How Things Change in Five Short Years
Five years ago around this time I was enjoying a weekend in Canada with three crazy guys I went to high school with. It was just me and them. Why? Because I had been single a whole week, I had just split with the guy I had been with for three years and I wanted to get out and have a good time. We went on a spur of the moment weekend trip to party it up and drink our weekend away because in Canada you only have to be 19 to drink and gamble (which the boys did a little of as well). Five years ago I would have never seen myself where I am today. I was supposed to go to college, become a horse trainer and start my own stables or at least work for one of them that I knew in that amount of time.
Today, at 24, I am a wife of three years and the mother of a 17 month old intelligent and beautiful little girl. When I look back over the years and think of all the times I wanted to be out living it up with my friends back in Ohio I can't help but smile. I smile because I know I chose the right path for me and my future. I knew five years ago that I wanted to be married and have a family but I didn't know how drastically my life would change in order for that to happen. I smile because I can look at my husband and know that five years ago he changed my life for the better in more ways than I can ever explain to him. And right now, at this very moment I am smiling because Rory is climbing onto the table in front of me to get my attention.
With that being said I should close this post because I have a sweet little girl trying to give me kisses. You know, if I had this all to do over again I would. Nothing I ever dreamed of having could top what God has already given me.

I was just telling Jim how funny it is the way our priorities change so drastically from when we were teenagers!
ReplyDeleteIt's true!I still want to be a horse trainer and in time I will be. For now I'm just doing what I love most and that's being home with my girl and attempting to be a good house wife ;)
