And if I had taken a different path....

It's a fact, I've just turned 35. Sometimes that feels very OLD, and other times it seems like the best time of my life. No struggling with the issues one has in their 20's. We usually have sorted out who we are and what we want by this age, and are reaping the rewards of having been an adult for many years. Experience...wisdom...all of that. Would I trade what I know now for youth again? I don't know...

ANYWAYS, I met Ken in the Philippines my last year of high school. Had I not met him I probably would have done one of three things:

1. Come back to Utah and probably become some sort of cowgirl. You see, I already was listening to the music, wore my stone-washed denim jacket with that white wool collar that was in style, and loved riding in trucks, the higher the better.

2. Gone to Hawaii and met some Polynesian man and stayed there...now that sounds better...

3. Become a teacher, stay single, get REALLY smart.

But instead I have THIS much love in the world to share:

I'm finally realizing that "THIS" is good. Maybe I would have been richer or smarter or who knows what, but I've become the person who I am now, and she's a pretty cool person if I say so myself. (With a darn good husband and 5 crazy kids to keep her on her toes)

And I can STILL be smart you know, that isn't reserved for all the single ladies...
