Wow! 10 years has passed since high school! That's nuts! In some ways I feel like I've barely graduated, and in others I feel like high school was another life!
The summer after graduation I headed up to BYU. Only three months after being there I met a "really hot guy" and ended up marrying him 9 months later. That has been the best decision of my life! We were married right after my first season on the BYU gymnastics team. We had planned on waiting to have kids till after I had competed my four years, but after a year or so had gone by we decided we wanted to start our family. So, in 2002 we had our first little girl. It's funny how having kids changes your entire life!
Since then I have been either nursing or pregnant the entire time! All the while struggling to get in shape between pregnancies, keep the house clean (I've definately failed there!), teach my kids to read, or ride bikes, or do cartwheels, or swim, etc. The list goes on and on! But I have to say that even though I am a very busy mother of 5, I am a very happy one too! My kids are darling and my husband is amazing, and I just want to savor every moment with them!
