1. Salvation...Saved, unsaved, other? - Ten years ago, I was unsaved but was searching. It was around that time that I actually got my first Bible...Didn't read it much, to my eternal shame.

2. House? - I lived in a 3 bedroom, one bath house out in the middle of nowhere. We had a crawfish pond on one side (which bred mosquitoes like crazy!) and a soybean field on the other side (which also bred mosquitoes like crazy). I've moved 4 times since then, and now live in a 5 bedroom, 3 bath house. See how many kids I have to explain the change.

4. Vehicle? - Back then, I drove a little Nissan Stanza or a silver Nissan 4WD pick-up truck. I now drive a Ford Windstar minivan.

5. Children? - I only had one child in 1996. Now, I have four! And one's a teenager!

6. Job? - Ten years ago, I worked as an insurance agent. Now, I'm a cyanid taxonomist (in laymen's terms, I identify and sex insects, most notably mosquitoes). It's almost like trading one bloodsucker for another.

7. Domicile Location? - Back then, I was out in the country. Nowadays, it's still country, but the house is less than five minutes from a city. My night-time seranades consist of cow moos and sirens

8. Hair...Still natural, going gray, intimately acquainted with "Miss Clairol" nowadays? - "I'm gonna wash that gray right out of my hair"...Again!

9. Dress preference? - Back then, I really got into mini-skirts and those cutesy little business outfits that combined a cute blouse and matching walking shorts. Now I'm into long skirts, some pants, and cute blouses that cover my cellulite arms.

10. Cell phone? - No cell phone back then...My mom had a bag phone, which scared me! I ended up getting a cell in 2001, after I divorced.

11. Computer? - Ten years ago, I wanted one but couldn't afford it. Now, I'm on my eighth one!

12. Marital status? - I was married then, and I'm married now...But there was a divorce in 2000.

13. Camera? - I carried a Canon Rebel EOS Rebel. Now I have a Fuji Finepix s5200. Digital has spoiled me!

14. Hairstyle? Long, short, nonexistent? - Ten years ago, I never let it grow past my chin. Now, it's past my shoulders.

15. Music tastes? - Who can forget the Gin Blossoms? Now, I listen to some rock (so I'm aware of what my kids hear on the radio), but mostly to Christian rock and instrumentals.

16. Cooking skills? - I could cook back then. I can still cook. That hasn't changed.

17. Education? - Taxonomy...Still working on it, too!

18. Happiness level? - I'd have to say that I'm a lot happier now than I was back then.

19. Relationship with Parents? - This is an interesting thing. I didn't get along with my parents 10 years ago. Somewhere along the way, though, I realized my mother was an incredible woman (and that she and I were very alike), and my dad was a true blessing in my life. So the relationship's gone from "Leave me alone!" to "Do you have time to talk, Mom/Dad?"

20. Relationship with Siblings? - That's changed, too. Back then, I basically mediated between the sibs when they started bickering. Now, I basically leave them alone and just speak with two of my siblings. I think I may need to think about forgiving, and making some phone calls

Man keep up the good work my friends
You are very interesting to read!!

 

[ItalianAngel]

Okay, we all know that once you hit 30, things are changing! Compare yourself to where you were 10 years ago, and you probably can pick out at least 10 BIG changes right off the bat.

So, let's get nosey and nostalgic! Think about life ten years ago, then compare it with your life today.

Ready to get started? *mischievious hand-rub here*

Remember, you're comparing your life now to what it was in 1996. It's nothing too intimate, I promise

1. Salvation...Saved, unsaved, other? - I was saved five years prior to 1996

2. House? - I lived at home with my parents. Now I'm still living at home, but in a different house.

4. Vehicle? - I didn't drive then...and I still don't drive

5. Children? - no children then, none now, although I have my nephew and my niece.

6. Job? - I was a cashier at a grocery store then. Now I'm in accounting.

7. Domicile Location? - Pittsburgh then, same now

8. Hair...Still natural, going gray, intimately acquainted with "Miss Clairol" nowadays? - my hair then was looong and dark brown. It's shoulder length now and yes, I have noticed a few grays now and again!

9. Dress preference? - I always prefered to be as comfortable as possible, however with a bit of style

10. Cell phone? - nope

11. Computer? - I didn't have a computer in 1996. Didn't have one until 2000

12. Marital status? - I think I had a dozen or so futile crushes in 1996. Now I'm in a very loving relationship.

13. Camera? - I've always had cameras, although none digital

14. Hairstyle? Long, short, nonexistent? - loong then, shoulder length now.

15. Music tastes? - my musical tastes have pretty much remained the same these past 10 years being that electronica/ambient, celtic, classic rock and christian were my favorite genres then and they still are.

16. Cooking skills? - I didn't cook anything then. I've since become much more courageous in the kitchen!

17. Education? - I was taking some at-home writing courses in 1996. I havent done anything since then.

18. Happiness level? - I was always a happy person, but I think my level of content is higher now than it was then.
