What We've Been Up To: Amy (Hansen) Shepherd

I'm getting so excited as you all have started registering.  A lot of memories are coming back.  But my favorite thing are these 10 year updates.  Our next one?  Amy (Hansen) Shepherd!

Well it certainly hasn't felt like a decade, I can tell you that much. I still feel like a silly teenage wimp most often who has been tossed into the wilds of the world with little instruction. When asked my age I nearly reply 'eighteen' every time before double checking and falling into the realization that I'm practically thirty. Just two years shy of it. How frightening!

I'd love to say I've accomplished a great deal in my time away from Riverton, like the profiles of others who have written about their decade, but in order to remain honest...I've done very uninteresting, normal things.

College, check.

Marriage, check.

Modest home in the country, check.

Kids, check.

Pets, car payments, budgets...check check check.

That New York Times bestseller has yet to fall into my lap, that perfectly toned physique doesn't seem to want to crawl out from beneath the layers of buildup created by carrying two children, no marathons have been won, no European excursion traveled...

And as boring and uneventful as that sounds; I am unendingly happy.

Someday this routine of bland happiness will change and when I'm yanked from quiet boredom and tossed into busy chaos, maybe I'll be whistling a different tune. Until then, I remain content with my beloved husband and two outrageously fun children in our wide open spaces.

Cheers to all my classmates,

Amy (Hansen) Shepherd

 

Thanks Amy!  Until next time on...."WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO!"
