Goodbye 20’s

So I’m learning this little tradition from my 5 year old daughter. Before she turned 5 she went through and listed all the great things she did while she was 4. So, as today goes I’d like to provide my own rendition and recount the good things about my 20’s.

Goodbye 20
-Having a job at the Logan Center in South Bend was great, this was my first true "big boy job" as I filled in for 6 months as the HR person.
– Living with my dad one last time.
– Getting engaged to Kristen right before a Neal Diamond concert at the United Center in Chicago
– Working as a volunteer youth worker with Dan Schmidt at Trinity Evangelical Free Church in South Bend
– Working at a golf course
– Finally serving as a camp counselor, ful-filling that lifelong dream at Timber-lee in East Troy, WI
– Finishing my sophomore year at Moody Bible Institute. 2 F’s and I quit, never to return.

Goodbye 21
– Getting married
– Having our first place on LaSalle
– Get our child substitute cat, Kelly
– Kristen graduating from MBI
– Our first "real jobs" where I started working at BlueCross and Kristen worked briefly at a design firm before being hired at Home Physicians

Goodbye 22
– Kristen got our Camry on her 22nd birthday
– We moved to Hoyne in Ukrainian Village
– We became members of Calvary Memorial Church

– I started teaching 4th grade Sunday School

Goodbye 23

– We backpacked in the UP’s Porcupine Mountains.

– Spent another vacation in California for two weeks in San Jose.

More later

    Yeah… I don’t know if I’m going to get to it. Honestly, I’m having a hard time telling the difference between some of the years! Must be getting old.
