Milestones

During trivia night we started talking about what life milestone's we've been through since joining Charming, and someone (Kayte? Fallin?) suggested we create a thread. So: what life milestones have you gone through since joining Charming? Anything counts as long as it's important to you!

Two babies, news jobs, a few moves, real teaching position, divorce, new beau and family. It all worked out in the end

Didn't you also get married right when you joined?

I haven't been here that long, but! I've moved back to where my family is, started a new job I really love, and welcomed a nephew.

* Got my first job (which sucked)
* Moved to Oregon for said job
* Started college
* After almost two years of having a permit, I got my drivers license
* Just started a new job

I started in my last year of University so:

• Graduated.
  
• Got my first full time job
  
• Tried to date and had my first kiss (he was only a summer fling though and he didn't consider us to be "dating" and it was slimy ewww)
  
• Went clubbing for the first time
  
• Met My Husband and got in my first boyfriend.
  
• Went on my first trip by myself - I stayed with Bee!
  
• Moved out of home.
  
• Got Engaged
  
• Got Pregnant
  
• Got Married
  
• Had a Baby
  
• Started my Masters
  
• Got.... pregnant again. Dropped out of my Masters.
  
• Had My Second Child.
  
• Bought a House.
  
  

And then I left because seriously how busy were those years????? After that though life managed to quiet down and all that seemed to happen in the mean time is that I got a cat and killed half of my yard...

Thank you Bee <3 Your magic has made Sisse bloom

Oh man, let's see...

-- I moved to TN.
-- I started and graduated from high school.
-- Got accepted to college, but then had an unexpected financial expense, so I withdrew.
-- Which was actually a blessing in disguise because I was still pretty undecided about what I wanted to do career-wise, so I worked for a few years in a couple of different sections.
-- Finally got my driver's license in the years since.
-- I moved from TN to TX.
-- Started college in Jan. 2020 to get my Associate's in Accounting. Will be starting my "second" semester on 08/24.
