where did the time go?

so i’m answering a thread at a message board about a private college that i attended after high school, and i’m counting back how many years ago it was. 6 wasn’t it? maybe 7? nope, it’s 10 YEARS AGO. 10!

i’m 28 years old. i went to college when i was 18. 10. YEARS. AGO.

after regaining consciousness, i started to think about what has happened, where did the time go.

1999 – 18 years old – college
2000 – 19 years old – started working in web development
2001 – 20 years old – met Regan, started blogging
2002 – 21 years old – started Regan’s migration process
2003 – 22 years old – caught up with work and the angst of being away from Regan
2004 – 23 years old – Regan & I were married
2005 – 24 years old – first year of marriage & a trip back to the USA together
2006 – 25 years old – bought our first property, weird trip back to Malaysia together, began gluten free lifestyle
2007 – 26 years old – Jasper arrived, bought our second property (sold the first)
2008 – 27 years old – dealt with being a working mum, pregnant for the second time
2009 – 28 years old – Jovie arrives

and when you look at it, that’s alot of stuff that’s happened but it just feels like it’s yesterday that i was at college, or when i met Regan, or was in the States, or bought our first property. it feels like this morning, we had Jasper and just an hour ago, I had Jovie. it doesn’t make me feel old too much, it makes me feel like i’ve lived the past 10 years pretty well – that i’ve filled it with things that i love and are positive for my future. that i haven’t really wasted any of it.

and if this isn’t an indication of how time flies when you’re having fun, i don’t know what is!! i wonder what the next 10 years will be like ..

where were you 10 years ago?
