GTKY-1 year ago today

mcstrepp

I just got a text from my friend telling me that 1 year ago today we were at my bachelorette party. If you told me this time last year I would be preparing for a little girl I probably would have thought you were nuts. What were you doing 1 year ago today?

Anyone else have that "memoir" app that looks at all your social media accounts and shows you what you were doing 1 year, 2 years...5 years ago? It's pretty neat and has brought back a lot of memories.

Anyway, according to memoir 1 year ago today I took a picture of my dog in my backyard. Thrilling lol but FIVE years ago today DH and I were driving from Seattle to Oklahoma City (he had three months of job training and I went with). Judging by the pictures we were in the middle of NOWHERE today. In fact there's a picture of our GPS that says our next turn is in 346 miles....

My DH and I had agreed that I would go off the pills after summer was over last year, haha. We tried to do more things over the weekend such as trips to the beach, San Francisco, hiking, etc.

@Jen9608‌ that sounds like a cool app. I will have to check it out.

Last year in February and April, respectively, my husband and I both lost our jobs. He was collecting unemployment and I was still waiting for it to come through. In May, we found out that we were denied for public assistance because we had too much in savings and unearned income (unemployment). We had chewed through our emergency savings and had about a month of expenses left, and my husband was bringing home $1600/month in unemployment, which was barely enough to pay our rent, let alone anything else. We were preparing to move in with my parents and I was researching places that we could collect food boxes to feed our kid.

BUT, he accepted his dream job on this day last year, and started a couple days later. It was enough income for me to discontinue my job search and stay home with my SN kiddo, and we've spent the last year rebuilding our emergency savings and saving for a house, plus paying off the medical debt that we accrued while we were unemployed. It is hard to believe how much our life has changed in a year, and I would have never thought that one year later we'd be 6 months along with our second kiddo (especially because we were firmly OAD  ).

A year ago today we were beginning the weekend of our first anniversary with a CG formal dining out followed by a weekend on Martha's Vineyard. Our anniversary is on Monday. Can't believe we have almost been married for 2 years now and are expecting our little girl.

A year ago today I was learning how to make caramel sauce to go on a Snickers Cake for my SO's birthday. I had also just recently been put on insulin for diabetes and making that caramel sauce was testing my ability to be a good patient. I mean, I had to taste it, how else would i know if i made it right? Also baking was how I was distracting myself from the upcoming due date after my MC
A year later and I'm insulin free and getting ready for our little one... it makes my head spin. Although now that I'm thinking about it I may have to make another snickers cake... or at least the caramel sauce for over ice cream.

One year ago today I wanted to gouge my eyes out studying for the bar exam. I much prefer this year!!

One year ago DH and I had just come home from a Memorial Day trip to a broken air conditioner, so we were freaking out about coming up with an unexpected $1500. Also I think I was already pregnant for the first time, though I didn't get the BFP until mid-June.

I don't know about exactly what I was doing, but I'm pretty sure it involved chasing around aubrey. She had been crawling for 2 months and had started pulling up and going everywhere. she was 9 months old.

This is the anniversary weekend of when FI and I started dating so I actually remember! We were in Sedona on a family vacation It is one of our favorite places to visit so we try and go every year.

One year ago, DH and I were setting up our wedding registry at Macy's and found an amazing deal on the suits he wanted for the wedding. It's amazing that we will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary a week or so after our daughter is born.

One year ago, DH was in Turkey for a month for an unfortunately timed business trip. I was at home in WA freaking out about our cross-country move and the fact that DH wouldn't be there to help me get the house ready.

One year ago today I was playing with this cutie who was just turning 5 months old. I can't believe he'll be 17 months tomorrow and I'm already 6 months pregnant with his sister.

Irisheyes1247

Apparently last year today I did exactly the same thing I did today - filled up the kiddie pool for the first time and had a fun day with my chicks.

A year ago I was anxious for my DH to come home from a 9 month tour in Afghanistan. He came home safe and sound July 24

I was starting to get into a running routine! I hate running but it was starting to get a TINY bit enjoyable. I had just run my 2nd 5k and was getting ready to start prepping for a 10k!

Packing all our stuff into a shipping container for our big move across the pond!

1 year ago today I had just turned in my resignation for my highly stressful job and was packing to move three states away for my new job.    That move and the lack of stress is receiving a lot of credit for my current pregnant status!

A year ago DD was exactly 4 months old. We were about to start probably the hardest year of our lives, although we didn't know it then. It has involved DH getting severely depressed and suicidal due to his old job, a car we had just bought having major engine problems 3 days later, having to put our dog down because of aggression/attacking DD, many promising job opportunities falling through, and now DH being unemployed because his temporary position ended and he hasn't found a new job yet. I never would've guessed I'd be over halfway through a second pregnancy considering it took over a year to conceive DD. Not to mention that DH was too depressed and unstable for awhile to imagine having another baby. But our marriage has grown stronger through it all and hopefully better things are ahead.

Oddly enough I don't have a fb status for a year ago today so I don't remember exactly. We had just returned from a cruise to the Bahamas the 27th or 28th so I bet I was back at work. It's so hard to believe how fast a year has went by and how much our lives have changed. Today DH and I have just spent the day together and now were outside sitting by the fire pit. I would feel safe saying today has been better than whatever I was doing last year at this time

I was finishing up tech school and getting ready to go home for leave before we moved to Hawaii. It will be one year since we moved here on July 4th.

whataboutscience

I was looking for a new job. I've been there almost a year and am about to leave to travel, get the nursery ready, and then stay home. We were already trying by then, so I didn't plan in staying at that job for terribly long.

One year ago today I was at home recovering from a super painful procedure due to no doctor being able to explain my abdominal pain I was in. I was also mourning due to the fact it had been 6 months and we were not conceiving like I had hoped and planned. Fast forward to September 2013 and I finally found a surgeon who did a pretty risky and scary surgery and the pain was instantly gone. Fast forward to December 2013 when we made the agonizing decision to call the fertility specialist because we were convinced we were unable to conceive naturally. And then fast forward to our  year anniversary on 12/31/13 when we found it we did! I've never been so happy to cancel a doctor's appointment

One year ago this weekend we were trying for pg #2, that ended up in a CP. I was down to my lowest weight since high school, working and planning a mini vac to Maine.

A year ago today, I was planning for the last week of school and beginning the one month countdown to my July wedding. Crazy how time flies and things change!

A year ago I was still at my first location with my job, and I think they had just told us our branch would be closing. We were living with SO's parents because he wasn't working - and wouldn't find a job for another 5 months. It was stressful, but we got through it, and everything seemed to fall into place all at once in December - right before we got our BFP.

slowmo

One year ago, I was excited/panicked about starting my first day in a new career as a nurse. There were definitely days in the months that followed when I thought I'd never make it through my first year in nursing. I'm so happy to be on the other side of that year with a new house and a new baby on the horizon!

fernane

A year ago this month we got licensed as a foster home and DS was 14 months. So much has happened since then it seems unreal!

camichael84

I remember one year ago day perfectly because we had just bought our house. We spent the morning finishing the second coat of paint on the living room accent wall, then my in-laws came over to help us get yard work done. Ironically, we spent today painting the accent wall in the baby's room and my in-laws were over helping us build our raised garden.

ETA: I also know a year ago I would have killed to be pregnant. We'd been trying just under a year at that point. So, so grateful to have my baby girl on the way now.

One year ago today I was sick in bed with the flu. Bummer. I like this year much better!

1 year ago today I was celebrating my 25th birthday at the bars in Baltimore! I knew it would be my last crazy birthday at the bar, and we started trying in June! I'm happy to be celebrating my 26th birthday with a baby bump and some BROWNIES!

Mrs.Leah.Maria

I love Timehop for this reason! One year ago my husband finished installing an egress window in our basement, in the house we are now renting out, and I had a 9 week old.


I would have never dreamed I'd be 24w pregnant with another DD, living in a new house.

mapchick77

One year ago this past weekend was the first full weekend that DH and I spent without DS. My parents were watching him for us and if I remember correctly we went to the movies, went out to dinner twice and met up with friends for drinks. DS was just over 6 months old and I worried the whole time. :-)

I was at DH's graduation ceremony. He went back to school in his mid 20's and got the engineering degree he'd always wanted!

One year ago I was starting to get sick with what I thought was a summer cold. It lasted 2 weeks then got worse. It turned into a UTI and I was given antibiotocs to treat it. After 2 doses of the antibiotics, I was unresponsive & was rushed to the hospital where I was in acute organ failure. I spent 6 days in ICU thinking I had everything from cancer to lupus. While in the hospital, I developed severe pneumonia and couldnt breathe at all. I thought I was going to die and all I wanted to do was say bye to my son. I was a TERRIBLE month and I am so thankful I healed, Im healthy and I have a little sweetie on the way. This June is WAAAY better already!

1 year ago today we were planning our wedding! who knew we'd be having a little baby boy now!

1 year ago my husband and I were just getting back from out honeymoon! It's crazy how quickly things can change in just a year.

One year ago today- I was stressing big time for our wedding in September. Now our little girl is due the day after our first anniversary! A different kind of stress this time around, and such a special blessing!!

seacatch

One year ago this week I was at a conference for work in Miami and stressing a little since I was trying to prep for our July wedding but work kept sending me on trips so I was never around to meet with people and settle details.
