So 3 years ago I had just barely graduated high school and I had my whole life planned. I was going to get my degree in Childhood education, work with babies my whole life, meet a great guy, marry him, and be a stay at home mom. I thought since I had it all planned out that it would be smooth sailing...funny right? haha Well I quickly learned that life does not work out how you want it to.
I never thought I would be the junior in college with no real major, working at flying j, and being 21 and living at home. Despite the detour I seem to be taking, life is good.
Here are the top 10 things that I love right now (not necessarily in order)
1. My sister and I only have to look at each other to know what the other is thinking.
2.I have a great group of friends who make me laugh a lot!
3. I can go to work and laugh the whole night (depending on who is working).
4. That by working at Flying J I have come out of my shell a little bit. I used to be a super quiet girl, well not so much anymore. I am a different girl than I was 6 months ago when I started. :)
5. Although living at home isnt something I really want right now, I love seeing my dad and mom every night. They are amazing people!
6. I love that dad has learned how to text. It makes me smile when I see a message from dad that says, "bring me home a diet coke" or sometimes just the word "cookie".
7. I love that I work with my Aunt Sherry. She is one hilarious lady.
8. I love my brother and what an example he is to me. He is one strong person!
9. I love my car...superficial? yes but it is my first real car and I love it a lot! Especially when it drives me away from McCammon and into Pocatello where my friends are.
10. I love that it is the simple things in life that make me the happiest. I can say that I am happier now than I was 3 years ago when I thought I had my life planned out. Now I really have no set plan and am just taking time to smell the roses.
Life is totally not what I expected, but for now I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am pretty content. Except on nights when I am stuck in McCammon but hey we cant have it all! Free rent is pretty awesome and the bills are getting paid off a lot faster. I just found out that I am a match to give my brother a kidney. As long as I am mentally/emotionally stable and have 2 kidneys I will be giving him a kidney. It might take at long as 6 months from now to actually do the surgery, but at least we know I am a match. Then I can look into moving out on my own again. After that life might be perfect.
