Prequel

When did my life derail?

Derail may be too harsh of a word. When did my life go off the beaten path?

I'm sure it was earlier than this, but I think it started in 2007.

In the past four years, I have completed an undergraduate and graduate degree, moved three times to three different time zones, planned a wedding in Virginia from Boise and married my boyfriend of six years, worked more mindless desk jobs than I care to count, played for free or next to free more times than I care to count. I've been robbed twice, been to the hospital four times and considered bankruptcy more than once.

And, for some reason, I'm happy. I always have been. 

You hear about people that seem happy but are, deep down, sad. I'm the opposite. The surface of my life, like many, is filled with uncertainty, stress and change, which causes me to be incredibly preoccupied. I get overwhelmed easily and do not hide it well. However, deep down, I know how lucky I am. I am happily married, healthy and am getting paid well to do what I love!

I hope that this blog will help me and my friends reflect on what is important in life, because too often life gets in the way!
