It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.....

Beginning 20's
*struggling divorced mom with three kids


Middle 20"s
*trying to start a business so I wouldn't be dependant on cs or having to take loans from my dad.

Late 20's
* after having to burry 2 sons, realizing what was important in life.
* making a comfortable life with my daughter and making the most of each day.

My entire 20's -- completely all about me!

Early 20's -- School and beer and boys.

Mid 20's -- My husband and me

Late 20's -- Started thinking more about the future. Got married.

Early 20's
Got married!, moved country! learning about myself

Mid 20's
Learning more about America, about DH and kids!

Late 20's
Learning more about myself, my family and career

My twenties started off all about me and became all about my family. I didn't have a clue during my first marriage. Everything happens for a reason.

early twenties - IMPULSIVE - college, fun, lots of partying, moved out west and had a quickie "practice marriage" to a ski instructor

mid twenties - divorced, moved back to the south, focused on my career and learned how to be a grown up

By my late twenties I was happily married to my dh and we had bought our first house together. We travelled like crazy in anticipation of starting a family in our thirties.

early twenties:
moved out on own
dated the wrong guy for 2+ years
was doing everything to please everyone else
had no idea who I was (just out of college and confused)

middle twenties:
dumped wrong guy
met right guy
got married
still trying to please everyone else
still no idea of who I was

Late twenties (still here currently; I am 29 1/2):
had DD
quit job and took a part time job that fits me so much better
lost DS to stillbirth
Finally have some idea of what is important in life and am working to improve my life to show this.

__________________

I was very unsure of myself. I needed constant reassurance from dh ,my family, my friends

I was newly married and my dh was overseas in the middle east and and I was living in Canada while he was over there. I would hear from him once every two weeks and nothing in between. It was the longest year of my life.

I didn't want children

I was skinny and didn't know it

I had great skin, and didn't realize it at the time!

I had to adjust to moving away from my ENTIRE family and friends and country to live overseas in a lifestyle I was not used to (the military). I was really home sick at first and wasn't so sure of the life I married into (not the person, just the life)

I learned a language (Italian) and made life time friends with my Italian counterparts! LOL

We had multiple break ins to our house and car which really shook me up and my confidence (which was lacking anyway). It was a horrific ordeal to go through.


Late Twenties:

I was working as a preschool teacher and LOVING my job

I was respected amongst my peers

My students loved me

I got "the itch" and wanted kids

I had TWO before I was 30!!

I was very unsure of myself as a mother but always followed my instinct.
