Settling Down? Bit Overrated Don't You Think

Several of my friends are getting to the stage in their life where they want to settle down. I hate to be the one voice in the crowd shouting "BUT THEY CAN'T TAKE OUR FREEDOM" But if not me then who will. Sometimes I sound like your typical cynical divorcee but that's where I am. I got married young and with that I got divorced young. I am 24 and am divorced. Some say that has aged me and they are probably right. But I have been given a second chance at my dreams and so I'm taking it. I want to live life to its fullest leave no experience untried. Call me crazy but I'm not ready to be tied down again. Talking the other day with a friend she made the comment that her left hand was feeling naked. My reply was this "i had the ring, the sailor husband, and the big beautiful wedding. then the ring became a shackle, the sailor a stranger, and the wedding a memory." For me getting married young was a bit overrated. The dream wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Marriage was a lot harder than I could ever have imagined. So I guess I'll settle for being the voice in the crowd shouting reality. I'll be content with getting the marvelous chance to dare to dream again.

I love these boys.

Some Great Weekends

I have had some great weekends these past few weeks. 3 weeks ago, I went to Atlanta to see WLP. It was the first time we had seen eachother in 3 years. I enjoyed my time with him. It was great to be in his arms for a few days. Not sure how, but somehow over the past 5 years he has become my best friend. While in ATL, Will and I went and saw Al for a little bit. The boys got a long great and it was good to see Al for the first time in 10 months. 2 weeks ago I went to Clarkston for our monthly trip. We taught ESL and it was soo awesome. A week ago I went to ATL for Al's Halloween party and had a great weekend. Then this past weekend I went to Auburn for homecoming. While, my life has been flipped upside down by my divorce, I am so thankful to be blessed by so many amazing friends. You guys have truly made an unbearable situation bearable. I love you all and am so thankful for you guys.
