Goodbye to a decade

It didn't strike me that 2009 ended a decade until news reports started making such a big deal out of it. While watching recaps of the top ten sports plays of the last decade, celebrity stories, deaths, poignant historical moments, etc., I got to thinking about my own decade.

The last ten years have consisted of graduating from college, starting my first job, heading out on a marketing tour around the country, moving to St. Louis and then DC, finding love and getting married, traveling, buying a house, achieving success in a career that I really enjoy, creating loads of memories with family and making dozens of new friends. It's been such an interesting decade that I am anxiously awaiting what the next 10 years will bring!

But, as you'll see from the photo below of New Year's Eve 1999, the Tolley kids really haven't changed that much. (Please, no one tell me that I looked so young. I like to think that I still do.)


PS: Chad reminded me today how much I've been neglecting this blog, and he's totally right. So now that the holidays are over, and I should have more time to put all of the things in my head down on paper, look for some updates on what we've been doing.

"Tolley kids haven't changed that much"....are we looking at the same picture? Good grief I was a sophomore in high school!

Well Daniel has changed quite a bit...but that is to be expected. As for you girls...I think you have all just become a little more polished and sophisticated looking! :)
