What was I doing 10 Years Ago?

Well I was a sophomore at Ricks College in Rexburg, ID. I had fallen head over heals for my Donnie Boy!! I could care less about school, I just wanted to be with him every minute. I had fun living at Colonial house with 5 great roomates. I was still adjusting to living in the west. Things like calling soda "pop" still bugged me, asking for a "sac" instead of bag was different, and my favorite.....giving directions using N E S and W. (When you grow up in VA, you can't relate to directions that way. You can't see past the trees to figure out which direction you're going.) Donevan and I were close to being engaged and doing a little bit of window shopping at ring stores. We got engaged Thanksgiving time. I was so young...and so in love!!! I still am so in love, but not so young.



What was I doing 5 years Ago?

We had just moved to Idaho Falls and were living in a 2 bedroom apt. in Ammon. Donevan was working his first real job at the hospital in the Behavioral Health Center and starting up his private practice. We were excited to be done with graduate school and be close to Grandma and Grandpa Neider. The triplets were almost 2 and keeping us very entertained. I didn't go out very much. It was a lot of diaper changing, naps and cleaning up.



What was I doing 1 year ago?

We had just moved into our new house. I can still remember the first night we slept in our house. It was a dream come true and we were all so excited. The girls were just starting Kindergarten and I had the worst pregnancy sickness. It's a good thing the girls were in afternoon kindergarten because the mornings were so bad for me. I couldn't get out of bed without getting sick. So, we had a great morning routine. The girls would wake me up in the morning by bringing me toast, water and my zofran medicine. If I took my medicine, ate my toast and drank my water, I could funtion at a minimal level. They really pampered me and took such good care of me. They would rub my back and hold my hair back while I was throwing up. I frequently heard them whispering to eachother, "I don't ever want to be pregnant". I'd throw up every day all day for nine months again!!! D.J. is totally worth it.



What was I doing yesterday?

I woke up at 6 am, fed D.J., rocked him back to sleep. Got back in bed. My alarm went off at 7:30, made oatmeal for the girls, did their hair, practiced spelling words, had morning prayer, fed D.J., sent the girls off to school, put D. J. down for a nap, got in the shower, cleaned the house for a baby shower I was hosting that evening, got a call that the girl I was hosting a shower for was in labor, called guests to cancel the shower, read blogs, emailed, paid bills, did laundry, went to lunch with hubby, fed D.J., ran some errands to prepare for dinner party at our house the next evening, rushed home to get girls off of bus, got girls ready for a soccer game, watched soccer game, drove through wendy's for a quick dinner, went to park for a suicide prevention walk-a-thon, let the girls play on the playground for a few minutes, rushed home, fed D.J, helped girls take showers and brush out hair, helped with homework and spelling words, read story, said prayers, tucked girls in, put D.J. down for the night, more laundry, watched some recorded shows with Donevan, was in bed by midnight. Great Day!!!

Most Memorable Things Right Now?

Enjoying quiet moments with my new baby, especially when he wakes up in the middle of the night and it's so quiet and it's just him and me. Watching my girls fall in love with their little brother. Watching my hubby have a son. Loving being a mom and juggling so many things at once.
