I like what my sister-in-law, Sarah, has done with one of her blog entries; that is, creating a chronological listing of what she calls "formative experiences" in her life. I wrote one of these for my life and posted it in 2008, but it's not current and needs some updating. So here goes:
1957 Being born. Without this step, there would be no significant -- or otherwise -- events in my life.
1977 Meeting Tim, my husband-to-be, at Southwestern University
1979 Graduation from Southwestern University (Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance)
1980 My marriage to Tim
1981 Moving to Rochester, NY for Tim to attend graduate school. Some very difficult and unhappy years for me.
1985 Moving back to Texas for me to attend graduate school (TCU)
1987 Graduation from Texas Christian University (Master of Music in Piano Pedagogy)
1988 My Dad dies at the age of 61
1989 Buying our first home and still living there
1992 Graduation from UNT (Master of Science in Library & Information Sciences)
1993 My Mom dies at the age of 55
1997 Starting first school library job
1999 Tim is diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
2004 Last vacation with Tim to San Francisco (what fun!)
2005 Tim dies of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma after a struggle of 5 years
2007 Taking an Alaskan cruise with friend, Sandy, a trip of a lifetime!

2007 Becoming a pet Mommy to Domino
2007 Taking the interim job as pianist as a permanent position
