If you would have asked me when I was 17, what my life would be like, I never thought I'd..
Have been married at 22
Had a baby by 23
Had another at 26
Gotten completely over being Molested as a child.
Felt so completely in love and complete with one man
Been any part of the US Military System
Had a husband who had been off to war twice
Had enough guts to finally get a tattoo sleeve
Spent most of the last 9 years as a housewife
Moved out of New Jersey
Lived in a Foreign Country
Quit College (a few times)
Been married for 10 years by the time I reached 32...
I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.
Sometimes I just think to myself, "How the fuck did I get here?" I'm a housewife, living on an Air Force Base, Living without Eddie again, in fucking Colorado Springs. I was supposed to go to college, finish that in 4 years with plans to go to dental school. If it had all worked out as planned, I'd be an orthodontist by now. I would probably be living somewhere in NJ with a job and a house and make people's ugly teeth pretty for a living.
Every time I felt like I was taking a long turn, it led me to the right path. I am supposed to be here. I might get bored from time to time (ok, bored often) and feel like I will burst but this too will make sense. There are so many chains of events that, at first, seemed like horrible tragedies but always ended up leading us to higher ground.
Ok.. enough rambling. I have an episode of Top Model to finish!
