Aloha Friday # 29
I am going back in time today. So today I ask you the following questions, answer one or answer all just have fun going back in time.
Todays Question......
Go back 5, 10 and/or 20 years in time, how old were you and what were you doing in your life then?
My answers:
5 Years ago I was 29 years old and Luke would have been one. We had our home a couple years at this point and had gotten a good start on the work before Luke arrived.
10 years ago I was 24 and the year would have been 1999. I had just been married one year, we were living in our little apartment and I was working full time and going to collage full time. I always have been one of those people that has to load my plate with way to much stuff.
20 years ago I would have been 14. I would have been in junior high school (8th grade). It was the last year my parents lived in town before we moved to the apple farm that my parents live on today.
Play along at An Island Life for Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

About Me

- Hi I am Nina! OK Nina is a nickname but I doubt you really care. I am 35 years old, married, two wonderful boys. Luke is my sweet gentile 6 year old and Thomas is my wild and crazy 2 year old. The two of them wear me out but I love everything about them. I hope you enjoy all our crazy adventures as much as we do.
