10 Years Ago I was...

Finishing up my junior year of college at Samford University (Go Bulldogs!!). Valerie and I were packing up the dorm room for the last time (we moved to our Memory Court apartment our senior year) and planning for the infamous "trip to Savannah" (Valerie, I am still waiting on that piece of chocolate cake!) If I remember correctly, May 1998 was also the month and year Valerie and I ventured to some unknown part of Alabama searching for a replacement cat for my mother. It was there that I called my Dad on a cell phone from a trailer park asking if I could pay $300 for a Himalayan cat. Needless to say, he was not thrilled. But as usually happens, the women won out, and Mom and Dad have had Sophie for 10 years now.

5 Years Ago I was....

Oddly enough, planning another trip to Savannah! This time Matt and I traveled to Savannah for our first year anniversary (our anniversary's in June, but work and school schedules made May a better travel option). We stayed at the Zeigler House and had so much fun seeing the sights and eating our way around Savannah. We have Carolina and Confederate jasmine planted all around our house to this day because the jasmine was in full bloom in Savannah that May and everything smelled absolutely delicious!!

1 Year Ago I was...

In awe at how quickly Walker and Kathryn's first year was flying by! We were gearing up for a fun filled summer: Walker and Kathryn's first birthday party at Dauphin Island, the Busbee family beach trip, and Brad and Makenzi's wedding.

Fun at the beach!
