If I could spring foward ten years and write an letter to myself from the year 2019, to explain to myself what the next ten years would be like from April 23,2009 until April 23, 2019, heres how I imagine it would read!!
Heather,
CONGRATS, on your 35th birthday (you thought you were old when you wrote this), your 11th anniversary (and yes you are still married to Eric), Kohen will be 6 this year and my how can it be that Abby is already almost 9 years old.
Life has changed alot over the last ten years for you.
You finally got all you wanted out of life, a wonderful family, children and a wonderful husband. You accomplished being a great mom, although you struggle from time to time and worry that your messing up some how. Your a great wife and strive daily to be better... You lost the weight you dreamed about (thats right skinny minnie). Finally you bought the house you always wanted.
Eric is now General Manager of Supreme Fixture Company (Dallas Branch) and Mike Schultz is the General Manager of Little Rock Branch. However thanks to your recent stroke of luck, you finally get to be the stay at home mom you always dreamed about (with your small buisness on the side you are able to balance business woman, mom, friend, sister and Wife).
Dakota is almost 13 years old now, your Nephew is almost 9 years old and Ryan (29 now by the way) finally got it. She finally settled down, got her life together and figured out Motherhood for herself. She is excelling in the medical field and making your all so proud.
Destiny and Jason just celebrated thier 14th wedding anniversary and have a beautiful 5 Year old son. Destiny continues to be a RN and takes wonderful care of those around her. Jason of course is working himself to death but loves his job and loves the new found responsiblity of being a dad.
Your father now almost 59 years old is doing well. He spends his time with his grand children and with his girls. He finally got his knee replaced and his health is looking up (thanks to the fact he put down the smokes).
Dont worry about your friends most of them finally figured life out like you. Karen finally went back to school and realized her dreams of being a mom, a teacher and a wonderful wife. She just needed a good push in the right directions.
Jessica has been married almost 10 years now. (Thats right We finally broke the cycle of divorce in our family)...
There has been down sides the last 10 years, you lost several family members, friends and thier loss took a toll on you for awhile. However we got you back.
Its hard to imagine this letter came from the future but it did. Your faith in God and strength in Family had pulled you through many many tradgies, holidays, birthdays, family functions, births and life itself.
Keep your head up stay strong through the rough patches, love God, Love your famly, Love your Freinds and have faith through it all..
See you in the mirror in 2019
