My sister in law did this time table of her life, because it was her birthday. I was so impressed by all the info. I decided to do it too. I really recommend you do this. Its a great personal history. It was very interesting and fun to do. I actually made a more detailed one for "my" records. For the blog though, I just did highlights for the year. So here it is. Thanks for the idea Stacey.
Antoinette's 29 years!
1979-Born Feb. 11, 1979 9lbs10oz, in Spokane WA. I almost lost my my mom 3 or 6 weeks later due to a massive hemorrhage she had. Grandma Zirker died one month before I was born. I was named after my Great Grandma Antoinette May Hardy. Just like me she rarely used her “real” name. She went by Nettie.
1980-Year one-Mt. St. Helen's erupted. I was living in Tri-Cities. I have pictures of me playing in the ash.
1981Year Two- Grandpa Zirker died this year.
1982Year Three-My parents separated
1983Year Four-Mom married Alexander
1984Year Five-Started Kindergarten in Moses Lake. Got my Tonsils out.
1985Year Six-Mom divorced Alexander and we moved to Bountiful, Utah. I had Ms. Davis for 1st grade. We lived with my two Aunts. I remember exploring the apartment grounds we lived in. I remember being a little bully. And causing much trouble for the apartment managers. I walked to school.
1986Year Seven-I had Miss Elliot for 2nd grade. I was running my fingers along a fence as I walked by and my CTR ring caught on the fence and dug a hug sore. I still have the scar! I remember traveling to Wa with my Aunt Ardis's family a lot. I knew the route by heart even though I was so young.
1987Year Eight- Had Mrs. Park for third grade. I was baptized March 1st by Mitchell Whitaker. My cousin, I was his first baptism before going on his mission. I remember I took a girls bike and rode it without permission, and as I sat in the Bishops office during my interview I remember clearing feeling guilty about it when he asked if it was okay to steal. My older sister ran away from home this year...found in Florida.
1988Year Nine-I had Miss Miller for 4th grade. We moved this year to South Jordan. Mom married Price. This was a fun move because we moved to a farm. We had four horses, 32 sheep (I remember), a dog, couple of pigs, who frequently got out, had turkeys who were mean, (I chased them all the time though, if I remember correctly they were mean first!) tons of cats. I got to ride the buss to school.
1989Year Ten- Started 5th grade in South Jordan. My Nephew Derrick was born this year. I remember him falling asleep on my tummy as I watched cartoons. My Aunt lived in American Fork. I spent a lot of time there at her house. If I was sick from school, my mom would drive me down there while she was at work. I loved it there. I was “sick” a lot. Mom divorced Price so we moved to Rose Park, by the video store my Aunts owned and my mom managed. This was a hard move for me. I just didn't like that school. I had the meanest teacher. Mrs. Flow came this year.
1990Year Eleven- I moved to Warden, WA to live with my Aunt Ardis for the year. I had a great year. The kids teased me relentlessly though. I clogged. Met some life long acquaintances and friends. (Brad grew up in the neighboring town) So I still see some of these friends.

1994Year Fifteen-Freshman year of High School. My high school was pretty tough and rough. I saw a lot of fights in my High School years. None of which I was apart of thank goodness. I got to watch the birth of my niece, Shaelee Marie. Played Volleyball, did Swimming, and ran Track.
1995Year Sixteen- Sophomore year of High School. Passed the written driving test only because the test had a plastic cover on it and someone had filled in the circles on the plastic.
