Friday Fun: LIfe Edition

Friday Fun

1. When you look back at your childhood dreams, has your life gone in the direction you expected?
My life is somewhat different than I expected it to be. I did everything backwards...I had kids, then got married, worked to support us all and then finally got a degree. No, I would not go back and change things.

2. What were the three most life changing events in your life? How did they shape who you are?
My mom died when I was 20 and my dad died when I was 21. I felt so alone in the world...but I had to be the strong one and take care of my brother and my daughter. I learned how to cook, clean, take care of a family and be responsible rather quickly. My ex-husband (he was only a boyfriend at the time of their deaths) was very supportive during that time which is partly why I married him. We got married in October 1992 and separated in May 1994. His leaving was the third thing that changed my life. I learned how to be independent and to not rely on the world to make my path in life.

3. Is there anything you would drastically change about your life or are you content with where your life has taken you? I would like to pick up everything and move to Wisconsin...new job, new house, new start at life. I feel like I am stuck in a rut where I currently am and I want out of it.
