Monday it will be two years since we moved to Texas, and I've been thinking lately about how so many choices have put me on the path to the life I live today.
My ex asked me to stay in my hometown and go to school instead of going to the college 2 hrs away, I made the choice to stay, and when that relationship ended I had a crazy summer, and I met Justin:) I made the choice to do another year at the community college even though I'd been accepted into the University . I know most people will think that's stupid, and it probably is, but every choice leads you to another path.
That choice led me to another, staying in Poteau or picking up and moving 5 hrs away from everyone I know and love . I took a leap of faith because I knew Justin was my future, and even though I didn't know where things would go, I knew as long as I was with him, life would be good. So here we are, two years later and we are happily married, about to have our 4th Christmas together and this year we have our beautiful baby girl, so looking at my life, I may not be doing what I wanted to do when I was 18, but I also never imagined myself as a mother either, and its the best thing in the entire world. I'm sure people who I went to school with think I'm a failure, or a drop out, but I love my life as a mother and wife, and I think I made the right choices.
