On this day....20 years in the making
June 20,2004... A day that was full of crazy adventures. See Year 10-Moving Day! for all the crazy details. Not sure how it's been 20 years since I left with a dream in my heart and thinking it was only going to be for a year. I thought for sure I would only be gone for one year. How naive I was! When I was writing the 10-year posts, I thought ahead about the 20-year post. Where would I be? What would I be doing? I certainly did NOT see my life where it is now. I was in corporate America living my life, hiding the part of me that wanted to be in the classroom, shoving it way down so I didn't have to think about it. I know that time in my life was important. It gave me confidence in who I am as a person, it gave me the strength to stand up for myself, and it showed me truly how to be a team player and the importance of relying on your coworkers to help you out in any situation. But it certainly wasn't my passion. The last ten years have had way too many goodby
