1.) What I was doing ten years ago: It was September 1997, so I was living in my Bungalow on the South Hill of Spokane Washington. I bought it in 1993 and reburbished it. Interesting, Kari helped paint it! I think I was dating this WSU Ph.D canidate in microbiology (David). I was working at Fairchild AFB as a Family Advocacy Treatment Manager (assessing and treating those in the military associated with domestic violence and child abuse) I ran groups, did child and adult therapy, testified in court, provided marital therapy.

2.) Five years ago: September 2002--I was living in Germany (Hohnecken) and working for Ramstein AFB at a Pediatric Behavioral Clinic working exculsively with children, adolscents and families in therapy. I had been married a year and a half. I had been through 3 miscarriages by then.

3.) One year ago: September 2006, had a 2 1/2 year old attending a developmental preschool 2 days (2.5 hours each) a week and a son that was was 19 months old--just barely into nursery at our church. I was completely burned out as a nursery leader by that time. I had returned earlier that month from Ireland (see side bar 2006 and scroll down).

4.) Yesterday: 16 September 2007--I went to church and taught a lesson to the women of our church on marriage (since the teacher called the night before to cancel). We had dinner then went on a walk with the kids to our village Kerb (little carnival) and went home and put them to bed before our home teachers came at 8 pm.
