2010

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).

So here I am, all grown up at 25 years old and about the go through my husband's 2nd deployment with the USAF. I'm pleased with the way life is turning out, only thing I would like to change...I would have loved to graduate 3 yrs ago and gotten a great job making tons of money, but we can't have it all I guess. I have a great God and a husband who loves me more than I deserve, I think I'm doing pretty good.
