20 years ago...

20 yrs ago: Mike was 17 and just graduated from HS, Misty was 15 and trying to convince mom and dad she was mature enough to date! Mandy was 11 and excited about being in the last grade of elementary school for the coming year. Marin was 6 and looking forward to a fun summer. I was going on 40 and not at a very good place in my life. We all went to Liberty Park on the 4th to lay in the backyard of Garn's grandmother's house and listen to the radio play music as the fireworks were going off. Garn was still working for the State of Utah in corrections and I was still reffing b-ball, teaching early morning spanish (Mandy and Marin attended too), and tutoring math (if you can believe it! Mr. Webb Snarr had invented "Snarr math and it was a hit.)
10 yrs ago: Mike and Marcie were married with 4 yr old twins, Austin and Devan. Misty and Dan had 2 1/2 yr old McKy and was pg with Mason and they were living in Holladay. Mandy was going on 21 and she and Jon had 6 mo. old Sadie. Marin was 16 and had just finished her soph yr at Murray High and loved the dating scene. I was Still reffing b-ball, soccer and softball but no longer playing those sports but was really into racquetball. Still teaching Espanol in the am but no longer tutoring math. ( Which was probably a good thing since I could never get my time card to add up right!) I was about to be hired as an ESL tutor for Liberty Elem. with Darlene Evans as my boss (love that woman) Garn was still running Marathons and working for the state. We were serving as service missionaries in an inner-city ward, Liberty 8th ward, downtown and loving it.
One Year Ago: Mike and Marcie still living in Murray and the twins just finished their 7th grade yr at Hillcrest Jr High. Misty and Dan are finally back home from living in Meridian, Id and then Redlands, Calif. for the past 5 yrs and settled in Herriman with their 4 boys: McKy 11, Mason going on 9, Marcus going on 6 and Merrick 3. Mandy and Jon were living in Murray across the street from Grant Elem with their 4 kids: Sadie 9, Haylie 6, Carden 3, and Alicyn 1. Marin and JR, newlyweds of a little over a year are living 0n 31st south ( Imperial Lane) having sold their condo in West Jordan. Wow, ALL my kids were still here just a year ago. Garn is now doing tri-athelons and I no longer am reffing soccer; still playing racquetball and doing tournaments.
1 Month ago: Garn and I had just returned the end of May from Kirkland, Wash having helped Marin and JR move up there. Mandy and Jon moved to McKinney, Tx in Feb. Misty and Dan's 4 boys all played b aseball. Mike and Marcie and boys finished up their motorcycle races with no broken bones this time.
Yesterday: I actually got up early ( 7:45am) to prepare my RS lesson for Aug. and do the RS agendas and birthday treats for the next 3 weeks so I'll be free to enjoy my kids returning here for our reunion at Cherry Hill in less than 2 wks! I did laundry and called all those who have to clean the ward bldg. this Sat. then picked up the twins and went shopping and came back home and we played board games. Read my scriptures and watched The Mole on TV.
Gee, Marin, when I accepted your challenge to do this, I didn't realize how taxing it would be on my brain but it was fun to do. Now, I give the 20 yr challenge to ya'll!
