I am really kind of worried to do this post because it will probably "DATE" me big time! Oh well, here goes!
20 years ago...I had just graduated from good ol' Payson High School! I also started working as a Dental Assistant. I bought a 1987 Ford Mustang, which we would spend many nights dragging Spanish Fork main street in!! I was probably listening to some COOL 80's music!! Howard Jones was my favorite! I have seen him in concert at least 4times! I mostly hung out with Janalee and Lisa---we had some great times!!
10 years ago...I was already the mother of 3 beautiful kids. McKensie had just started Kindergarten, Josh was 3, and Maizie was about 3 months old. Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago!! We were living in the "OLD BROWN CABIN" and loving every minute of it! Ferdie had also just taken his job as an Area Manager for Big O.
5 years ago...Alot happened between 10 and 5 years ago!! By then Mollie had joined our family. She was 2 years old. We were just moving back to Utah from Boise, Idaho!! That was a HAPPY time!! Ferdie and I went on an awesome trip to SPAIN with Big O.
3 years ago...We sold our home, and moved in with my parents while we built our new home. That was a crazy time for everyone! Ferdie and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas! I would recommend this to everyone!!
1 year ago...McKensie started High School, Josh became a teenager, and Mollie got her tonsils out. We also added a dog named Bristow to our already crazy lives! Bristow is a Toy Poodle and is very HIGH maintenance!! He loves to BARK!! We love him alot!!
So far this year...We have watched alot of Basketball and Ferdie and I just got back from Dallas, Texas.
Yesterday...I got all of the laundry done from vacation, we took Maizie and Mollie to see Spiderwick, and I got to eat at one of my favorite places...BAJIO!! YUM!!
Today...I hope to be able to relax! We said goodbye to Ferdie's parents, and brother. (They were so nice to come and stay with the kids while we were in Texas!!) Ferdie might also be able to relax because his dad was so kind and took the Christmas Lights off of the house while we were gone!! Thanks!! We owe you big time!!
Tomorrow...Hopefully we can get back into our normal routine! We will go to church, then go eat a YUMMY dinner at my parents house!
This year I hope to...Be a better mom, with more patience!! I hope that we can spend alot of time together as a family! I also hope to be brave when McKensie gets her DRIVERS license!! (She gets it in less than 2 months!!) Does that mean that she can also "DATE"?!?! Scary!!
Thanks Amy for making my brain work!! It is hard to remember back 20 years ago!!

Marianna! oh how i miss you! I hope you had as much fun in Texas as I'm having in Chicago! today, at the show, a mysteriously attractive german dude (think David Bowie esq...) asked to cut my hair...and I let him! it's totally piecey, and kind of mullet-ish... but I actually like it alot! (which means Mom's gonna hate it!!!) enjoy that sweet, sweet home-made goodness tomorrow... I'm sure gonna miss it! Love ya!
Ho-Jo! I love him also (but mostly cuz of you and Janaree). I always wanted your car... It was freakin' awesome. Glad you and the Ferdster are home safe and sound!
Ah those were the days, your mustang, spanish fork main, and Depeche Mode or HoJo cranked...we were so dang cool! I do have to say that all my young women are quite impressed that I know all the eighties tunes at youth conferences and the youth dances, but I really hate telling them I graduated before they were even born! Great post!
Hey Marianne, I also love the 80's!! I love this tagging thing. It's cool to learn all this stuff about everyone! HoJo, Depeche Mode, and Erasure forever!! Rock on! (Scott is seriously reconsidering claiming me right now!)
Cruising in Spanish. . .AWESOME!
I see no co-relation between Mac driving and dating. None what so ever. Besides, if she starts dating that means she'll get married. That means she'll have a kid or two. THAT means I get to call you GRANDMA MABLE! therefore, I think you should rewrite any rules you have 'bout dating, make the age somewheres 'round 21.
i always wanted to be like you... you were the 80's bomb! love ya!
WHY ARENT YOU POSTING ANYMORE???
