Today is my final Friday as a person in my 20's. It has lead me to a slight bit of looking back. I've had roughly 520 Fridays in my 20's. I tried to look back at what I might have been doing for most of those day. So I included a list of some of those memorable Friday's.....
July 17, 2009- On this Friday I gave birth to baby number 5. The morning started out with a lot of scary thoughts, I was scheduled for a c-section. It ended with considerable amount of pain, a very tired mommy and a healthy 9lb 2oz baby girl.
August 5th, 2005- On this Friday Rashaan started football camp at Wingate. It was a big deal because I had just got home from the hospital with the twins on Wednesday August 3rd. It was going to be a big deal for all of us.
June 4, 2004- On this Friday I came home from the hospital with my second son, Calen. Rashaan had to leave for his friends wedding so I came home from the hosptial with my mom and grandmother. I was glad to be home but experiencing the trials of having a newborn and a toddler.
July 4, 2003- This was the last Friday before we got married. It was a hot day and it was filled with a lot of tension and stress. So many things had to be finished. I remember sitting up till about 10:30 that night tieing candy into pouches for our favors.
March 7, 2008- This Friday was my 27th birthday and it was also the day that Rashaan got offered the Cornell Job. It was filled with some choices, sadness and excitement. It was a day that changed the course of our lives forever.
January 16 2009- This may be one of the worst Friday's I had. On this day Rashaan resigned from Cornell. It was probably one of the saddest days I can remember. It was filled with a lot of crying and unhappiness. This is surely one Friday I'd like to forget.
May 4th 2001,--On this day I loaded my stuff in the car and left behind my family and friends. I moved to North Carolina with Rashaan and I remember how much promise and joy this day had. I remember how excited I was to be moving into my new apartment...
These are just some of the over 500 Fridays I had in the last 10 years of my life. Many of them happy, many of them sad. The point is that each of these many Friday's has added up to be a point in my life. In ten years I will look back and say another 500 Fridays have gone by, what do I have to show. So with that being sad its time to start making new Friday memories!
Finally getting caught back up on your blog. How I remember a couple of those Friday's with you. You have grown so much since we became friends. I am so proud of you and your family. Thank you for including me in your life.
