I was going through old pictures tonight, and I found this picture. It was taken on the beach in Destin literally minutes after we got engaged. I had a tan then, and it was one of the few times in my life that I've been able to acquire one, thanks to the cancer machine (tanning bed).
At the time I had no idea what I was getting into. I was moving to California, where I had no job and no friends, save the one I was engaged to. My dad was scared I wouldn't make it in California. I'm so glad I took that chance.
Although I may not finish college at the same time as most of my friends, or buy a house as soon as they do, or start a family or a career any time soon, I'm truly happy. My husband is amazing, I love my life and I trust God to lead us in the right direction. Sometimes it's nice to be reminded of that.
