I was tagged quite awhile ago and haven't gotten to it with travel and all, so here goes. This is my first time so I will probably do it all wrong, but oh well.

Rule #1: Remove the blog site at the top of the list below, move all the blog site names up one, and add yourself to the bottom.

What were you doing ten years ago?
Summer of 1997- I was home working for the summer. I was home from attending a University about 6 hours from my home. My brother was attending the University in my home town. He wanted to be on the ballroom dance team so as he was going to try out I asked him what he was doing. He told me and I decided to go along and try out too. Yes, I wasn’t going to that University, but I figured it didn’t matter since I wouldn’t make it; It was a strong program and very competitive. Well, I ended up making the team and then I had a dilemma. I tried out because I LOVE to dance and ballroom is lots of fun to do with guys that know how to do it. A free day of dancing is how I initially viewed the situation. At the last moment I wondered if I should change where I was going to school. My brother made the team too and I thought that would be fun. He is two years older than I. I decided not to change schools and I really have wished that I would have stayed. I thought, “Oh I will have another chance to do these things later.” Not so. I realize now that you need to do those things when you are young and not married. For example, it isn’t practical for my husband and I to do it now for various reasons and I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it with anyone other than my husband. So there you go. 10 years ago I had a pivotal decision to make. Just a side note: my brother made the traveling team and he quite the team just before they started traveling on overnight trips. Here is the reason. He said the guys on the team were gay and he was not about to sleep in the same bed with them. My brother is a 6’3” guy who has always been a football player and quite large. I thought it was interesting that a guy of his size would be so nervous. He said he knew what happened during those trips and he wanted no part in it. This is bringing up a lot of memories. I’ll try to be brief on the next ones.
