Old Years End

2010. Ten years ago, that seemed like a long time from now. But yet, here I am, hours away from it.
The last 10 years have been crazy and eventful. Sometime, I look back and think "how sad", and sometimes I look back and think "frickin' awesome"

In the last 10 years, I have:
-lived in 3 different states
-lived in 9 different houses,
-been engaged twice, married once
-carried 2 babies in my belly
-given birth to said babies.
-changed careers (drastically)
-taken over 15 tests to do those careers effectively,
-lost a parent
-lost a parent in a different way
-gained some parents
-gained 3 cats, 2 of which are still here
-owned 2 houses
-driven over 150,000 miles
-driven 6 different cars
-had 3 accidents, only one of them was bad.
-been in the hospital too many times to count
-become a sister-in-law 6 times
-added 3 new sisters and a new brother by way of Prouty
-become an aunt twice
-made so many new friends, and lost some
-renewed friendships through facebook
-traveled to 3 countries
-and many many states
-loved, loved, loved.
-made November 29, 2002 the start of Elizabeth Prouty
-been loved overwhelmingly and without measure by Jayson Prouty
-been touched indelibly by Dallas and Addison Prouty
-met Robert Joseph, who fills that part of my heart left vacant when I lost my Daddy
-met you or deepened my friendship with you. (and you know who you are). You have made my life better or complete or more full of laughter than I could ever imagine.I thank God for you.

The last 10 years have been life-changing. Awe-inspiring. And in the words of New Kids on the Block circa 1994 "Let's make the next 10 even more Wicked Awesome"

Love, Elizabeth
