5 things...

5 things I was doing 5 years ago

* We moved into our new home in April of '04.
* I was pregnant with Morgan!
* I was mothering a very challenging 3 year old Drew.
* Life back in the Valley was all new after 9 years of living away, and I was building friendships and was happy to be back. Having my sister and family back here too was SO fun!
*I was attending MOPS for the first time and loving the camaraderie I found there.

* Jeremy and the kids met me to go for a swim
