10 years has gone by since we all thought the world was going to end with Y2K, which seems silly now but then again we still have plenty of silly people thinking the world is going to end in 2012. It is crazy to think where I was 10 years ago, I was 15 yrs. old, a sophomore in high school and was just about to start dating my high school sweetheart. My sister had just gone off to college and I was the last one at home with my parents. At 15 I didn't have many plans for the future, I could hardly think past the next day that I got to see my boyfriend. I, like many people I'm sure, feel like I wasted a lot of time in my adolescent years, but I'm not sure how you can do much different when you are 15, self conscience and boy crazy. My last two years of high school were tumultuous, I had many broken hearts and many learning experiences about "friends" from teenage girls. I went off to college at California Baptist University at 17, not because I wanted to, but because that is where everyone in my family had gone to school before me and honestly my prospects were quite slim. I met some friends there, some friends who are very dear to me and even though we live in different parts of the country now, they will remain so for the rest of our lives. I moved home second semester of my sophomore year of college, and stayed there until I figured some things out about myself. I went back to CBU where I immediately met the wonderful man who would become my husband. Things went pretty quickly from there, I was at school for another year until I got married and moved across the country to Panama City, FL. From there we moved to Oklahoma City and I started school again at the University of Oklahoma (you'd think I'd be a doctor by now).

Quick perspective
The last few weeks have not really gone according to plan, well my plan, that is. Every time Michael and I set out to spend some time together (outside of sitting on the couch watching T.V. "together") something comes up. He is leaving at 5am tomorrow for a week. I obviously was not pleased about this since he just got back from being deployed and has been in class for the last two weekends. So we decided to go on a date tonight, nice dinner a movie, the whole bit. After showering and spending 30 min drying my 20 pounds of hair, he informs me that he is not feeling well enough to do anything. He started to not feel great last night and was trying to kick it all morning. In true frustrated, over-emotional wife fashion I kind of threw a fit. I felt bad that he is not feeling good so I don't want to force him to take me out when he just wants to be in bed, but I was actually really mad at the situation in general. We decided to just go to dinner and rent a movie (still not a bad gig), but I was having a hard time pulling myself out of my selfish stupor. So while I sat pouting, I came across a blog of a girl I went to college with who just wrote about her sister who just passed away last week. I did not know this girl very well, but it still struck me, it is always hard to hear of someone so young, who has kids, passing away. I can't imagine how painful that would be, and as a Christian I am supposed to be able to handle a situation like that much differently than a non- Christian. I sat and thought about how this girl was dealing with this loss, she was praising the Lord that people came to know Christ from her SISTER'S FUNERAL.

No longer husbandless
So my sweet lovin' man is back home after being deployed since September. The first week he was home we spent with his family in southern California. It was great to see the fam but we were both pretty ready to get home and just enjoy being together again. So now I am back in school, Michael is heading back to work and we're just hanging out. Readjusting really hasn't been too difficult, it's just nice to have him home!
