I have officially been "tagged" ...
Past... Present... Future ... I was tagged by Solitaire and I have been so busy I have had no time to write about the stuff that I usually do but this seemed like it would be quick and fun so here goes...
Ten years ago: 1995... The summer graduated high school. I packed my life into two suitcases and began my journey towards becoming an architect at Rhode Island School of Design.
Five years ago: 2000... Wow I had finally completed my degree in architecture and was in the process of getting my degree in Interior Design and a Diploma in Auto CAD. This was also the end of my first year of living in Canada.
One year ago: 2004 ... My family decided to up and move to Dubai to be closer to my Grandmother and Brother. I had just turned 27 and took my friends on a vacation to Vegas for my birthday!! This was also the summer when I met two of the most amazing guys who have come to mean the world to me.
Yesterday: Dance practice... Dance practice and more dance practice followed by a very long night of poker that rolled into 4:00 am
Today: Got my brother a Hummer H2 for the week as a wedding present to him from his siblings. (We wanted him to have an experience to remember rather than just another thing that may or may not collect dust) helped with more wedding preparations and then ofcourse the evening was all about dance practice!!!
Tomorrow: Lots of cleaning , a lunch to attend and ofcourse more wedding preparations, which means ... MORE DANCE PRACTICE!!!
