts.  2pm — We head to Walmart, meet the guys, and get pics.  6pm — We line up outside the outdoor theater hoping to get in.  We get in, get seats, and see a great concert.  10pm — Beth and I both head to our 3rd shift jobs.  The best day of the summer!

Page 3: In August, I moved out of the dorms and into an off-campus apartment with three roommates.  It was fun, but a lot of work.  We got a taste of freedom and all the hassles that come with it. 

Page 4:  By Christmas, I was spending the holidays with the family and meeting my new little sister (well, sorta sister) Annika Jo.  She’s now 10-years-old!  I can’t believe it!
