20 Years Ago
  • Jackie's mom sat her down next to me on a bench outside the first day of second grade, Merci Mme Sloan
  • Ben was called to Korea on his mission, a move that would change our family culture and logistics forever
  • I was a daffodil in Alice in Wonderland and had a witty line about a tree's bark being worse than it's bite.
10 Years Ago
  • I thought I knew everything
  • drove my parents crazy and a big ford truck
  • won a scholarship to the Art Institute of Seattle and SVC and subsequently moved to VA
5 Years ago
  • I was extremely tan and golfed/hiked/went boating almost every day
  • moved to Korea
  • got married
3 Years Ago
  • my painting biz was taking over my life. I painted before and after my other job and on weekends. I painted in my dreams.
  • when I wasn't painting I was walking/running Gibson and Max and keeping them from digging their way to Asia in the backyard
  • all in all, working my tail off
1 Year Ago
  • first semester of the design program
  • working for the installation company booking travel and goofing off with nate and chris in the backyard
  • hiking a lot around the hills behind our house. Even in the snow.
This Year So Far
  • working on my 4th semester at the BC {3 to go!}
  • wished a hundred times Seaira and those guys lived closer
  • loved and lost but feel like it was worth it completely

Yesterday

  • I worked and went to school {rinse and repeat}
  • finished our ADA project for Studio tonight
  • discovered a yummy salad at Rumbi {wish I knew the name so I could recommend it}

One Year From Now

Lessons learned every step of the way! Every step makes you wiser but don't think about the older part!! It is a lot easier to be optimistic if you leave time out of it! And you forgot to mention the strength you have received from every experience....good or bad! Everything will be wonderful soon I am sure!

You are so amazing. Thanks for posting this. It's neat to see a glimpse of your past.
I wrote a comment how dumb it was. Sorry sometimes I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I like the part about painting in your dreams. It's funny how our real life fills our unconsciousness.

no kidding Cara, my favorite dreams are when I'm a fantastic ice skater. I'm so fast I'm practically flying, and always backwards... weird

Every step of the way you are editing, refining, and honing your gifts. You are shaping your life instead of letting your life shape you. Good Girl!!!
