My Journey

Life is a journey. Sometimes it brings joy and happiness, sometimes it brings sadness and misery. It seems no matter how long you ponder on choices life brings you, and no matter how sure you are about moving forward with that decision... Sometimes the things that follow make you think it was a mistake or makes you wonder WHY!?!?

I can think of several things throughout this marriage that I could consider a mistake. Some of the big ones would be..
Nouvoue Riche
Hair School
Maryland
Right now we are struggling because of the decision to move to Maryland. We sold everything we had, I gave up the BEST job I EVER had, and we moved across the country. In result of this decision:

I haven't had a job since January
We are living with my parents
We have absolutely no furniture

But.... we have so much more now! When I take a look back on this and other "mistakes" I now see we only lost material things. Casey and I are closer together than ever before and we KNOW the lord is supporting us. I have a new respect and love for Casey, and we have learned that the most important things in live is our love and the gospel. When we put that first... the rest of this worldly stuff has a way of working itself out. Casey has a great job now... even though I'm still looking.
I do know that If I had the chance to go back and do it all again.. I would take the same chances and make the same decisions. That is only because I am so happy with where we are today, and I know that these challenges and trials have brought us HERE!

We are so helplessly and hopelessly in love.
