I (Julie) was sitting here at the computer wasting time and saw a cruiseline’s banner ad that read, “Come celebrate the decade with us.” It took me a sec to realize what they meant by decade. It’s 2009. Almost the end of 2009. A decade ago was the turn of the century.

Then I was struck. Wow. 1999. That was a crazy year for me. And it was 10 years ago now. Can that really be possible? And am I really 10 years older?

Ten years ago I was working at ZCMI in the shoe department. I made many new friends that year and I still keep in contact with most of them.

I also had a pre-mission boyfriend. But that’s a different story.

That year was a blast. I’d say it was the best of my life up until I met Rob 2 years later.

Thanks, 1999, for the ride.
