Tomorrow.
Though I remember 10 years ago right about this time too. We were at a bowling alley. I was wearing a Jeffrie's Fan Club t-shirt. It was 1999, and things were about to change for me forever.
The next day, November 24th, the day before Thanksgiving, my parents drove me a few miles east of our house and dropped me off to live for three weeks before flying out to Michigan for two years.
I'm not sure about this, but I think that year was the only time they had any incoming missionaries the day before Thanksgiving.
Our first full day we spent going to devotionals, hanging out with nothing to do, and watching Legacy. I'm sure they thought this was a good idea, but observing hundreds of young men recently separated from their girlfriends watching the kissing scenes was kind of depressing.
Ten years. Whew!
And then, there was that time a few days before leaving the MTC that Mikey, Aaron, and Spencer visited me. We have a picture of the four of us (fully clothed) in the "tree of life" showers.
How did I get away with that?
Mom sent me cinnamon rolls one day. And that was awesome.
I weighed 140 pounds.

It's amazing how fast time flys by... 10 years! Unbelievable.
I had similar memories of "5 years ago..." this summer. It is amazing to think how those two years seem like such a big part of my life, yet I've been home well longer than I was ever gone. I remember how weird it was sending you off that week with Thanksgiving coming and all, but at least I got your room out of it!
ha ha I'm amazed at 140 pounds! Too bad you missed the Thanksgiving dinner sounds like you needed it.
I went to Mimi Tormentme's that thanskgiving. We had a vegetarian thanksgiving. Mikey Lindgren was very upset by the concept. And I weight about as much as I do now; give or take ten pounds. Weird.
We missed you terribly.
