So I was reading an old blog entry from Yes and Yes and I realized that my path is my path. I can't compare it to others. Here's what my life plan looked like from my 16 year old self's point of view:
1. Graduate high school
2. Move to Utah
3. Go to BYU (Brigham Young University) on a scholarship
4. Travel the world
5. Get married
6. Get my degree
7. Buy a house
8. Have babies
9. Be a stay at home mom until said babies are grown
10. Be a lawyer
11. Retire with hubs to Europe
This is how my real life plan has worked out thus far:
1. Graduate high school
2. Move to Utah
3. Take a year off of school
4. Work at a bank
5. Go to Salt Lake Community College
6. A little bit of travelling (Dominican Republic, MA, San Fran, Idaho)
7. Meet and fall in love with boy
8. Take more time off from school
So obviously my list isn't finished, but it just goes to show life never works out like we think it will. No matter how much we plan. My life is different than I though and I'm excited about that. I have so many opportunities ahead! I don't fit in any boxes.

Amen. You almost motivated me to make a list of my own like this. I love lists. Love them. I love you. Love Kristi. I say "almost", but you must know that I will eventually make a list like unto this one of yours:-)
We need to swap more music soon.
Haha, lovely. And abso-freakin-lutely
