In the years since I married my husband, Shawn, he has led us to so many places we never would have gone and on adventures that we never would have imagined. Our time spent in those places and the adventures we had have given us reason to laugh and to cry, to appreciate what we have compared to others and to expand our imaginations outside of the limited existence we would have lived if he had never come into our lives.
As we have shared some of those stories with our friends they have encouraged me to write about them so that others could share in them with us. I have written some things in journals and will draw from those to help fill out some of what I write here.
Not all of them will be humorous or entertaining. I will try to start at the beginning and you will see that not everything in my life has been pleasant. Some people who already know some of my story have wondered how I can still laugh at some of the less fortunate things that happen to me - but there are two big lessons in life that everyone should remember. The biggest is that you always ALWAYS have to be able to laugh at yourself. I do a lot of that! The second is this: Usually, no matter how bad things may seem for most of us, there are people out there who are a lot worse off then we are and would love to trade with us anytime.
This blog will probably jump around different periods of my life, and for that I apologize. I hope that some of my stories will make you laugh, and that others will help you see what is around all of us and appreciate everything that you have, or seek something that you have wanted to do for yourself, but were afraid to do.
Thanks for reading,

You are the type of person that strikes one as having deep character. That doesn't come from an easy, commonplace life. Don't worry about the chronology,just write what comes. Your perspective outlined in this post is encouraging! Thank you so much for being willing to share.
