January 4th, 2014

Things I never anticipated 20 years ago for the 1st anniversary of my 20th birthday.

1) I never planned on moving further North.

2) I thought I was never getting remarried...

3) ...or having more kids!

4) Living so far away from both of my older kids. They are both so much more independent than I was at 20. I could not imagine not having my mom just across town.

5) Not having my mom around. Today marks the 7th anniversary of the stroke that ultimately took her life while fighting cancer.

6) Having a child that plays, eats and sleeps hockey... Who would have ever guessed that?

7) Having a job I love! At 20 I was delivering pizza and trying to support two kids...now I am an office assistant/marketing coordinator for the best HVAC company in Aberdeen.

8) Spending my 2nd 20th birthday in a freezing cold hockey arena...

9) ...and then going back to Aberdeen to spend more time in a hockey arena to watch the best NAHL hockey team play and enjoying time with friends!

10) But most of all I did not anticipate so many damn albino hairs on my head! Seriously what cruel punishment!
