5 years ago...

• Abby was eight months old and an only child, so life was so simple.  Though I may not have thought that at the time.
• We were managing an apartment building in downtown Edmonton.  The Susan Manor.  We were probably busy phoning the police, or dealing with a mouse issue at this very moment five years ago...ahh the good ol' days.  
• Hired our first babysitter.  She burnt the pizza I'd set out for her and the fire department came.  We had to come home early to turn off the alarm
• We purchased our first car together.  A Toyota Corolla with only 7 km on it.  That was fun!
• John and I went on our first real trip together.  All the way to Salt Lake for two family Weddings.
