Five Minute Friday Prompt: Five Years Ago

This is my first time linking up for Five Minute Friday with The Gypsy Mama

Here are the rules:

1. Write your heart out for five minutes and then show us what you’ve got.
2. Tell your readers you’re linking up here and invite them to play along.
3. And most importantly, go visit, read, and encourage the fellow five-minuter who linked up right before you.

This weeks prompt is to spend five minutes writing about where you were or what you were doing 5 years ago.


Here's a brief summary of my life 5 years ago.

5 years ago was Feb. of 2006. I was living in Las Vegas, while Kane was living here in Houston. I was living in Vegas to finish up my Degree in Elementary Education at UNLV. I was doing my pre-student teaching classes. I was teaching 5th grade twice a week for the whole semester. My life was not very interesting at the time. All I did was go to school, go to work either subbing or working at Linens and Things, volunteering at Opportunity Village (special needs center) or hanging out at my apartment by myself. I tried to stay busy as much as possible because I missed my husband. I spent alot of time with some good friends, Sheena, Laura or Adri on the weekends to pass the time. I have to say from Nov 05 to Aug 06 had to be one of the hardest years of my life. Living away from husband for close to a year was hard. It was different when he was in the military because I knew I could not see him when he got deployed, but it was 10 times harder knowing he was only three states away. Let's just say we spent alot of money on plane tickets.

Time...hopefully it makes sense!!!

Enjoy...now go link up with The Gypsy Mama:)
