Now & Then

I found this fun idea on one of my new favourite blogs, Aileen Allen's At Home in Love.  I thought it was such a wonderful way to take a trip down memory lane, especially as this year I will have finished school 10 years ago.

Where has 10 years gone?  It feels like yesterday I was attending school everyday, in my blue uniform, playing hockey in the afternoons and going to the movies on the weekend with my friends.  Those were the days.  Of course I miss the good ol' days but those are what made me the person I am today.  And today I am a happy wife and mother who is incredibly grateful for everything in my life right now.

So lets see how things have changed shall we?
