Back in 2006 I had a Family Home Evening lesson with a group of singles in Fremont, California. I can't believe I kept it this entire time and I actually knew where to find it! I have been anxiously awaiting this day for 4 years! I forgot what I wrote in there! We filled out a form and here was what I read:Name: Kat Shattuck
Age: 20
Hair length/color: Shoulder length and brown with blonde streaks
Current work/school situation: Ohlone College (IPP), ILRCSF (work) and American Eagle (work).
Highlights/accomplishments during 2005: Went skydiving, moved away from my hometown, went off prozac, only had ONE boyfriend during the year (apparently an amazing accomplishment for me), made the lead in south pacific; Nellie, went to new york, and turned 20, not a teenager anymore.
Goals for 2006: Temple attendance at least twice a month (accomplished), graduate the IPP (accomplished), write in journal once a week (accomplished), grow my hair past my chest; no major cuts! (accomplished).
Accomplishments/what you think you'll be doing/goals for the end of the year 2010: I wish to be married at least by 2010 (little did I know I'd be married for 3 years by this time). I hope to have a BA in deaf studies or interpreting (accomplished! Whew). I don't know where I'll be living but it doesn't matter. I hope I'm alive! If not... at least I know I'm in a better place. (Wow, I was morbid!!)
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed that I didn't have better goals and expectations for myself. I have accomplished so many more things than I could have imagined, and maybe I felt like I COULD because I was able to take my time and didn't have any deadlines to meet.
2010 was a rough year, but also fulfilling. Looking back at the beginning of the year I was going through some hard times, but things are really put into perspective for me when I compare that to where I am now. (Plus... I have my sister back!)
I don't have many goals for 2011. Gee, I'm starting to get complacent with my life... I feel like there's not much left to accomplish except to just LIVE! I've done everything I wanted to by now except for having kids and traveling everywhere. Kids will have to wait, and I just got back from England so I guess I could say life is pretty great right now.
My one major goal for 2011?
Forgive, forget, and live in the present.

I love your perfectly painted nails. :)
If I would have asked for a husband, I wouldn't have met that goal. So your standards aren't too low. ;)
I like your goal for 2011...I like that it's a goal, and not a resolution....I think it makes a difference. Welcome home.
Love you Kat!!! You know, kids can come now your sista is back!!! ;)
I just got a great book, called "The Power of Now" about living in the present. I'll let you know if it's good and you can borrow it. Hey, have any good books I can borrow now that I'm feeling better? Just need one (not a bunch). Love you honey. Thanks for making everything FUN.
