Jessica Tagged me. It’s probably a little boring coming from a grandma but here it goes.
Ten years ago…….
1- Tens years ago today Rebecca was in her first year of marriage and calling home often from Idaho
2-Tens years ago today Deborah was just a few days away from her 17th birthday loving school but still not enjoying dating.
3- Ten years ago today I was probably worried about John Daniel turning 16 and entering the world of dating and driving. (However I have since learned he was already driving)
4-Tens years ago today Jessica was 10 years old and in the sixth grade. She broke her hip that year and she learned quickly what it was like being in a wheelchair and using crutches.
5-Ten years ago today John was Bishop and we had most of the kids home and life was sweet.
6-Ten years ago today John changed jobs and started building 3 years earlier
7-Ten years ago today I was the Stake Camp Director and was starting to plan for the summer camp.
8–Ten years ago today I was still enjoying my mother and father here calling them about every day.
9-Ten years ago today I was on the City Council PTA working as leadership Vice President.
10- Ten years ago today I was probably thinking about how lucky I was to have such great kids and husband as I do today.

Hey, It's Amy, Nick's sister. I told him Deb needed to start a blog so we could keep up on their kiddos and he directed me to yours - what a cop out. So just know that I am now learning about you as I try to keep up on the Greers.
Hey Arlene, are you still there or are you completely buried in the snow? I wish you could send some our way, we are in final water restrictions because there's a good chance Raleigh could run out of water by summer. Scary...good thing we have some stored. Rach
