My wife, Stac tagged me, so I now have to write this blog. :) I usually hate email chain letters, but I find these kind quite enjoyable because they give perspective and provide a written record to look back on for perspective years from now.

20 Years Ago:

1. I was on my mission for the LDS Church, I was about 2 months from coming home
2. I was writing this girl named Stacey that I had hung out with High School that was in Taiwan
3. I was thinking of majoring in Sociology
4. I was thinking I wanted to be a seminary teacher

10 Years Ago:

1. We had just moved to San Francisco for a new job
2. I was working for WebLogic the coolest serverside Java company
3. I was loving commuting to the city every day and working with such smart people
4. We only had 1 child Kiah, but we wanted more and were in the adoption process
