Life is
strange and ironic. When I left Arkansas, I thought
I would never look back. And yet I miss home
everyday. I guess I will always be a Southern girl
at heart. To say that my life has been an adventure
would be an understatement. I feel I have already
lived two lives in this lifetime and I am beginning a
third. My first "life" was spent being
married young and raising children. My second
"life" has been spent persuing education and my
passions. I studied to become a Computer Engineer
and currently work for NASA. I have had the
opportunity to travel and live abroad. And now my
third "life" begins....I am back in college
getting a degree in Architecture and Interior Design.
The plan is to own my own business after my retirement
from the IT Industry. This life includes my husband,
Sean and my Lhasa Alpso, Murphy, and a home in sunny
Florida. It also includes more knowledge about
hurricanes than I ever wanted to have (4 last year)!
The ironic thing is that I really don't feel much older,
especially considering the number of lives I have led.
I do feel much wiser, but I will always be a teenager
at heart....listening to loud music and laughing too loud
in restaurants. It will be interesting to see
what happens next...
