For Relief Society tonight, we are supposed to bring the Table of Contents for what would be the book of our life. I
completely forgot until this morning waited until the last minute, so it isn't very detailed. I broke it into periods of similar experiences. Some chapters are filled with years of memories. Elmer's glue, pencil sharpeners, Sunshine Generation, running through sprinklers with my sister all kind of got lumped into the elementary years. My college years were had a deep impact on me, different reasons at different schools. My decade as a married woman has been filled to over-flowing with blessing, challenges, Tim's schooling, my children's schooling, and even a bit of my own. Church callings, PTA, carpools, family history, amazing friends and extended families growing closer together have all been part of the collage that is my life. Here's a general breakdown of what I would write. My life is a very rough draft that I try to edit, polish and make presentable with the hopes that I have something worth reading in the end. Maybe someday I'll share more excerpts of chapters gone by.
If you opened my book here's what you might find:
Corrine- A Very Rough Draft
Birth & early childhood- West siiiide
Elementary years- Great teachers, great experiences, great parents, great sisters
Middle school- Who isn’t awkward at this age?
High school- Girls just wanna have extra-curriculars
Dixie College- Of leaving, languishing and languages
Snow College- Temples, and roommates and future husband, OH MY!
Mission- servicio, amor, espiritu, esperando, esperanza
Newlyweds- Lay off the lay-offs already
Kids- Like Baby, Baby, Baby oh. Sleep is for sissies
Nowadays- Go where you’re needed, do what you can.
