It is hard for me to look back and figure out how this all came together. I know I never had it planned out. I don’t even think I really had a goal. By contrast I am pretty sure my wife had some plan but she has never shared it with me.
But here we are. 14 years of marriage. A 13 year old yellow lab. 2 kids. A good job that supports us.
I am certain that I am not smart enough to have pulled this all together by any design of my own. I am not a believer in destiny. So it is a bit challenging to see how so many random events have netted themselves together like pieces of a puzzle.
I think it is not so much that the pieces were destine to fit well together in the beginning but that love, determination, desire, and loyalty have a way of sanding the edges. Pieces that didn’t fit perfectly well, are made to fit.
Destiny sounds better though.

Great post. I can relate to what you are saying. I still feel like the lost teenager I was thirteen years ago and can’t figure out how I got to this point in my life. I am glad I did though!
Doesn’t it make you wonder sometimes, “what if I hadn’t make that choice?” I think there are better choices I could have made on certain things, but I wouldn’t want to change any of it because I wouldn’t want to have missed out on any of the experiences I have had along the way.
Your kids are beautiful, by the way.

Perfectly said. I am going to work that into something…
