The Past Decade....

Edit: I started this post on Day 2 of 2010.  But it took me a bit longer to find all the photos.

It's Day 4 in this brand spankin' New Year! Nothing exciting has happened yet...therefore I'll post a brief synopsis of the past 10 years from the perspective of moi. This post should be interesting, as I'll be busting out some old school photos.

New Year's Eve 1999

I didn't spend it with these guys, but decided to post this old school picture of Dani, I and Marlith, simply because I have no clue if my folks read this blog. Despite being an adult and married some things should remain in the closet, don't you agree?! As for Jared, he was some where in Caracas,  Venezuela.

Year 2001

Hmmm...what happened in this year. Slowly but surely, getting adjusted to the American Way of Life. After living in Germany for 20 yrs, it took some time to get the hang of things. But afterward it was smooth sailing. Other than that, nothing spectacular happened, except for my car accident. I totaled my car in the process. Dropped out of school due to the injuries I sustained. This also delayed my graduation date. I have some photos of the car accident somewhere, but can't find them at the moment. Not to mention, I don't have a scanner.Then again, I doubt anyone would want to see the photos anyway. So, unfortunately 2001 doesn't get a photo. Also, sometime around here Jared and I lost touch.

 Year 2002

consisted of going back to college, to finish up my Bachelors of Arts. Of course do the typicalcollege stuff, such as party, party, party. And since we don't  need anymore party photos...I won't post any. =P

New Year Eve 2003

Always wanted to spend NYE in Vegas. Well, that year I got to experience NYE Vegas style. It was pretty memorable. I even had the chance to see the Hoover Dam. It was definitely fun, but I don't have to do it again. Like I said, NYE Vegas style is must once in your life, but once is enough.

Year 2004

A lot happend in 2004! I became a first time Auntie. My niece Naomi Li was born. And I graduated from CSUF with my Bachelors of Arts. Woohoo!!!

Year 2005

One of my best friends from College, Marlith, got married and I got to be her Maid of Honor. Jared and I reconnected by visiting each other. Prior to that, we were in touch sporadically, with me always trying to get in touch with him. It was pretty oneside.  He might disagree...but it was pretty much of me.  To J: My mail got returned to me and this number is no longer in service. Need I say more!

Year 2006

2006 was definitely a memorable year! I graduated with my Master of Arts in June!! Woohoo! Finally done with school. To celebrate some friends and I traveled to Cancun, Mexico, where I definitely lived it up before going to to the reality of working from 9-5.or so I thought. As for being done with school, I might have said that prematurely, as I have plans to go back again. Crazy I know.

Year 2007

 

 

 Jared and I strolled down memory lane and attended an Adult Prom in 2007. Ok, not really. I was just kidding. Actually, my younger sister Nita, got married in September. Towards the end of the year, on my dad's birthday (29.Dec.07), I got engaged. Naturally this year was great in my book as well.

Year 2008

 

 

 

Dani, my other best friend from college, got married. Marlith and I got to stand up by her side on her special day. Her wedding was also a small mini reunion of the Turley High gang. Jared and I traveled to the East Coast and I became an Auntie again.

Year 2009

Of course the highlight of 2009 was getting hitched! After all the ups and and downs, all the complications and obstacles, we finally made it. =)

All in all the past 10 years was full of ups and down, and most important life lesson. 2010 bring it on!
